Devine, Chaytor, Morley and Lord Hanningfield face multiple charges which could result in prison sentences. Guido feels satisfied that this is a start. Particularly pleased that Jim Devine is facing charges – the Sunlight Centre made the original complaint against him to Scotland Yard.
Many other MPs will be thinking “there but for the grace of God…” Don’t be so sure it is all over troughers…

BBC: In a joint statement the MPs said they refuted any charges and would “defend our position robustly”.
Isn’t that what Harman and Scotland started with? Didn’t really work, did it?
Hope they decide to prosecute Baroness Uddin too – she’s got her trotters all over the trough too.
Jim Devine won’t make court. He’s busy having a heart attack on Sky News.
Chaytors my MP, though he won’t respond to critical letters. I hope he rots in prison.
Here’s the change we need!
the name you are using is more disgusting
Why is it that I am not surpised to learn that one of the accused is a former environment minister?
The prosecutions will be the climax of a long Nulab tradition that began after Tony promised us a new kind of government, whiter than white, ‘we are the servants not the masters’ etc. Lest we forget: (and thanks to the original poster):

Why are there far more Labour than Tories.
Not right and not fair, typical anti Labour bias.
Gordon is the man, he’ll sort this out.
Fuck Off TaT You Jock Queer !
I’d say it was typical pro-Labour bias. You’d expect more Labour MPs to be crooks because they weren’t already rich before they got into power.
Labour MPs go into power to get rich. Just as African dictators go into power to get rich.
Labour in Scotland. A festering swamp. Labour in Westminster, infested with the Scotch.
Let’s just unzip the border and let them all float away.
Now they have their own Parliament, we can declare war on them. Culloden 2 beckons.
jgm2, for the first time ever, you and I are not in complete agreement. Wealth does not dictate how honest you are. Plenty of people without a pot to piss in are honest, and plenty of the rich are crooks.
MP’s that steal do so because they have a “moral compass” that is completely f**ked up. That more Labour MP’s are crooks could be due, in part, to the constant drone that “poverty causes crime” and they deduct that its OK to thieve because they think “I’m poor, just like some of my voters, and they steal things so why shouldn’t I”.
They are not doing it for the money, they already have more than they need, they are doing it because they are dishonest deceitful scum.
They steal because they can? Fair enough.
The Italians voted in Berlesconi as they thought he was too rich to cheat.
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The more they have, the more they want…
tosser
Airey nice bit of work, facts are facts.
I don’t think Guido will be laying the charges (what a fine historical pun) so I think this means more Labour Party troughers made such outrageous claims,even the lax ‘rules’could not defend them.
Is this the best line the bunker could think of for you today?
What about UDIN she makes my skin crawl
I think I’m going visit my home country for six months or so.
Go on, do it.
It would be fucking hillarious to see you get arrested at Heathrow and dragged through the airport in cuffs on your return….
Surely we have international arrest warrants for this sort of thing.
She won’t come back…
Much safer living in a palace in Bangla…
Surrounded by “loyal” people whoi can always launch another Jihad…
jgm, not sure of our agreement with Bangladesh.
International (as oposed to EU or UK/US) law generally covers murderers rather than comparatively low-level fraudsters.
Would be interesting to know if anyone here thinks differently, could she be extradited from the marble palace??
Can’t arrest their multi-culti poster girl a couple of months before an election.
As she doesn’t seem to need her tax payer-subsidized council flat (having a palace elsewhere n’all) couldn’t it be given to a British homeless family?
@jgm2, Sorry matey, Foreign Office says no treaty, must dash, I’m off to pack my bags, ’cause I’m off to my marble palace, much better than my housing association flat over here. See ya, suckers!. http://www.fco.gov.uk/resources/en/pdf/3706546/Bilatextradition
Fat cow runs bombs r us
Take that slimy, oily , smug as a pig in shit, corrupt creep VAZ with you; that this nation tolerates greedy little ethnics who lord it over us, whilst bleeding us dry and pontificating about our supposed failings, is one indication of our servility and national decline.
Unpaid ?
The full list of charges…..
The Grauniad has as its headline that the naughty 4 face “expenses abuse charges”- surely that’s what the other 300 were guilty of? This lot are accused of deliberate theft!
Yet another PR exercise to try to playcate the anger of voters. MPs are above the law, Harmen not prosecuted for using mobile at the wheel or for leaving the scene of an accident. Scotland not prosecuted for a breach of employment law ( no paysilps for the cleaner) No doubt the reult of this fiasco will be
Uddin exonerated the rest excused by claiming parlimentry privilage or it was within the rules They wont be prosecuted or jailed you can bet on it the whole exercise is PR spin, just you wait and see.
As stated on question time contrition is the new spin
Isnt it normal to be arrested when charged with theft or fraud, That must tell you that this is just a PR stunt
Yeah.I’m sorry too but here I am still rotting in jail
Clearly a very shifty bunch posing a serious potential flight risk! They should be remanded in custody pending their trials!
Andrew Rosindell. £1.31. Jellied eels. Run, Andrew, run.
the tide has turned, my friend
Where can you get jellied eels for £1.31? They’re my favourite. Yum!
Hurray!
A tentative step in the right direction. I notice Uddin hasn’t been mentioned.
Enquiries are continuing…
Maybe it’d be “islamophobic” to charge Uddin? She better not get away with her fiddles. WHY HASN’T SHE BEEN CHARGED?!
Cause Lord Muslim Brigades (he of the causing a death while using his mobile phone and driving fame) is threatening an onslaught of 100,000 holy warriors on Ludgate if the CPS even dares!
Bangla rules ok.
Probably have to consult with ‘community leaders’ before any action can be taken. Wouldn’t want to go spoiling the fraudulent Muslim postal vote now would we, what with it being right on top of an election.
There was no way in a thousand years that a Muslim woman was going to be charged.That would be double discrimination and by reason of her origin ,she is by definition innocent.
What really pisses me of is that Blair’s expenses were shredded – no charge and the two Labour lords caught “in flagrante delecto” touting for bungs at a 100,000 a time to alter government legislation.
Why are these corrupt dishonourble bastards not even in the frame FFS?
Blair’s expenses cant have been shredded by MISTAKE !
There would be two copies of the expenses he filed
(1) His own copy
(2) The original sent into the fees office.
Then there would be a record in the fees office of all the payments made to Blair. The data is still there.
don’t you just love it when someone comes out and says “of course we’re lucky in Britain because thankfully corruption is very rare and most of our politicians are honest”
How the f*ck did that thieving cNut Udders get away with it…. About time we started voting Al Qaeda for a while…
No more boom and bust.
Just boom.
No, Just catastrophe!!!
Uddin could be the 6th case remaining under investigation. There’s no way Uddin is going to get away with the scam of not living in that Kent flat of hers.
well taylor has…..despite publicly admitting he was dossing with friends at no expense whilst raking in the allowances…………so don’t hold your breath…after all we don’t want to upset the umma do we………
Witnesses will be produced to swear that she has occupied the flat.
I’d like to see the utility bills for the period she was living at the property. I mean they wouldn’t register non existent usage, they’d go up at the weekend when she was at home, they’d vary greatly between night and day, winter against summer. Of course if there was a permanent flat lined almost non existent use, then erm well…
All the CPS needed to do was check the utility bills for the flat she claimed to be living in – why the fuck has she not been charged?
Uddin MUST stand trial.
We need a hit list on those that got off.
Pick the worst 50 or so, and make their re-election campaign hell.
Mrs. Follett, who was forced to pay back £42,000 seems to be a front runner. Also, she looks like a Horse.
Or what about Jacqui Smith, who fraudulently overclaimed tens of thousands, and didn’t even have to pay it back?
Lembit Opik – billed for £40 summons for non-payment of Council Tax!
Douglas Hogg <– irony!
Hazel Blears
Patricia Hewitt – use of rooms in Parliament to host functions on behalf of BT, after she became a non-exec director.
Peter Viggers – Quack! Quack!
Andrew Mckay and Julie Kirkbride. A tag-team of house flipping Hoons that tried to scam £60,000.
Julia Goldsworthy. £1,200 for a pink rocking chair. WTF????
I like to think of Julia straddled naked in her rocking chair – light jazz playing in the background – while she strums her banjo to the point of earth-shuddering climatic release…
For me, that’s £1,200 well spent.
climatic release…..like it starts to rain or something? or is this a reference to what the ipcc is shortly to do to pachauri?
Have you got a link to a video of that, Tom (P)?
Video? Alas not…
I’ve got one of Jacqui Smith bouncing away to a messy release on top of the washing machine we bought her, if that’s any use…?
have you seen the Smiths electric bill? She must be running an Aluminium smelter to use all that!
Those mercury lights and hydroponics eat the leccie, don’t they?
And her apology was so con-vincing , well rehersed and straight from
The Blair Millbank School of Preforming Arts
I object to that slur.
Four Labour, but only one Tory?
Move along, nothing to see here…
These are not the tories you are looking for.
You can go about your business
Move along. Move along.
Today we can reveal that three MP`s and a prominent Conservative Lord, have been charged by the police, over the expenses scandal of last year.
Prominent among them was a Conservative, Lord Hanningfield, who is also leader of Conservative controlled Essex Council. Others charged were Elliot Morley MP, David Chaytor MP and Jim Devine.
Since the scandal broke, a deeply embarressed David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party, has admitted that many Conservative MP`s and Lord`s had misused their positions of trust and claimed for items that they should not have.
The Conservative leader said recently ” it is time to clean up our politics” and with people like Lord Hanningfield highly placed within the Conservative party, he has agreed with other politicians, that it is time to clean up the Conservative party as quickly as possible.
The Prime Minister Gordon Brown, is meanwhile in Northern Ireland for the signing of the historic agreement he drafted, regarding policing in the province and the future of the peace process started by Tony Blair after the earlier failures of his Conservative predecessors.
Very good.
Have you applied for a job at the BBC? you seem to have the right sort of aptitude for impartial reporting of the facts.
LOL
We don’t think a “blog” is an appropriate organ for BBC spokespeople.
Why have a blog when yo have a blag
It is also believed that Conservative Lord Hanningfield is a climate change denier.
The bastard!
You have not filled out your BBC compliance form
The BBC assistant to the assistant of the under-manager of the line manager of the deputy manager of the deputy head of compliance (acting), want a word with you.
No, Radio5 news has just announced this as, “A TORY PEER and 3 Labour MPs have been charged..”
Complete emphasis and precedence to the word ‘Tory’ and muttering quietly about the Labour piggies. Then back to SHOUTING that THE TORY PEER IS STEPPING DOWN.
Like this means that the guy is obviously guilty, but – as the Labour piggies haven’t – the others are probably innocent.
The BBC, as is, needs to end.
I just don’t think a slight, step-by-step approach will ever get the Beeb to where it needs to be.
Baroness Uddin should be preparing for time at Holloway.
It’s a lot nicer than Tower Hamlets.
Holloway?
Is that the nice neighbourhood in Bangladesh that has all those lovely marble buildings?
Are you racist?
You taxpayers bought me a house just because I wanted one and I have got off scot free! And you’re all racist.
Were she to be in Holloway, would that constitute her primary residence, and her Tower Hamlets home her second? er…… you get the drift.
But if she’s in Holloway she won’t be signing in at the Lords for “attendance allowance”, will she?
She’s got a brovver and many others in her Tower Hamlets tribe who could do it for her.
I’d wish I’d been banged up at Hollway.
has she`d played the race card yet
2 to 1 bar
You mean the ace of spades?
This is just a token gesture.
We know that over 50% of MPs are fraudsters.
4 just is not going to satiate the Court of Public Opinion – 40 MPs behind bars would be the bare minimum to even begin to restore the publics trust..
I second that.
Is it possible to bring private prosecutions against them by their constituents?
You could try a civil prosecution.
You could try blackmagic for all the good it will do.If P&G plc could get this sort of whiter than white from a soap powder the shares would double.
I don’t get the impression that Jodie Public is seething with rage over this. Conditioned by a lifetime of lukewarm satire on TV, it’s the sort of behaviour that we all expect of them. ‘Trust me, I’m a Politician’? Don’t make me laugh.
too fucked smokin ganja
This is just expenses and those that were actually caught, what about other frauds?
It’s just so annoying.
We are right. We know we are right. Everybody knows we are right. And yet nothing will come of it.
so why don’t these 4 have to give fingerprints or DNA, as reported in tonights ITN news?
Why no Keith Vaz?
keepng something special for our Keith
frying in his own ghee
He is hiding up Gorgons RRRRR as usual
So much grease that the lawyers could not get a firm grip on him
Except his wife
Bet they’re all wishing they’d borrowed Tony Blair’s shredder.
I can shred my own receipts, bank statements and so on – but my bank also has these details, safe from my turbo-charged cross-cut shred-O-matic.
How is A.C.L. Blair different?
Because he walks on water. Do keep up, please, O Puzzled of Putney!
Like a lot of other insects and pondlife
I am absolutely astonished and devastated at the decision that has been taken today. Two new charges have been brought, both of which are easily explained and both of which I’ll be explaining in court.
I can hear the bread knives scraping underpants now , Clean nappies anyone ?
This is just the start…….this is not a case of making examples of them, but just following the letter of the law – quite simple really!
No, if they were following the letter of the law, there would be a couple of hundred other MPs in court.
This is just a token gesture that they hope will make the story go away. It won’t.
Indeed….that’s why it’s just a start……
Prison ships? Who needs them? Bent politicians perhaps…….?
When ze seagulls (sips drink) follow the trawler, it’s because ze think sardines will be thrown into ze sea. Thank you very much.
When ze seagulls (sips water) follow the trawler, it’s because ze think sardines will be thrown into ze sea. Thank you very much.
Strange that Uddin has not been charged, claiming thousands for a house you never lived in seems fairly damning. Perhaps the Labour troughing was so bad they had to pick the highlights.
Still ongoing – she will get what is due her.
She might get what the law allows, she might get what she deserves in any after life, she will not get what she deserves in UK
None of them will get what they deserve. They intend to claim parliamentary privelege which Starmer states is an issue to be tested in court.(Now where’s that list of tame judges?) Parliamentary privelege= M.p’s & Lords above the law so we can lie & thieve with impunity.
Patience is a virtue………
No, patience is a virgin. x
I thought she’d been had by Brown.
Pay attention, anonymous – it was Prudence that Brown fucked…
Still reckon they will get away with it. Afterall this government gets away with illegal war and murder, what is a little fraud.
Four charged, four aquitted.
4 Charged 3 acquitted, Tories are not covered by the MetZaNuLabour indemnity deal remember.
Quite so. The ‘jury of their peers’ has an inbuilt bias towards Labour at present.
Only if they are MPs, otherwise the jury will just say, prisoner, GUILTY and the Judge Take him down. Pity they can’t string them up as an example, but there again there’s not enough lampposts for all the troughers.
OT,
My MP was David Taylor, who passed away at Christmas.
When do they legally have to hold a By Election?
Once they’ve got the postal votes all properly fixed.
Indeed. Mr Nan-Bread Gupta, and his 250 relatives at #76 all like to vote by post, and are of course, 100% Nu Liebore supporters.
“It’s best practice going forward to do the right thing for hard-working families,” said a Nu Liebore spokespig.
There is no legal requirement, the seat can remain empty until the next general election, even if it is vacated on the first day of a new electoral term.
However, tradition has it that it is usually held within a couple of weeks.
unless the government thinks they might lose the seat or have a huge swing against them. I wonder why this one hasn’t gone forward?
Labour are shitting themselves around North West Leicestershire – they lost two Councillors to the other socialist party led by some bloke called Nick.
Labour want to concrete over the countryside here & build 15,000 houses – even though there is no local need for anywhere near that number.
Of course the other socialist party are making great gains by telling everyone that these houses are for Labour voting immigrants.
The companies building the houses are apparently both Scottish. Make your own minds up about a connection to New Labour – at a recent public meeting the building company representatives either refused to answer questions on donations to the Labour Party or completely blanked the question.
Something is very rotten in North West Leicestershire – a traditional Labour stronghold that could go to the unmentionables.
The Tory candidate is a nice bloke – but too Tim “nice but dim” for the locals.
If you believe that the Unmentionable Party is socialist, by comparison of policies what is your view of Cameron’s camp?
Of course, the Unmentionables do not change their policies depending on which way the wind blows from one minute to the next. Very unsporting of them, what?
Similarly, they’re uncontaminated by Parliamentary corruption and embezzlement. Indeed, it’s about time one of the Lib/Lab/Con paragons spelled out precisely what is so abhorrent about the Unmentionables because, so far, it remains curiously …unmentioned.
Bastards – they will end up getting another second home but with communal showers.
AT least they will be able to smoke in their cell and they still get a Gordon Brown SKy TV subscription
Alarmingly m’lud Hanningfield looks like Frank Field might in twenty years time.
Parliamentary privelage my ares – nice try!
Toughing…
As far as I can tell, nothing has been done about “flipping”… Do they think we’ve forgotten?
The electorate haven’t forgotten.
Who’s up for an alliance of people to stand against the flipping “all by the rules” troughers at the election, then following them round every day and running a massively negative campaign against them?
Let’s start an ironic campaign to free the Westminster 4 NOT and start a Facebook page in support of them Guido. I see a few T -shirt sales out of this one
The 4 have engaged the services of Max Clifford already who just put out the message that Macavity was in Northern Ireland and not returning calls from the Westminster 4
3 pigs and a Lord a leaping productions.
Lord a-lying, surely

Who put the hoon in Shoonthorpe?
Sucnthorpe, mind you i’m dyslexical
Pigs are intelligent animals who make a very positive contribution to our lives. They shouldn’t be spoken of in the same breath as the Westminster lowlife, all of it.
Those who didn’t get caught by the DPP or Legg should all be just as ashamed of themselves because they knew what was going on and did nothing about it. They are just as guilty for saying nothing as those who screwed the rotten system for all they could possibly extract from it.
I will not be voting for a sitting MP, no matter who they are. They are all full of shit and should all be summarily dismissed with nothing to show for it just as they would in the real world where there is still some decency and a clear distinction between right and wrong.
Pigs wouldn’t do this sort of thing, so leave them out of it…
blatant conspiracy to defraud the Inland revenue – “we were told the exes were instead of a salary increase and we should fill our boots”.

Am now enjoying this sat at desk in office eating fresh popcorn.
Well done to all concerned. A good result. A good initial result, with more to follow, hopefully?

Applause!
Yeh Man
They don’t like it up ‘em. Mandelson excluded.
Well done, Tim. He got the shares away before the great global warming lie hit the fan
I see you have Hunt privleges
No need for me to do any work here
this lot are already properly fucked
and the public only wants them to go fuck themselves
I will just retire to my botox farm as Max Clifford advises and soon be a Labour ambassador to children on morality
A new report shows how the Conservatives’ plans for immediate cuts could damage the economic recovery, as well as hitting families hard.
Warnings from the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the National Institute for Social Research (NIESR) call into question Tory plans to cut spending in 2010. Child tax credits and Trust Funds are amongst programmes set to be cut, hitting families hard and threatening the economic recovery.
Speaking to The Politics Show in January, David Cameron laid out conservative spending plans saying; “I think it is right to make a start in reducing some of those public spending programmes in 2010, this year.”
However, speaking to Radio 4 today, Ray Barrell, Director of Forecasting, NIESR said “There’s no need to cut spending now… what we should do is to have a fiscal expansion now and a fiscal contraction in the future”.
The warnings on Conservative policy have been raised by today’s publication of the IFS Green Budget which argues against spending cuts this year.
The report follows repeated warnings from leading economists on the danger of immediate spending cuts. Speaking to the Financial Times in January, John Hawksworth of PricewaterhouseCoopers said; “premature monetary or fiscal tightening (i.e. anytime before 2011 on any scale) would be risky”
Today’s report underlines how the Conservatives’ economic plans would put the recovery at risk and shows that the Tories’ approach would hit families and businesses today. Following the disarray in their position over recent weeks, today’s fresh concerns from economic experts cast doubts over the credibility of Conservative economic policy
Is this news? Or spin?
They are facts. You’re free to ignore facts if you like, it’s a free country. George Osborne does.
Of course the contrast is the irreproachable Labour economic policy which has bankrupted the nation.
The bond markets will decide what policy we have to follow, and its not going to be pretty, regardless of who is elected.
The craven behaviour of Brown over government debt will cost us dear.
Indeed – have a look at what’s happening in Greece, Spain and Portugal at the moment — the Euro’s going down the pan because of it.
Will Germany bail out, and return to the Deutschmark? Dan Hannon thinks it’s a possibility — Germans aren’t looking forward to subsidizing basket-case economies (of which we are one) who won’t make realistic cuts.
Why should anyone in their right mind want to invest in a corrupt, indebted, bureaucratic pig’s breakfast presided over by no less than 3 Presidents? The USA and Russia — far bigger make do with one at a time.
Liebour’s speak your weight machine returns.
Giving people Free money to spawn children
and then paying the children for being born
Only two people in history have had this politicaly motivated idea
which would keep the ruling party in power for a thousand years
They are Gordon Brown and Adolf Hitler
Our economy is on lifesupport with PIGS (Portugal,Italy,Greece,Spain) or haven’t you noticed.
13 years under Labour? Screwed economy
Total Liebour bollocks
Labour incompetence and downright idiocy has hit hard-working families very, very hard indeed and will continue to do so for many years to come.
Britain has to take the medicine to get better and the medicine is going taste bad but its going to deal with the debt addiction. If we don’t, Dr IMF will do it for us.
Labour doesn’t believe unemployment is ever a price worth paying.
That is the difference between the progressive viewpoint and your discredited, Thatcherite heartless policies.
Funny that. Unemployment seems to be higher now than in 1997.
Progressive? No.
Extremist, yes.
Treasonous, yes.
Morally & fiscally bankrupt, absolutely yes.
They certainly don’t believe in unemployment for 2 million immigrants. Why didnt they shifted our 1 million plus long term unemployed and 3 million plus on IB into jobs over the past 12 years then? Prick.
If the price is national b*nkrupcy or unemployment (and it is) then which choice will Labour take. The PBR shows that they too will be plumping for ‘unemployment’. Although thankfully for the rest of us we won’t have to look at that gurning, leering lunatic explaining how his ‘unemployment’ is so much more righteous than Tory unemployment for much longer.
That’s what being grown-up is all about. Taking difficult choices.
We’ve had 13 years of adolescent politics from adoloescent politicians. Time for the grown-ups to take charge.
Been listening to the Verve.
“The drugs don’t work”
It sees it more as a kind of benefit.
Or maybe an ‘investment’, which, fighting (not quitting) forwards into the future contrasts very sharply with the shameful Tory policy of
cut and saveboom and bustChas and Davebread and water for the masses, stout and porter for the Eaten Toff brigade.Do you have an App for this garbage, or is it just your old chums Mr Control+C and Ctrl+V?

This government deserves the bit bucket.
Thank you for your unsolicited lies. You can fuck off now.
However, speaking to Radio 4 today, Ray Barrell, Director of Forecasting, NIESR said “There’s no need to cut spending now… what we should do is to have a fiscal expansion now and a fiscal contraction in the future”.
Somebody had better tell Alistair Darling, then. He announced cuts in the Pre-Budget Report.
Besides, any fule no that “the future” in this instance really means “after the general election”. At least Darling is a pragmatist: Brown is physically incapable of saying the C word.
What Mr. Barrell meant to say was, “Vote Labour.”
Now, about these troughing MPs…
fuck off dickwad troll. Your stone is missing you.
Hi Fabian, mummy and daddy are having a little get together of old Oxford grads at the weekend. down at their Hamps country mansion. Plenty of champers and a bit of Con baiting. Up for it ? Rumour has it one of the Milli B’ s will pop in.
Do come.

Oh yes good web site they have even this nugget =
Labour’s economic record summarised
‘We suggest in this research that Labour’s economic record has been very satisfactory. Nothing has gone badly wrong with the economy over the period since 1997. Inflation has been low and stable and output growth has also been stable, at a rate consistent with most views about the trend rate of growth. By contrast with earlier periods, the public finances have been reasonably well controlled and our current position is better than that in both France and in the United States in this respect. Employment conditions have improved markedly continuing earlier trends.’
PMSL HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEH
any of those big names spot the credit crunch coming?
My second home is Strangeways
Yes it does have 14 bars only trouble is there on the fucking windows
Boo ! Hoo !
At least you will remember your daughters name now !
It will be written in the visitors book ! you theiving twat !
Hahahahaha.
Harsh. But fair.
Packed that soap on a rope yet, Dave ?
I wonder if any of them bothered to buy the box set of porridge on expenses.
About time. More!
This little piggy went to court,
This little piggy went to jail,
This little piggy had bread and water,
and the other little piggy went;
wee, wee, wee claimed all within the rules…..
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in
In their styes with all their backing
They don’t care what goes on around
In their eyes there’s something lacking
What they need’s a damn good whacking
Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon
I told you so…………..
We’ve all heard enough about expenses – and I think we can all agree the Tories have come out worse off. The duckhouses, moats and flagpoles claimed by the Old Etonian Toryboys will forever be associated with the KKKonservative Party of the few not the many.
But it’s time to move on. The British public is slowly swinging behind Labour again. We are catching up in the opinion polls. A hung Parliament or even an outright majority is on the cards.
Why?
Look at what New Labour has achieved since 1997.
The winter fuel allowance, the shortest waiting times in history, crime down by a third, the creation of SureStart, the cancer guarantee, record results in schools, more students than ever, the Disability Discrimination Act, devolution, civil partnerships, peace in Northern Ireland, the social chapter, half a million children out of poverty, maternity pay, paternity leave, child benefit at record levels, the minimum wage, the ban on cluster bombs, the cancelling of debt, the trebling of aid, the first-ever Climate Change Act.
This is the Britain we’ve been building together.
This is the change we choose.
There you have the difference between Laour blogging and indepedent blogging. You blindly cut-and-paste tractor statistics. We write things we think and feel. It’s as though all your capacity for thought and feeling have been Blaired away.
There doesn’t seem to be an opportunity to post a comment?
Wow in 13 years some Building companies have managed to build some buildings.
Maybe it these idiotic posts are to sucker us into clicking onto their sites so that they can brag about the number of visitors. More fiddled stats.
You are absolutely barking mad!!
Synonym for Liebour?
Labour isn’t working
the communists we don’t choose….its just whelan and some of his union pals …ignore them….
I think you’ll find that the majority of the UK voters will not be choosing your chains.
Deal with it.
I think the latest opinion polls show a 7-point gap and narrowing.
I’d love to see the looks on your ugly Toryboy faces when we win a 4th term!
I’ll be long dead by then, so may not be that easy to check
£100 says you won’t. Are you on?
I’d love to see the look on your faces if you won a fourth term.
The word is ‘phyrrhic’.
I can’t imagine Cameron wants to be the one to take the blame for sorting this Labour clusterfuck out.
Correction.
The word is ‘pyrrhic’. Not ‘prick’. Although if the cap fits.
Face-ist!
Heres three facts for you —
1) I have never voted conservative before
2) I have voted labour before
3) I am never going to vote labour again
Hope you are paid for your time here .. in which case you should let those in the bunket know their time is up..
I very much hope you do win. As ye sow, so shall ye reap! Never mind the look on the Toryboy faces, I want to see the look on yours when you are confronted with having to live with the lies and scorched earth you are creating.
Your government are history cnut – get over it
And your point is? You just don’t get it do you. I notice you failed to include probity in any of your achievements. And what about moral integrity, the ability to tell the truth no matter how painful, being honest with the electorate. That is what the majority of bloggers on this site expect from their incumbent government. It’s not about being being Tory/Labour/Liberal/UKIP etc etc. As it happens, Labour has failed miserably in this regard which is why it is time for you to leave. Hopefully you will have many many years in the political wilderness to reflect upon your failings. If Cameron follows the same path as you, he will also be held to account and enjoy the same level of scorn. So in short, just sod off!!
They spout this tripe out all the time and we know it’s all crap. We know how we feel being governed by morons and the undead.
Thank you for your speech but save it for your russian yacht friends and the little Brazillian boy. You are finished mate, you’ve had your chance and blew it. I would rather vote for Monty Pythons dead parrot than you bunch of slimy misfits and oh boy will I and the millions of other people cheer when you finaly go.
But it won’t be a cheer of those facing a brave new morning. It will be a cheer of those who have fragged the insane General who lead them so deeply into the land of B*nkrupcy but still have to fight their way back out.
New Labour has also delivered 21 per cent more cheese in real terms. Thanks to our policies, more people are eating more cheese, year on year.
Under Tory plans, cheese credits will be cut and millions condemned to cheese welfare, according to the charity Cheese Concern.
Don’t risk our cheesy future – vote Labour.
I understand they have a project to mine cheese on the Moon. It’ll need an extra 2p on income tax. As a first step, they are staffing up OffCheese and have invited a consortium of consultants to prepare a feasibility study. Labour has promised that there will be absolutely definitely no cost over-runs, cross my heart and hope to die, and that the project can be delivered to its stakeholders in a realistic timeframe.
Going forward, there should be more cheese for everyone acoss the spectrum but the initial focus will be on low-income families under the Cheesability+ Programme.
“This will reduce our dependence on imported runny French cheese”, said a Downing Street source. “Some people like that kind of thing, but I Camembert it.”
This is indeed a paradigm shift for cheese production. Thank you Gordon.
I don’t like cheese
Look at what New Labour has achieved since 1997.
more students than ever = Why is that so good, half of them are semi literate/numerate, those wanting a traditional apprenticeship don’t get a look-in.
Child benefit at record levels = Highest teen birthrate in Europe.
Seats in the legislature bought and sold.
Households on benefits were no one has ever worked.
A goverment that takes bribes. (Ecclestone)
Financial meltdown due to poor regulation.
52% of MPs stealing from the public purse.
Betrayal = Lisbon treaty.
Our high representative in Europe, that no one ever elected to anything
A Prime minister who inherited the job
The most powerful man in government (Mandelson)- unelected
A government so far up America’s arse that we are no longer in any real sense a democracy
A government dominated by the Scotch mafia when they have their own bloody parliament to go to.
Materity pay = makes it most unwise for small business to employ women of child bearing age.
Devolution? Scotch parliament an affront to democracy
The first-ever Climate Change Act. = Really? Even if there were any truth in the climate change theory, who exactly would be prsecuted for contraveneing this act?
Minimum wage = Great idea, just how many successful prosecutions have there been for paying below the minimum wage?
A huge army of useless, jobs for the boys, Quangos
Illegal wars
A murdered weapons inspector
The trebling of aid = that’ll be good news for the Swiss bank accounts of African leaders.
I think we can all agree the Tories have come out worse off. No mate, you are all equally shite.
Crime down by a third. How would you know. There’s no point in reporting crime, Police do nothing.
record results in schools = exams so dumbed down as to be meaningless.
“Lets move on” Yes I am sure you like that. But it is not going to happen.
Hmmmm…. I think that just about sums it up. I am still going to vote Labour though. I just want to see them sort it out. Hahaha….
Sort it out?
You really think Gordon Brown if relected could sort anything out? You want five more years of the same?
I think there is something to be said for a period of no government at all, didn’t seem to do Belgium any harm.
Fantastic! How do you propose to pay for it? Oh, on credit I see, and when the bill comes in? Your logic is fantastic, can’t fault you
This is the Britain the redistributionists have built….The level of public and private sector debt amounts to 466% of GDP only slightly less than 471% debt to GDP ratio recorded by Japan. This is worse than the battered Greek economy.
13 years in the fool’s paradise and now the bill’s arrived.
Your crime figures down by a third
sure start at the cost of a whole generation of pensions
record results in schools my fucking goldfish could pass your shitty exams
more students that have to pay and incure debts and of course it keeps them off the unemployment figures
disability over 2 million claimants with fuck all wrong with them
devolution but not for the English
civil partnerships = publicity stunt
peace in northern ireland well done the tories it was their doing
500,000 children out of poverty there never was any children in poverty you just gave their bone idle parents more money for booze fags and drugs
paternity leave= another nail in the coffin of small buisness
child benefit at record levels wow you fucking muppet anyone can give away free money to try and buy votes

Labour ! Go back to your constituancies And Prepare For Oblivion !
No no no. Not oblivion. Vote for them. Make them sort it out!! Punish the guilty not the innocent.
Look at what New Labour has achieved since 1997.

And a bust nation having to print Monopoly money to stay afloat.
…buying in through the front door the money just exiting from the printing presses at the back door. Like baling out a ship using a tankard when the hole is football-sized.
The ban on cluster bombs?
What about banning cluster fucks?
72 = Satire at its best. Very funny. Do you do stand up?
You’ve just earned that extra reach-around.
Change We Choose..think you would be fielding bricks if you were to canvass in our area quoting this crap..fuckoff back to primary school …labour haven’t been building britain for anything other than their own great unwashed
No this is the Britain YOU and your Stalinist friends have been building, don’t blame us that the UK is now a complete basket case, it’s all your own work.
You think you are rying to pursuade the elctorate to vote for New Labour rather than Tory. Think on; I would not urinate on either of you. Chumps the lot of you.
I recently heard of a case where an accountant who embezzled about £50,000 from her employer got 18 months. That should set a reasonable tariff for MPs who have ganked similar amounts.
And another 18 months ‘cos of the position they hold . One of TRUST!!!!
Sir WW…..
No…
MPs are supposed to set an example..
They should get DOUBLE the sentence of ordinary people…
I’ve decided to suspend the sentences on the Labour MPs because they are devoutly religious, to the religion of New Labour Lets Me Scam Money.
Misfeasance in public office!

http://www.labourlist.org/old-college-friend-says-cameron-a-dry-as-dust-thatcherite
This devastating expose on Labourlist proves once and for all that the KKKonservatives haven’t changed one bit.
They are still the Nasty Party of Thatcher and Tebbit.
Cameron’s attempts to portray himself as the “heir to Blair” are untenable. He is no liberal progressive. He is a hardcore Thatcherite.
I and millions of others can never forget Thatcher. Her name is carved on the gravestone of our once-great manufacturing and mining communities, working classes, the poor and marginalized.
Her evil legacy must serve as a reminder and a warning: Never Again.
Vote Labour in 2010.

They are still the Incompetent Party of Brown, Blair, Kinnock, Balls, Harman, Prescott and Jacqui Smith.
Brown’s attempts to portray himself as a Prime Mnister who has the vaguest idea what the fuck he is doing are untenable. He is no Prime Minster, he is a ravi g twat.
I and millions of others can never forget Brown. His name is carved on the gravestone of our once-great manufacturing and mining communities, working classes, the poor and marginalized.
His evil legacy must serve as a reminder and a warning: Never Again.
Vote anything but Labour in 2010.
That certainly seems more in tune with the zeitgeist.
Some of us have shorter memories, pension destroyed, debt, war, laws, cctv, expenses, lies and damn lies, 50k slush funds, more lies, no more boom and bust, terror, cash for honours, back door donantions etc etc…..
Don’t mention the war. You did it once put I think you got away with it.
99 Virtually the whole of this country would give their right arms for a Margaret Thatcher to replace the caledonian dickhead currently ruining this country.
You are right on one thing except for a name change – Brown’s evil legacy will serve as a reminder of just what a pile of shite this government really is.
Vote Labour – and get five more years of Gordon Brown as PM.
Is that not what we all want??
Wanker, fuck off back to Labourlist.
Thatcher didn’t kill off our manufacturing base, the unions did.
Your recollection of history is about as vague as your command of economics and your management of an honest expenses system is not any better. I know we can’t vote you out my Lord of The Underpants World but your influence over our Great Country will be over soon. You are loosing in the polls so face it like a man, or what ever you are.
It was both “sides” that screwed up British manufacturing. We recently bought a piece of kit made by a black country company called Rubery Owen. While doing a bit of research on it, I found this Time article which sums it all up. By the way it’s from 1975, and so four years before MT got the reins.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,917833-2,00.html
And don’t forget to mention the Tories’ and Lib-Dems’ impeccable timing! In a desperate bid for popularity, they both chose Blair-alike leaders…just in time for the original to leave. Brilliant!
Leave? Bounced out by a heroic and brave leader! hic. (sorry). but not too pissed to vote Labour just to see their faces when they confront the hero’s legacy!
‘heir to Blair’… Jeeez that’s the last thing we want.
By the way ‘the change we choose’ have you forgotten to take your medication or are you just a wind-up troll?
Amen to that!
The vast majority of us actually value the things we share just as much, if not more so, than the things we own – like our communities, for instance. And the brilliant work done in the public sector falls into that category.
Obesity in children, for example, doesn’t happen because of any one single factor. More often than not, it’s a combination of issues.
So it follows that if we want to tackle it, we have to think about all those issues collectively and help people make healthy choices.
The best way of doing that is in valuing our shared goals just as much, if not more than, our individual ones.
Oh sod off. Obesity in kids is due to parents stuffing their faces with crap food and fizzy drinks and not walking further than the fridge. They can make a healthy choice themselves, every supermarket has fresh fruit and vegetables in your face as you walk in the door. If they are too lazy to cook them they are beyond help. Stop treating people like kids and maybe they will grow up and take responsibility for themselves.
Gordon Brown’s age of change….. got any change guv, spare change?
Vote labour in 2010 and we can bomb Iran back into the darkages and nick all their oil.You know it makes sense.The BBC can send 500 correspondents and we can eliminate all of our debt.Vote for the party that cares.
Cast-iron Dave a dry-as-dust Thatcherite? If only.
And bollocks to all that mining and industrial heritage guff. Anyone with anything about them got off their arses and made better lives for themselves long ago, and their kids certainly wouldn’t want to be doomed to a life working underground or in a blast furnace.
Dewch adre’ i dan go iawn – prynwch fwthyn yng Nghymru!
Come home to a real fire – buy a cottage in Wales!
Gosh I feel sooo much better… Carmeron’s a dry as dust Thatcherite. What’s not to like?
PS About the miners — any of these Labour listers ever been down a coal mine? If they had they’d be eternally grateful to Thatcher for removing their fellow humans from them — hot, dangerous and dirty places — older miners couldn’t believe their luck when the pits closed and they got their pay off. In China, the miners’ death rate is 2,000 a year.
spot on
thats the change we won’t choose…another five years of shit street and the mad great leader
I certainly will. I can’t wait to see your faces when you have to sort rather than f…it!

Unions had a big hand in bringing this country to it’s knees; the sheep followed.
It is now apparent we are uncompetitive in global markets – and no

Gordon Brown will face some tough questioning when he’s interviewed on TV by Piers Morgan later this month. Some of the questions have been leaked to the press:
Who do you like best, John or Edward?
Have you ever been in a Tanning Booth?
What books by Katie Price have you bought?
and what did you write down in that loned jotteri
Do you still have the acrtic monkeys on your ipod ?
What is your favourite biscuit ?
Is it your daily jogging routine that keeps you in such good shape?
No, Mr Brown, please put your Nokia away! Don’t be upset! I asked you what your daily jogging routine was, not your daily dogging routine!
Will you ever answer a question at pmq’s? ought to be his first question followed by “just exactly how much overall did your private fund amount to, allowing for topping up as disclosed by Watt? and what did it pay for?
Should John Terry play for Scotland?
How dare you!
FFS. Pravda already using that word “refuted”. If they could refute the feckin allegations, they wouldn’t be facing charges.
Be fair – not many people at the BBC have English as their first language, and those that do are fuckwits.

Now THAT’S what you call a great escape !!!
What’s really galling is they are trying to claim imunity through parliamentary privilege. Unbelievable, if they win that in court it could mean that MPs are free to break the law with impunity as far as fraud and theft goes.
These fooking troughers will go to any lengths to try to get away with it.
If parliamentary privilege holds sway, and it may well do, then they can be impeached and punished by parliament. Except they can’t because they won’t be MPs any longer.
Methinks they’ll get away with it.
I thought Jill Pay got rid of that!

so why are the theiving pikey bastards not being charged as well. It’s a Stalinist government, let’s have a show trial.
I fuckin’ ‘ate pikeys.
Let’s have a show execution instead.
That should make the bastards toe the line for a few weeks…
I got wood.
I got petrol and tyers.
I hire tumbrils and guillotines – good bulk discounts.
well, slap my arse and paint me surprised; neither Labourlist nor Labourhome has this as a lead story
Really? Perhaps they are too busy posting here?
BBC Breaking News Alert
show details 12:18 (1 hour ago)
MPs Elliot Morley, David Chaytor and Jim Devine and peer Lord Hanningfield are to be charged over expenses claims, the CPS announces.
For more details: http://www.bbcnews.com
It took them over an hour to get 22 words out. Must be something of a record!
[...] Four little piggy’s appear to be going to Court – although they think they have parliamentary privilege and should not be going to court. Three Labour MPs and one Conservative Peer could well end up in jail, and we hope they do. However it may not stop with these four as one is still under investigation and as Guido points out there may yet be further actions/complaints, see here: http://order-order.com/2010/02/05/the-defendants/ [...]
If/when these cases come to trial, good luck finding an impartial jury who will consider the cases solely on the facts presented…
Sorry had a bit of a liberal moment there. Hang the bastards!
So what does Queenie have to say about this? (Liz, not Mandybum)
Off with their heads!
SKRAWWWWKK!!! KEELHAUL THE LUBBERS!!! (cuttle)
What about Margaret Moran? How did she get away without prosecution? She was claiming for her boyfriend’s house on the south coast. Surely that is fraudulent? Or perhaps some MPs think it is OK to give taxpayers money to their lovers?
Iris Robinson is another culprit for similar reasons. They should both be in the dock. How is it supposed to instill trust in politics when all the fattest pigs are getting away with their crimes?
This will form part of the defence. Believe me.
Why me? Why not him/her?
I wish the PSNI will in their invetigation
I wonder how much tickets to be a member of the jury in one of these cases could be sold for. Probably be able to cover the full costs of the hearings.
Or even the Budget Deficit.
How d id that Uddin woman get away with it? If she hasn’t been embezzling us then I’m Gordon Brown.
I just hope the bitch gets a summons……….but doubt it ‘cos she’s black !
or a Mozzie even.
Oh no! Shes both! Oh well, scott-free then.
Another racist piece of shit. The CPS are still considering her file.
Fuck off back to BNP.org.
She hasn’t got away with it yet. The CPS is still continuing their investigations in one case. They haven’t said who it is, but Uddin seems a reasonable bet.
“I am absolutely astonished and devastated at the decision that has been taken today. Two new charges have been brought, both of which are easily explained and both of which I’ll be explaining in court.” Labour MP, Jim Devine
And went on to say “this should have been dealt with by the HOC”. Yeah, and just how many years in the slammer can the HOC sentence him to.
Even now, they still don’t get it.
I want my perp walk!
Waddle
What about Baronness Udders ?
Surely the ‘Flippers’ are just as bad why aren’t they being prosecuted. Gordon Brown not content with flipping and his ‘grace and favour houses’, went on to claim for the renovation of his Summer House. How can the Police ignore this intent?
Because the senior police officers want their knighthoods, would be my guess.
Because technically its tax evasion, and HMRC will have to bring charges.
And not a hope of that, as the appropiate Secretary of State will have to sanction it.
Give plod a chance, it must take time to paint all those coaches up in police colours! (Oh, if only.)
I’ve still never been able to understand why Brown had to claim for cleaning at a London flat. He had one home provided as Chancellor in Downing Street. He had one home in his constituency. So why the third home and why were we responsible for paying for cleaning it? Never been explained or even questioned as far as I can see.
Flipping ain’t illegal. You can do it!
Yes I’m sure it was the green ink letter from the Gobshite Centre that swung it.
It’s a start but don’t hold your breath.
All will cite the Nurembourg defence and error and omission with no intent of criminal gain.
Slaps on wrists and wont be able to stand for Parliament again but that won’t stop the continuance of a political career, with the cachet of an attempted conviction, brought about the typical dark forces of the right.
Bah humbug, wont believe anything until I see them banged up. Then perhaps MrBronson can be brought into play……………
I wonder if they’ll all claim their legal costs to defend the cases on expenses?
What happens to all the troughers who are not seeking to be re-elected? what happens to their second homes? Can they sell them and profit? I think we should make them sell their homes and the profit could be used for us to commmission a sculpture of a trough to be put in the gardens of number 10 .
Great idea! A sculpture of a trough with humanoid piggies slurping in it! Placed next to Oliver Cromwell’s statue outside the HOC as a permanent reminder of these happy times.
Heh heh.here’s a pound to start it off
Where’s baronessu in all of this? Wasn’t she mentioned? Isn’t she going to be charged?
Wait and see. The CPS are still considering whether to press charges in one case. They haven’t named who it is, but there has to be a reasonable chance that it’s the Baroness.
She claimed Isl.amic immunity! It worked!
Typical that the Labour troughers tried to claim parliamentary privilege, In other words, we’ve been caught but you can’t do anything because we’re MPs. Fuck off you lying thieving twats. You’re gonna do jail time and I hope a few old lags pick you out for their special friends.
I would have placed a million pound bet that Uddin would get clean away with it and suprise suprise!!! A winner.
Amazing, Uddin gets off!
In the ZaNuLiebor Multi cultural nighmare experiment where all advertisements etc etc have to show a good ethnic mix…..until…..watch the government film aimed at benefit cheats, these cheats are only ever white! Now there’s a suprise
Had a lovely afternoon. Opening another bott of merlot now!
The new replatment leader of Essex County Council for Lord Hanningfield is Kevin Bentley. He is an ex BBC presenter from Look East and currently runs a PR company in Colchester called Mosaic PR.
Bentley has a criminal record for drink driving from 2006 – A breath test gave a reading of 54 mcgs. The limit is 35. He was on his way to court.
http://www.gazette-news.co.uk/features/features/1909217.Drink_drive_conviction_taught_Kevin_humility/
Good information, now everyone needs to:
Click the Essex Council Bio page for him: http://www.colchester.gov.uk/Councillors_det.asp?id=41 then click the glum smily face where it asks how do you rate the information, then leave feedback that the site does not detail his criminal conviction and that we deserve to be told this.
In the current climate of thieves, cheats and outright criminals in what should be positions of trust, leave no opportunity to point out the error of their ways!
332, and your point would be???
By the way, he was on his way home. Not on his way to court.
Oh, that’s all right them, don’t get all tetchy and defensive just because he wears a blue rosette!
Cull the lot!
To That’s News – you sound like a right pillock
Why isn’t Baroness Uddin making it the famous five?
We haven’t had a peer like her since the Sheriff of Nottingham.
As stated above, she claimed Islamic Immunity, it worked!
I thought the CPS were still considering her case – is it confirmed now?
Still under consideration, moron. Go back to the Daily Mail.
Perhaps because another dodgy Black Baroness,Scotland,is the country’s chief law officer.Apart from the colour and gender little has changed since Norman times regarding baronic snouts in the public trough,and isn’t it ironic that the chief of them is called “Scotland”.Is this to take the piss out of the white English who are treated with such contempt by Brown and the other second rate Jocks at the heart of New Labour.Citizens of York where it’s still legal to shoot a Scotsman within the city walls with a longbow should take archery lessons and keep a lookout for the enemy within.
And because I’m snide and treacherous like MPs I’ve been sacked as England manager. Nobody loves me (well except Bridge’s ex).

It’s great, you just know they are troughers when you don’t have to Photoshop their pictures, as they alreay have nice big pink snouts
That photo with the altered noses to look like pigs – I would think that is likely to bias a jury and therefore is a contempt of court by Guido Fawkes.
I am so confident about this that I intend to write to the judge with full details when or if the trial commences.
Don’t bother taking the image down as I have already retained a copy and our (legal) firm has signed sworn affadavits that we saw it and as to the veracity of the evidence trail.
See you in court Mr Fawkes!
Signed
Various lawyers for the accused
they’re still guilty of theft from the taxpayer so see YOU in court
Dear Mr Anonymouse
You obviously cannot read, as above, the image has NOT been altered in anyway at all and shows the accused au naturale!
Can a flight to Guantanamo be organised for them?
Yes, throw the Goyim a handful of relative nonentities to sate their fickle appetite for rolling heads. How about prosecuting Brown for financial terrorism?
So at what point do they get their DNA taken like everyone else in the county?
Make sure to have Heather Brooke take out the E model of the F-15 and bomb, baby, bomb these MPs waste. Just blow some stuff up… now that’s NEWSBROOKE my Brit bros & siss

Interesting stuff, is Greg Wales in on it and scratcher too?
YES, BIG TIME.
THE RAGE
The parliamentary ruling mob
Have all enjoyed a cushy job
The taxes paid by you and me
Helped these scoundrels live for free
They tried to stop us finding out
What their expenses were about
Somehow they think that we are fools
By claiming, “It’s within the rules”
Such claims alas just will not wash,
They’ve lived like royals on our dosh
It’s not the dosh that we want back,
We want them ALL to get the sack
That’s not all, for we want more,
We want them in a court of law
Some of them it seems are frauds,
Both in the Commons and the Lords
Flipping homes to dodge the tax
Has got up the electorates backs
Porno films and cleaning moats
Is really sticking in our throats
Don’t think because they haven’t claimed
They’re innocent and can’t be blamed
Not speaking out what some were getting
Is simply aiding and abetting
Their secrets out they’ve lost control
We want them jailed or on the dole
Parliament’s no sacred cow.
BRING ON THE ELECTION NOW !!
Don’t let them all get off scott free

Perhaps MPs who make “silly” accounting errors should be given “silly” jail sentences.
Next time vote Silly…
(You Know It Makes Sense)
It’s good that they are being charged, but it is the wrong charges. The MP’s new that the claims were wrong, the fees office new that the claims were wrong, which means they conspired together.
the charges for all MP’s should be Conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud, Fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, negligent misstatement, breach of statutory duty, wilful default, wilful misconduct need I go on. Those who claim they did nothing wrong failed to report the others despite being under an obligation to do so.
Every single one of them is guilty. They should be sacked, all their assets siezed as proceeds of crime and jail time on a par with the Great Train Robbers, they did steal more money.

Having watched Chris Gurumurthy make a fool of Jim Devine’s childish and incoherent protestations of innocence on Channel 4 News – “Not down to me guv, this other guy told me it was ok to rob the bank” – one wonders how such a birdbrain could get elected in the first place.
Not happy. throwing my rattle out of pram.want them all carged.
The irony of this ‘Expenses’ Court case, is that the Tax-Payer will once more have to pick up the cost of it all. ‘They’ would only claim any Court Costs on Expenses wouldn’t they.
Also, unlike the UK Motorist, if they are found to be ‘Not Guilty’, THEY will not have tp pay their Court Costs, as does the Not-Guilty Motorist !
Justice indeed ?
More like Justice in-need !
Well said whoever you are !
Just about sums it up !
don’t you just love it when someone comes out and says “of course we’re lucky in Britain because thankfully corruption is very rare and most of our politicians are honest” may be its the establishment that’s corrupt

We will clean this lot out just as we did before !
Count me in, “Boyo”
[...] The Defendants Devine, Chaytor, Morley and Lord Hanningfield face multiple charges which could result in prison sentences. Guido [...] [...]
Where is Margaret Moran in all of this? Surely she is just as corrupt as the rest of them!!!
Bothered that Uddin hasn’t been charged? Then, you stupid moron, actually listen to the CPS announcement (instead of just react to the headlines like a rabbid sheep) and hear him say how one case remains under investigation. Then, see if you can guess which of the six names of those passed to the CPS have not been mentioned in the mainstream press. Put 2 and 2 together (if you are able to, that is) and hey presto: Uddin’s file is still being considered by the CPS.
Also, to those insisting Uddin be charged under Sharia law: why? I’ve read her speak out against it and for the rule of equality and modern western law.
Trust me, I’m no fan of politicians, especially New Labour, or People’s Peers, or Islam. But there are FAR too many sub-50 IQ morons and Daily Mail racist scum here…….
