Holier than Thou Liberals Slammed by Lyon
The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner has blown any idea that the Lib Dems were somehow above the fray of the expenses scandal right out of the water. In a serious knock to Clegg’s pious act, John Lyon declared that four Liberal Democrat MPs; Richard Younger-Ross, John Barrett, Sandra Gidley and Paul Holmes, were guilty of a “serious misjudgment” concerning dodgy rent agreements in the exclusive MPs dormitory block at Dolphin Square. There is tumbleweed blowing through Liberal Democrat Voice.
Guido imagines some leaflets might need reprinting, luckily the Lib Dems have a way of dealing with that on the cheap…
Jail them all
We’re all waiting for the smug git Huhne with wonderfully pressed trousers to STFU together.
I read the Privilege and Standards Committed watered down Lyon’s criticism of Menzies and another. I think it is a joke that MPs form the Standards and Privilege Committee, let’s have a few ordinary lay people on the committee, not having a vested interest, not taking or giving money to any party, related, or have any other interest in the lying underhand scheming bastards. I would love to be part of that committee.
The Libs might have forgot other jokers like Swinson, Brown, Heath to name three who made the most of their expenses.
Then again, McSlug said he was going to sort out parliament, and he also recently claimed he would not let us down- I believe him………
And Jail all the Lords too then Nuke the site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.
…..er…If you’ve jailed all the Lords, They won’t be there when you drop the bucket of sunshine. Waste of munitions.
Good lad Guido, keep attacking the Lib Dems because they are a real threat to us.
Cheque’s in the post and Ashcroft says hello!
Watch your mouth or ’tis you who will get a good hiding sunshine.
Nuke the Jail.
‘kin A!
They mostly come at night, mostly.
uaf uaf
FU FU
Call the Police,
Why aren’t the Police looking into this? It seems very clear to me that they took a BUNG to allow their landlord to fleece the taxpayer – nice.
Nick Clegg should sack then immediately.
This looks on the face of it quite a deliberate fraud, certainly up there with the others that have attracted the attentions of PC Plod so far.
So much for the Lib-Dums being whiter than white in all this, turns out they are equally good candidates for lamp post and piano wire after all…
The Lib Dems are as white as new improved Purcell. Now available in tabs!
So why aren’t plod looking into the Unite donations of our taxpayers money to support the New Labour crooks? Is that not also fraud?
PC Plod unfortunately does not understand the law of false accounting, he understands Jacqui Smith put him in power to lead the Met and does not want to end up sacked like Ian Blair. Policy decision not to prosecute; only a few to keep the Jo Public convinced that these issues are being investigated. Pa! Some hope the Telegraph will name the three hundred or so MPs before polling day to remind people not to vote for a thief.
This is fucking outrageous. It’s fraud with a capital F, and they haven’t even been asked to pay all the money back! Only half, or even a quarter! They deliberately, and with malice aforethought, agreed to fuck the taxpayer up the arse in order to get a cash sum, and they haven’t even been investigated by the police, or arrested.
They should be arrested and sent to gaol, do not pass go and certainly do not collect £64,000. Scum scum scum. And these – apparently – are the clean ones…
don’t know about whiter/holier/clean – but theres always worse:
“In stark contrast, nearly a year later, Labour and Conservative MPs who accepted the offer from the Dolphin Square landlord have neither referred themselves nor been referred by their parties.”
So. Which other MPs live there?
I don’t care what colour rosette they wear, if they defraud the taxpayer in a deliberate manner, as these guys have, then they should be dealt with as a common criminal, stripped of their position and sent to prison. The shit these people have been up to in the last few years has left me with no faith in ANY political party, indeed, I no longer have faith in anyone who wishes to gain power, or in the system itself.
Out of interest, I wonder if the landlord of that building has been visited by the old bill? He’s clearly corrupt and it appears he (or she) instigated this fraud, and needs to be tried accordingly.
Oh don’t you love expenses. Its a bit like the magic beer glass in the joke, but its a never ending bucket of shit.
We’ve been so busy watching each other rob the taxpayer
It works like this, I want 22k per year for my flats, you pay me 40k I give you receipts to claim it back and we split the difference and get 9k a piece – Kushtie
Fucking lib-dongs, always so fucking smug.
Bunch of fucking nobodies.
I hope UKIP scare the shit out of them AND labour at the GE.
I hope nasty Nick gets in and scares the shit out of them all. Not that I want to see a B-N-P government or even like the scumbags but it would put the frighteners on them all and make them less weary to take us for granted.
If Nick gets in they will go to jail for a very long time.
Neither necessary nor desirable to have a B.N.P. govt to scare them. It requires the police to investigate,the C.P.S. to prosecute & the courts to severely punish those found guilty.
This would deal with the present load of thieving troughers & send a strong message to any future ones.
Lord Justice Denning’s words “be you ever so high you are not above the law”.
You need to catch on. Plod is not going to investigate all the MPs there are far too many. Policy decision to limit it to three/four. Their interpretation of fals accounting does not fit with everyone eleses. Met Commissioner wants to keep his job after watching Blair get the boot. he is not going to bite the hand that feeds him.
Don’t worry the BBC thinks it is all fine and Gordon will save the world.
Death to the political parties. The country would be sop much better without arsehole Tories, Labour or Liberals.
Make our representatives directly accountable to us – under threat of the order of the boot should they ever step out of line.
I’m sick of the lot of them……….
the auto boot or the revolver boot
That’s right, spread disaffection with opposition parties. Good man, we love it when you do that.
After the election, Gordon will stroll back in to number 10 through the back door, and we can continue to govern as if nothing has happened. We’ll change the voting system to make it more “democratic” and remove the possibility of horrid opposition parties ever again getting into power, and we’ll come down hard on evil minor parties like UKIP and the Greens. Independents won’t stand a chance either.
The sun will shine forever and Gordon’s glorious rule will never come to an end. Oh happy days!
Little Nicky only got his job at the top because of his connections in the EU
The dims and Lab need exposing ,by Dave and Co, as the undemocratic ,opportunists shits they really are.The twats voted that in any further treaties ie that arise from Europe that we are not to be allowed any referendum.This will REALLY REALLY REALLY pissoff Joe Public and Dave must make sure the voters are made aware of this.This could be worth a point or two when the votes are counted and Dave would by very silly indeed not to take advantage of this.
I just can’t cope any more with so much shit.
The sewers must be enlarged.
Amen brother hope this cheers you up
THIS IS SO FUNNY . YOU MUST VIEW IT AND PASS IT ON TO YOUR MP.
LABOURS DOUBLE WHAMMY
NO PLANES, NO TRAINS
… and with petrol prices being what they are, soon there’ll be no automobiles
Is the plot of “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” basically about being stuck with a fat leech?
Said the fat leech.
How’s the Blog going Tat?
Better than your insolvent business TaT would probably answer if he were here.
Dear Anymouse. You’ve lost the plot. UNITE cancelled the strike last time so that they could co-ordinate the threat with the RTW for just before the GE. They’ll ramp up the tension, so that their political office, aka the Brown Cabinet, can claim that the Dear Leader Saved the World in the Nick of Time. The MSM will fall fot it like a load of limp lettuces they are. The plot is more unbelievable than ” An Inconvenient Truth” but when you’re out of ideas and the Opposition is refusing to give you any policies to steal, what is the average leftie charlatan in the Bunker supposed to do?
WE’LL SEE
Rail strike threat over Easter
Britain is facing a national rail strike at Easter after signallers voted to walk out in a dispute over rosters.
PLANES ON STRIKE
DEREK HATTON BACK ON THE TV
DEJA VU?
They never went away, you know.
The come in here, eat all our biscuits, drink all our tea and piss off leaving us to do the washing up.
They’re not coming here again.

DEJA VU??
Just like the 70s all over again.
Just to remind you of something you wont be seeing much of this Easter, or for the whole year if RMT and Unite have their way.
Sit back and enjoy.
“Serious misjudgement” presumably being politician speak for “flagrant fraud”?
Oh Dear! Yet more thieving scum to lose their seats in 48 days’ time
“Off with their heads!”
You sound more like thick as thieves by the day, Steve.
What? Do you disagree that the fiddlers should all be voted out?
Read then post Steve, that is normally the best way.
You sound more and more like thick as thieves with every post.
Ps. TaT’s views are clear – thick as thieves, the clue is in the name.
DOH!
The bloke living above the chippy has more influence on British politics than Cleggy. The de facto leader Vince must be ordering the curtains at Lib Dem headshed for 7 May.
Hopefully this will be what the ousted MPs are saying…
Q. Is voting stupid?
A. Look at the result!!!
What fools voted this lot in?
Posing the question what fools will vote the next lot in?
Yep voting is stupid! . . . . .
Ho Ho Ho, Political parties in this country are irrelevant, only 22% of the population are likely to vote because of their disgust with Westminster.
So just remember when these so called informed political Opinion Polls quote percentages they are only quoting a fractional percentile of 22%
88% are likely to vote to give politicians “the boot”
Spin that fucker!
The 10% left over represents postal vote fiddling!
I would be suprised if it was 22% more like 40%
Good point Reevo.
I really cannot understand why anyone ever considers voting for the Lib Dems in a GE.
Nobody ever has a clue what they really mean to say or stand for, and I’ve tried on many occasions to fathom their message, but still don’t see what they’re here for!
I have to conclude that they all like to be the standard answer for the ‘don’t knows’ who wander into voting stations, stare at the voting paper for several minutes, remember that Tories are rich, and Labour are useless wasters, and tick the remaining name which has a vague connection with the news.

“serious misjudgment”
In any other walk of life it would be called Serious CRIME.
scumbags
Is this the Limp Dem party conference ?
Don’t suppose the BBC will run this 24/7 like they did ashcroft.
Of course not – why would they, if it would hurt their beloved Labour party?
Can’t see the Beeb running with anything but the BA strike tonight.
Walsh 1, Unite 0.
First “Lord” Rennard fiddling his “secodn” home
Then this lot
Since you can fit the Limp Dems in a telephone booth, that about all their members isn’t it ?
Apart from Boys Band Clegg…
that will do nicely
Hung parliament? Who wants to held to ransom by a bunch of wet Liberals?
robbing wet
Sandal wearing, robbing wet.
Sandals with wet socks!
wet socks and dirty toe gaps
soft gits.
If it wasn’t for those meddling kids we’d have got away with it.
strike at BA to go ahead
The spring of discontent? More like the spring of shit storm coming. Unite and fall.
Mrs.Dale has a good pictorial comment on the subject:
http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2010/03/labours-double-whammy.html
LABOUR’S DOUBLE WHAMMY: NO TRAINS, NO PLANES.
printed and going up in bus stop when I go out later
Let’s have a General Strike rather than a General Election
Or BROWN OUT
its going to be a damp squib. like dipping a couple of firecrackers in a turd.
Gordon’s paymasters are going ahead to trash BA, the travelling public and the UK economy.
Who’s Nick Clegg?
get ready for one minute to midnight Gordon
That picture of Cleggy. I can’t help thinking he is on the ‘vinegar strokes’ That is fine but I just wonder who took it?
Nah. he’s just never forgiven his mum for forbidding him from buying any sex pistols records.
“LDV Towers” – isn’t LDV the bankrupt (or nearly so) van manufacturer???
ahh good vans them pull a truck out of a ditch with em
who gains
How much money do the Rail Unions give ZanuLabour ?
Perhaps we should ask Lard Arse Prescott. He is sponsored by RMT.
we could find out if we were allowed to
Who is going to report the other MPs to the Commission? This is clearly much wider than the Lib Dems mentioned.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8576304.stm
Vote Clegg, get
BrownUnite Union.Well done for correcting your error dirty rat.
Clegg has already said he will not work with Gordon Brown so that means Labour will have to ditch Brown if they lose their majority.
That in turn means Whelan will get the FO tablet as well so your second comment is also wrong. Can’t you get anything right?
liblabgreenkipcon
and con is con as in rip off
We are moving towards the Civil War that Whelan wants
If anyone thinks Clegg will ever be a King Maker
They should join his Boys Band…
I will eat the little bugger for breakfast…
O/T – Fucking Unite tossers. The thick sheep twats they’re leading derserve to lose their jobs. They can’t see that they’re being gamed by the congenital attention-seeking commie-Hunt Tony Woodley. They are destroying the company – hope they rot in the dole queue.
They won’t even get their pensions at this rate…
BA has a £3.6 BILLION pension fund deficit…
Without unions there would be:
no thirty nine hour week
no paid holidays
no paid sick leave
no benefits at all
We’d still be shackled in virtual slavery. So fuck off and have a look at some history. Unions get things wrong and they get things right–unlike you, evidently.
true.Look back at the history of politics and the history of unions and politics is the darkest
Are yo delusional like your Leader ?
Or still in the 19 the century ??!
Go and march with your banner, you twat.
“Look at some history”
That’s exactly what it is, history. Let’s all go back to the 70s and see how you enjoy that. You were probably in nappies at the time but it was a Socialist government and unions destroying the country and bringing it to it’s knees. Ring any bells?
I used to live in London and go to a school that involved two trains and a bus to get to. Every winter the train drivers came out on strike or worked to rule (essentially the same thing as it completely fucked up the trains).
Occasionally the bus drivers went on strike but WTF, I could walk the mile and a half.
The striking train drivers in the sixties are still vivid in my memory and are why I will never ever vote Labour.
I won’t vote Green, either, having seen Caroline Wossname on QT last night. I’d never vote Limp Dim (Leftie idiots) or UKIP (barking mad).
Fuck off you idiotic half wit. Without unions you’d still be picking shit for tuppence an hour 365 days of the week. You’d have no holiday pay, no sick pay, nothing. A partisan hoon like you simply can’t acknowledge that though. Unions have never been close to wrecking this country. Bollocks like that is propaganda swallowed whole but cretins who lack any kind of perspective or knowledge. You may or may not like unions but it is a fact that without them I shudder to think how people would be treated.
Unions have never been close to wrecking this country
the union (denoted as ∪) of a collection of sets is the set of all distinct elements in the collection.
So in this instance anonymous is correct
Fuck off you idiotic half wit
Sums it all up for me. Socialism, Unions = bully tactics. Seen it, been there and survived which I suspect is more than you have. Grow up, wake up and smell the shit.
I think everybody would agree that the unions in the early part of the 20th century were necessary.People lived in abject poverty and were treated very badly by the management.However as I was growing up in the 60s industrial disputes/strikes were just union t………..rs flexing their muscles.I remember the strikes along the Thames corridor in the early 60s.Many of my neighbours worked at Ford’s in Dagenham.These men had well paid jobs, changed their cars every year,yet they still went on strike. (Now look at Dagenham). British Road Services went on strike in 1967 so I could not get my trunk sent to college.There were strikes in Liverpool in the late 60s,the seamen’s strike of 1970,the energy strikes of the early 70s,the three day week.Further strikes, then the WINTER OF DISCONTENT.I had to wait for up to three hours to get home in two foot of snow (how I cried with the cold).Then further RMT strikes in the early 80s when it was taking me two hours to get home after working a 12 hour day.Then the seamen’s strike in 1984 which affected the project I was working on big time (it cost my company millions in lost revenue as the project was late).Then the miner’s strike and on and on and on. Most of these strikes were totally unnecessary. I went into industry in 1975 and I well remember the three day week was still having an effect on British industry.By about 1980 most of the materials had to be purchased abroad as British companies had gone to the wall. In particular there were projects I was working on in the late 70s where the site fabrication yards went on strike .These guys were being paid an absolute fortune.Yet the union called them out over minor disputes.Soon after the sites were closed and the work was sent abroad. I had no sympathy whatsoever with these people losing their jobs.As far as I am concerned serves them right. Unions are there for the benefit of the union officials,nobody else. They have enriched themselves beyond even their wildest dreams. They are absolute b……..ds.
As for the BA cabin crew,they are greedy greedy people. I mean it’s not as if you have to be highly intelligent to give out a few meals.drink and flog a few bottles of perfume.They are overpaid glorified serving staff,that’s all.
Unions have their place, but militant activism such as we are seeing here from
UniteDivide is in nobody’s interest.BA lost over a million pounds a day last year – faced with a massive recession and competition with a lower cost-base, they have no choice but to reform the whole business or go to the wall. Pilots and engineers have already negotiated reductions, only the best paid CC in the country choose to walk out.
Any strike only works if there is public sympathy – and there is no fucking sympathy for these overpaid waitresses disrupting business and holiday plans for millions in the middle of a recession…
Any sympathy for the lying and cheating bankers who eart twenty times as much or more than BA staff? What about the 54 British billionaires who pay no tax whatsoever in caring, sharing Britain. Get your priorities right and think for yourself for once.
The airline is hemorraging money due to changes in the way people want to fly. Low cost airlines pay low cost wages, B.A. pays all of it’s staff far more than any other airline in the world. It can’t go on. The management have a plan to reduce costs, the unions don’t like it, they have no choice and certainly have no idea how to run an airline.
The cuts will happen, the union will end up with less members, B.A. will merge with Iberia and use it’s cabin crew who are on low wages.
The unions have nothing to lose except members and they don’t give a damn about B.A. cabin crew because they are private sector workers.
BA lost over a million pounds a day last year
Yeah, and how much did they pay their “chief executive,” the same man who presided over such a loss? Why he got 735K, followed by a six per cent increase and a large improvement in pension contribution too.
So people have to lose jobs while this hoon gets a pay rise, while his company is losing money hand over fist. And you fools wonder why there is a strike? You must be out of your fucking minds if you think this kind of shit is acceptable.
In the year to February 2009, Virgin Atlantic carried 5.77 million passengers and made an annual profit of £68.4 million on turnover of £2,580 million
What is this word profit?
You can’t treat the working man this way! One day, we’ll form a union and get the fair and equitable treatment we deserve! Then we’ll go too far, and get corrupt and shiftless, and the Japanese will eat us alive!
Everyone is missing the point on the BA strikes. The reason Unite are giving it the large one is because the unions have only really concentrated on protecting their members who work in the public sector for the last decade, they haven’t given a toss about private sector workers and so they are giving it the large one through the BA strike that they represent private sector workers too.
It’s just a scam really to cover up how useless the unions have been in protecting private sector workers, it’s a big sham. BA are going down the tubes because of the recession and because people want cheaper flights and have gone to lower cost airlines to get better value. Who needs to spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds on short haul flights that you may only be on for an hour or two?
BA has priced itself out of the market, it is a flawed business model on its current scale of operations. If the unions keep pushing BA will go bust but the unions won’t keep pushing because as I have already said the only reason they are making such a song and dance about this strike is to offset the unions historic imbalance of representing the public sector members at the cost of private sector workers.
It is public sector union spin, that’s all.
What a load of laughable shit. You must have been incorrectly weaned as a child.
Two sugars please Charlie.
Yep, what with that and some billionaire called Ashcroft, who loves Britain so much he won’t pay taxes, and some charlatan calling himself “Lord” Paul avoiding taxes and trying to influence things. The whole thing is rotten to the core. That the British cling to this slime beggars belief.
The winner does certainly take it all. At 735k per year the only winner is Willie Walsh–and he get’s a pay rise every year even when the company is losing one million per day.
Wikipedia says he worked for nothing in July 2009 and has a link to a bbc news site which says nothing of the sort.
The big question is did he get his chicks for free?
You see brothers…
I have move Unite/Labour from TRIBAL MODE
into SUICIDE MODE
So have I !
Hee hee
Well done
First Rail Strike for 17 years…

You could make it up, actually. Please refrain from using empty cliches.
And talking of “honest intentions” – what of Ms Dorries, Guido?
Yes, Nadine, as she is known here, is very honest. That’s right that is.
Get the horse and cart out.
No trains, planes or automobiles this spring.
In 1926 anyone who wanted to could drive a train.
Duh…. Nadine has nominated as her main home a cottage in the Cotswolds 90 miles from Westminster and appears to have nowhere to live when in London. She reckons the Torygraph has it in for her. WRONG …. everyone has it in for cheating criminal troughers.
I’d forgive her if she turned up naked in my bedroom with a bottle of baby oil though.
QWERTY.
Is it OK with you if she brings me along to watch?
No, get your own Tory bitch
Jeez, you need therapy.

So all the time they were being sanctimonious about expenses it turns out their own were no better? Imagine how embarrassing that would be.
There is the small matter of the donation the Fibby Dumb Dumbs took from an on the run criminal and their refusal to hand the money back! Benefiting from the proceeds of crime as opposed to just benefiting from the proceeds of exaggerated expense claims!
