+ + + Troughing Labour MPs Plead Not Guilty + + +


UPDATE : The trial date has been set for Devine, Morley and Chaytor – March 30, Southwark Crown Court. Predictably they tried to plead parliamentary privilege  to Horseferry Magistrates and even refused at first to get in the dock. Their lawyers told the court that the case infringed upon the separation of powers.  Desperate.

They are trying to claim it is a matter of principle and an affront to parliament, which is why they don’t think they should be in the dock. They have been charged with offences under the Theft Act, not matters of political principle or constitutional importance.  They just don’t get it do they. They are being charged for criminal acts, not political activities.

          From TPUC…

          Looks like a larf!

          “I received an email from some very nice people at 38degrees.org.uk. They are a left wing campaign group running a campaign to steal even more of our money to give to the liars and propaganda monsters at the BBC.

          Well they kindly provide a link to fill in a comment form to send to the BBC.

          It is supposed to be begging them to NOT make any cuts, A soppy message saying “we love you BBC please steal even MORE of our money to keep lying to us”, but they helpfully leave it editable, so you can actually fill it in congratulating the BBC on their decisions to make cuts and to implore them to go even further.

          I had fun doing that just now.

          Here is the URL:
          http://www.38degrees.org.uk/email-the-BBC-Trust

          Fill in the form telling the BBC to continue cutting, stop lying and to scrap itself.

          Spread the word …”

            Cannot believe it just listening to BBC Radio 5 Richard Bacon, I turned on by mistake, and he is talking to an Actor Sam West who plays Skilling.

            They are lauding being left wing, and lauding the communist party, as they were the true fighters of communism.

            Subject: I disagree with your Strategic Review – you must go further

            Message: Dear BBC Trust,

            I am writing to respond to the consultation about the Strategic Review recently published by the Trust. I urge you to proceed with your plans to make cuts to the BBC. The current proposals would get rid of some lame services, including BBC News.

            Please proceed with the current plans to make these cuts and find alternative ways to make sure the BBC can continue to do what it does best in the future.

            Yours,

            Good call BBC Reform !

            Here’s my helpful message :-

            Dear BBC Trust,

            Congratulations on making the decision to cut these radio stations that nobody listens to, it’s frankly about time the BBC stopped wasting our licence fee tax on this type of rubbish.

            My only concern is that it goes nowhere near far enough. Please follow it up by selling off or abolishing Radio 1, 2 & 3, BBC 1, 3, & 4 AND BBC World or whatever it’s called. While you are at it, please sack the bald bloke who is the DG and the army of paper shufflers ( their titles are incomprehensible so I can’t name them ) and of course the Trust itself. ( Of course it is only a matter of time before David Cameron does it for you but if you could do it before, this would also prevent needless waste of the licence tax )

            The BBC is an affront to the freedom of this country and is no more than a cheerleader for the labour party so it will not be needed after 6th May anyway, so anything you could do to hasten it’s demise would be much appreciated by hard-pressed tax payers.

            Impartial ? Don’t make us laugh.

            Enjoy it while you can and then enjoy your comfortable retirement on us !

            The clock’s ticking.

            Yours sincerely,

          • Susie says:

            Dear BBC Trust,

            I am writing to respond to the consultation about the Strategic Review recently published by the Trust. I urge you to continue with your plans to make cuts to the BBC. The current proposals would get rid of some rather poor services, including 6Music, Asian Network and many BBC websites.

            Please go ahead with the current plans to make these cuts and find yet more cost-saving measures.

            The licence fee is exorbitant, and as far as I can see it is being wasted on vanity projects, and overpaid, untalented presenters.

            Yours,

            DNTT

          • backwoodsman says:

            Dear BBC Trust,

            I am writing to respond to the consultation about the Strategic Review recently published by the Trust. I am astounded that you have not chosen to address the isssue of left wing bias at the bbc, which is clearly the issue which is of greatest concern to many of the public. The pro nulab bias with which your news staff and journalists present every issue, is a disgrace and can only be compared to old style Soviet propaganda.

            Please don’t go ahead with the current plans to make these token cuts . Wholesale reform of the bbc is required and you, being tainted by association, are clearly not the people to deliver it. However , as an interim step, you should ensure that the biased-bbc website is immediately and prominently linked into the bbc website and you should cease to censor comments from the public posted in response to reports on the site.

            Yours,

          • rick says:

            Done, with extreme pleasure.

          • NotaSheep says:

            Dear BBC Trust,

            I am writing to respond to the consultation about the Strategic Review recently published by the Trust. I urge you not to continue with your plans to make just the limited cuts that you have so far proposed.

            I would suggest that you cut the BBC radio back to Radio 3 and Radio 4 as all other stations duplicate what the private sector radio provide.

            In addition I would suggest that you close all BBC TV channels as there seems to be no programming that I could not find elsewhere for free (at point of use).

            The BBC website offers nothing that I could not find elsewhere, albeit it is presented from an almost uniquely left-wing point of view, so please close it down.

            If you make the cuts that I suggest you will be able to reduce the BBC Licence Fee by a huge amount which will please those of us who resent paying to fund left-wing propaganda.

            Yours,

            Did you know … there are loads of ‘no-go’ areas in Britain for the BBC.

            BBC scum are hated as liars, thieves, and regarded as propagandists and stooges, for criminal gangs and terrorist governments.

            BBC filth have to travel in unmarked vehicles and pretend to be ‘freelance’, otherwise they would be spontaneously attacked by ordinary people, who hate the BBC and would give BBC filth a good kicking.

            BBC workers should be regarded as terrorist assets and considered legitimate targets.

            “I believe that the BBC is a great national institution. I am proud of the BBC. I think that most British people think that we are very lucky to have a BBC and most people who aren’t British, if they don’t have a BBC, wish they did have one.”

            “I don’t see the BBC as a State broadcaster. “I think people see the BBC as operating at arms length from the government and it’s very important that it should continue to do so and that’s why we’ve said we will protect the BBC charter.”

          The Keen’s have also been fngered.

          They were accused of “a serious misjudgement” by standards commissioner John Lyon. He added that they had effectively “received a personal financial benefit” – something that was “not in accordance” with expenses rules.

          The Committee found they were victims of “bad luck”, had suffered “difficult circumstances beyond their control” and there was no evidence they had intended to “procure for themselves a personal benefit”.

          Some inconsistencies here, surely?

        We want Gordon in the dock, perhaps we all ought to lobby that nice bias Mr Lyons to explain Guido’s point why McSlug claims expenses for a second home. I thought Sarah Slug got caught by the Fees Office for claiming Noah blinds for their flat? She later changed it to blinds- did Mr and Mrs McSlug take the blinds to No10 or leave them for the tenants? Do they pay tax on their rental income? I also want to know whether Jacqui Smith’s sister paid tax on the rental income from the former Home Slugretary, the same for McNulty’s parents. Any Gudo fan from the HM Revenue could provide a little help to promote this?

It would probably be the safest place to hide, after all, the plod apparently never knew when the former Home Secretary was stying there. Obviously, the cop`s never need to know where their boss is, in case of anything serious cropping up.

      Jim Devine, Elliot Morley and David Chaytor, all suspended by the Labour Party, said they would plead not guilty of theft by false accounting.

      All three MPs were released on unconditional bail and will appear at Southwark Crown Court on March 30.

      Suspended Tory peer Lord Hanningfield is also due at Westminster magistrates court to deny the charges against him. ”

Also many of them have no right to vote in the UK.I am sick of all this PC nonsense which unfortunately is creeping into the RIO as well

      No such thing as an ethnic minority in countries, thats just left speak to make people surrender their own powers, Black and Chinese people are the biggest races in the world, Whites are one of the smallest. If ethnic minorities really existed as a concept and was not some left wing hypocritical gobbledygook then we would now classify as it on a global scale.

      The rate the world is changing we will be like the native Americans by the middle of the century, a tiny number of whites shoved off into the corner on some reservation.

          I don't think so says:

          That is nonsense. Modern racism was unknown until identified in the 1920′s

          The Romans, like other peoples to this day, were intensely tribal in their thinking. read Virgil and the attitude to ‘Greeklings’.

          A Gaulish couple, and a Greek couple sacrificed to avert plague.

          The Cretans are liars, the Greeks are duplicitous, the Orientals are effete, the Germans are barbaric, the Gauls are drunkards, the Goths are lechers..

          When the Roman plantations expanded into ever more marginal lands, numerous displaced African farmers tried to cultivate the semi-desert. These in turn pushed the pastoralists to the borders of the Sahara, where their hungry animals stripped the desert’s edge. Abdallah Laroui feels that the bulk of the North African Maghreb’s population was “renomadized,” in “an involuntary return to proto-history.” The Roman walls against the nomads were “not so much a boundary of civilization as a … frontier between the dispossessed, who were thrust out into the desert, and the needed workers, who were enslaved and crushed with taxes.”

          The Romans passed laws forbidding citizens to dress like ‘barbarians’ (sumptuary laws)

          The revisionism to suit a multi-culti world really is misleading.

          A few exotics buried at legionary stations in ‘Britannia’ left not a blip on the population who rapidly reverted to ‘Celticism in Art and Culture in the 5th Century. The majority did not even speak Latin in Britain.

          • Rome: Happily multicultural, forget it. says:

            After the conquest of Egypt by Octavian (later the Emperor Augustus) in 30BC, the Romans introduced a system of social hierarchy that revolved around ethnicity and place of residence. Other than Roman citizens, a Greek citizen of one of the Greek cities had the highest status, and a rural Egyptian would be in the lowest class. In between those classes was the metropolite, who was almost certainly of Hellenic origin. Gaining citizenship and moving up in ranks was very difficult and there were not many available options for ascendancy.

          • Carry On Don't Lose Your Head (1967) says:

            Yes, but in Roman times race wasn’t delineated via skin colour. It was legion, locale, talent, wealth and force of arms. Kinda like the Nazis gone wrong.

          • Rome: Happily multicultural, forget it. says:

            Class consciousness was fierce in Rome. It depended on ancestry in legitimate line going back three, even five generations within the class. The future Emperor Augustus himself had difficulties with a great grandfather who just missed the definition-

            Legally, socially and culturally Rome was not a relaxed place..and there is that question of slavery.

            Hollywood Rome a’ la Gladiator presents a politically correct late 20th Century narrative, ie a modern myth.

            The Romans recruited auxiliaries from subject peoples, or outside the empire, and deliberately posted them in other territories to prevent fraternisation. ie don’t arm the provincials. Troops from elsewhere would not be likely to conspire with locals. Marriage was forbidden (but brothels provided).

      A member of parliament cannot be subject to “vexatious arrest” while going about parliamentary business but they are fair game when not doing so. It is ridiculous to think that everything they do is parliamentary business.

        The whole of the armed forces are Tory according to Labour that’s why they don’t bother to equip them properly and probably why in 2005 thousands were dis-enfranchised due to the change in the electoral registration(which nobody bothered to tell the troops about.The jobsworths in government were adamant it was the troops fault anyway(I think we’ve heard that excuse used by the PM at Chilcot have we not ?) as they blamed the army for not finding out themselves the onus being on them to do so Ed Note They were a bit busy in Iraq trying to stay alive with the “duff” equipment they were supplied with at the time I think you’ll find to register to vote which previously had always been done automatically for them)

    O/T But anyone else begining to worry about a givernment inspired attack before the election? I was listening to Talksport this afternoon (I know but somebody has to listen) and I was quite shocked that almost every advert break there was an advert to call a special hotline number if you are suspicious of anyone colleagues, family members, neighbours who have acted strangley, they cite, someone buying Airline tickets with cash, renting Garages on the pre-text of having to much of mothers junk to keep around the house, colleagues loooking at the internet on goodgle maps at buildings, shopping centres , railway stations.

    They gave out an o9800 number.

    SO I rang it and said I had spotted what I thought was a financial terrorist incident. I was asked t speak slowly and make my comments which will be recorded and action will take place without giving my name or terelphone number away. They then repeated my telephone number, my address andasked if I was Mr xxx After confiorming I was that person they said make my report after the beep.

    I said I suspected a Mr Brown of Westminster had been funding terrorists through several money laundering scams, using a government programme to stop Muslim extremism and was paying money to India and Pakistan to avoid any reprisals here and also to ensure the goods and services he had sent to those places were purchased.

    They said thank you and will call me back if they need further information. Beep.

    We are all fucking Stasi now!

      One of the ads mentions not talking much to your neighbours (tick), paying cash for everything (tick) and keeping the curtains permanently closed (tick). That’s apparently suspicious, is it?

      My curtains are closed because the street is infested with junkie scum, I pay cash for everything because what I buy is my business and not the bank’s or the states, and I’m a fucking misanthrope so don’t talk much to anyone, OK?

      Now if there was a clear line of sight to Mr Brown, I’d happily pull the trigger, but assasination is not terrorism, OK?

    Didnt want to get in the dock ? unbelieveable .

    CW was slightly aghast at the figures being bandied about for high speed rail , as it seems Labour have mysteriously forgot to mention how much a ticket will cost from either Birmingham or manchester >while lord Adonis was being a little over, in the lines its a once in a lifetime oppertunity , its also a once a lifetime oppertunity to blow a load of money , whilst the rest of the network falls into lower investment. The journey nodes on UK railways are unlike france fairly short , therby trains stop start , brake and accelorate , add in the all stations journeys/frieght and real express journeys become a diagramattic problem . It would be better if any of us that use the train could just have a comfortable seated journey .

    Cw appreciates that the victorian network has its drawbacks , but its construction is done and paid for , so not really sure how come they say that faster will have ecnomic benefits , you can work on the train after all . Cw thinks there are other solutions and is a little unsure if Labour really understand railway economics and route diagrams ,rather than expensive champagne ribbon cutting ceromonies . I mean how come so many people want to travell expensively to London , there wont be daily commute in large enough numbers !

      I thought their response was frankly pitiful, and a clear dereliction of duty to protect people and property. It surely wasn’t beyond their albeit limited capability to stake out the place for a few hours and then grab the perpetrators? Would that have been so difficult, after 20 years of torment suffered by the victim? Wasn’t this the least he was entitled to?

      Stamp on the low-level, anti-social crime and you send the right message to the yobs who think they can rule the streets and are untouchable.

      It just makes me sick. No one will resign, least of all the waste of space who calls himself a Chief Constable. Time-serving and self-serving, these people have no idea what we pay them for. Will the local police committee rock the boat?

    Other than that, full marks for showing how unprincipled, dishonest and corrupt these parasites upon our society are.
