Sadiq Khan Facing Met Fraud Investigation
This morning’s Times is reporting that the Met are considering an investigation into the Transport Minister for a very dodgy receipt. Khan had his expenses claim rejected for birthday cards after the Fees Office told him in no uncertain terms that his claim was against the rules.
Khan’s printing company Public Impact, run by former Labour Party staffers, then sent another invoice which Khan submitted to the Fees office. Crucially this one did not identify the bill was for greetings cards, the Fees Office coughed up for it the following month.
This goes beyond sleaze and is borderline fraud, over to you Scotland Yard…
This is a clear case of fraud.
Send him down.
If a member of the public had attempted to pull this trick on HMRC, what would be the result?
I assume your question to be rhetorical Engineer, but, if it is not, the answer is HMRC will deal with parliamentary fraudsters in a far more lenient fashion than a member of the public.This course of action only applies if they can’t find an excuse to take no action.
Following on from 19 it should be noted that the times report states that the Met Police
are “considering” an investigation. Looks like the chances of any action from anywhere is very unlikely.
The police are Labour’s little helpers. They belong to us.
As Star Trek told us the eugenics wars were fought and those that were the leaders thereof were sent into space where they would hopefully do no harm.
the UK has recently got a space agency.
How long before the “islamophobia” card is played. Or he isn’t charged in case it upsets the muslim community.
Funny how Baroness Uddin wasn’t charged when the Tory Lord who had done the same scam – and to a lesser degree – was. One would think she was receiving special treatment – shurely shome mistake? I wonder who made the decision. hmm.
Our bruffah Keir Inshallah Innit Starmer QC that’s who.
A visit from a couple of HMRC’s finest instigating an in depth analysis of your tax affairs for the last seven years. Would cause you at least 6 months of grief trying to prove what every credit to your bank account was for. You would probably have to hire a tax lawyer at great expense. Your business and personal life would be ground into the dust. And then the inspectors would retire on their gilt-edged pension paid for by you. Apart from that, nothing much. After all, we must be fair to all those people who need your taxes to support their lifestyle. It is the right thing to do………
I’ve mentioned this before on Guido’s blogs, but it bears repeating. The wife of a friend under-reported her income for ’08-09 by 42 pence. That’s forty-two whole pennies. She and her husband have been given the forensic treatment by the blood-suckers from the Revenue. The cost to them has been incalculable. It has cost the lady her health and put their relationship under strain. I wonder what it has/will cost the Revenue to claim their microgram of flesh?
This was obviously an inadvertent oversight by Sadiq. Anyone seen where I parked my car? Blah. Blah. Can’t say more as trying to push through legislation without anybody having a look at it first.
Look, it’s the mans culture and religion-3rd world style.These people think nothing about lying to non Muslims-only when they get caught do we get effusive apologies and tears-tears for themselves that is for getting caught.
Don’t be surprised when we see this sort of dishonest beahaviour.
Quite right! In whichever occupation, social or economic circumstance where money is obtainable through fraud, blatant lying, deceit, acting ignorant of the law or using the obligatory race card, this ethnic grouping are front of the queue every time. Get them out. Now!!!!
Including Shahid Malik who is predicting a wholly Moslem British parliament while lining his pockets in the present infidel one.
but will he be deported at the end of his sentence?
Put him in the Khan.
Only if it faces East.
don`t worry the minute the thieving Hunt is nicked he`ll pull the race card out his sleeve nuff said he is pure SCUM end off
Khan of worms.
Yes we Khan.
No Khan do.
Those who can do.Those who Khan steal.
Looks like money Khan buy you happiness.
Thieving Khant
Then you khan watch women in bourkhas doing the Khan Khan.
No we Kahnt
Khan is a sleazeball and my former MP. He claimed for enough printer ink to fill a swimming pool. He also paid enough for it to buy a swimming pool. Don’t tell me that was all in the line of constituency business.
Any of his bruvvas run a print shop by chance?
I’ve only looked through his expenses for 2005/06 & during that year he claimed reimbursement for between 6 & 12 toner cartridges, some (or all?) enough to print 9,000 pages each. That sounds a lot for one person to use but how big was his office staff?
I’m less impressed with the £250/month petty cash claims in 2005/06 – since Khan reclaimed travel, phone, stationery, printing, computer software, office machinery & room booking expenses (amongst others), what else COULD he legitimately spend money on?
What a Muslim MP caught committing fraud – shome mishtake shurely??
It must all be a wicked Islamophobic plot.
It’s almost certainly down to Ashcroft
Either that or you’ve all been deceived.
It started in America.
I took the right decisions.
I am doomed. Please help me.
lend me youe ears
Its a completely rascist allegation without foundation.Khan, Malik and their ilk are the pillars of society.
How dare one cast aspertions!
Pillocks of society.
they were xmas cards for my muslim friends your honour
I am positive that after the election victory he will be cleared of all charges
Take them down!!!
…my thoughts entirely!
You have got to hand it to him though this is top notch troughing. If at first you don’t suceed in robbing the public purse try try again!
completely in line with Labour policy to extract as much cash from the tax payer as possible, well done Sadiq
He sent me an email begging for re-election in which he makes the interesting claim to have done 10,000 bits of casework in his five years as an MP. I wonder if he counts sending birthday cards to constituents with stolen money as casework? I mean, he can’t have made 10,000 separate visits to Woodhill nick, can he? Got to make the numbers up somehow.
10000 in five years = 2000 per year = about 6 per day with no days off. He’d have no time left for any other parliamentary business or ministerial duties.
Sounds like a little porky-pie to me.
And of course you need to set aside adequate time for thieving and fraud. What a vile turd.
Thats probably is the figure required to tie in with his expenses claims. He’s not daft you see.
10,000 postal votes filled in on behalf of relatives?
Or just 10,000 birthday cards?
I think we should be told…
He’s full of shit…
Just received a letter from Mike Hancock Lib Dem MP for Portsmouth south on House Of Commons headed note paper in a House Of Commons headed envelope.They;r nicking the stationary as they leave; nice one Mike.His leaving comment so long and thanks for all the money…..
I think this is clearly a racist hate campaign against me. I’ve done nothing wrong.
What was it Jonah said the other day? He wants to restore trust and transparency in politics? He believes in the importance of telling the truth? What a dreadful man. This entire government belongs in prison.
Transparency means you can see through it. We saw through our politicians years ago so I can’t see how transparency needs to be restored.
Whats Transparency ?
It’s transparent if you can’t see it when you look at it. In fact, you don’t even know if you are looking at it, because it’s transparent, you see. Or you don’t, or something, Fuck it, where was I?
I think in Gordooms world he means slightly opaque.
I have never heard of this c*nt. Does he open the bowling for Pakistan?
isn’t he the same person as shahid malik?
they have both proved to be little thieving piggies
He might have, but someone stole the ball.
Not pointing any fingers, but…
Following it’s continual drubbing of Cameron for not wearing a cycling helmet yesterday, is the BBC blanket-covering this rather more important story as Headline News?
He’ll get away with it, they all do.
But woe betide anyone of us normal plebs who are suspected of downloading copyrighted material.
One rule for them, another for us.
This epitomises the superior holier than thou we know what’s best for you, do as I say but not as I do attitude of this crooked bunch of chancers who have run the Country for the past 11 years.
With this mob we have had the worst Home Secretary in history, the worse Defence Secretary in history the weakest Foreign Secretary in History and of course two Prime Ministers who would rather lie than tell the truth, All of whom have spent their way to the biggest deficiet in our history.
And thats their success’s .
Worst Home Secretary for years. Not true we’ve had several under this shower. Remember Blunket !
Don’t forget the worst chancellor in history.
Juliet,
Congratulations, beautiful letter.
Second attempt !
Great letter Juliet, congratulations.
Third attempt, what’s going on ? censors at work ?
Just to say thanks to Sunlight, superb letter to the Plod.
They will probably find their name on a banned list now the Mandelweasel bill has passed.Cant have sites that openly criticise politicians…..
It was reassuring to note that only a 1/3 could be bothered to vote at all where were the rest at ???

He will get away with it just because he is a Muslim.
Positive discrimination put this twat into his job, and it’ll keep him there.
Until May 6th, anyway.
Not so sure anything will change less him after the 6th May frankly.
Now there ticking about things that look like Mosques in Catterick on the ranges and demanding there removed. I guess that will add a few more votes to the BNP.
Good job currently we don’t have PR which makes the smaller parties dip out.
Was aginst it before but not now after the troughers robbing us blind and the lack of a real immigaration policy and Europe policy from the Tory boys then PR the way ahead.
Cardboard cutouts – well then use the real fuckers in Bradford, Burnley, Luton…………add your own favourite here.
Guido, what is ‘border-line’ about this fraud?
According to The Times, ‘John Lyon, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, said, “He [Khan] has pointed out that he was a new Member of Parliament at the time and that all of his staff were new.”‘
Awww, bless! The new MP didn’t know that fraud was illegal. That’s OK then.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article7063316.ece
I tried that defence when the Old Bill got me for possession years ago. I said I was very nice to the drugs scene and didn’t know whether I was coming or going.
‘new to the drugs scene’ that is. I’m still practicing.
practising?
I’m Doctor Cato.
Is he preparing his defence that it was his staffs fault with this comment ?
Big boys made me do it.
It is high time Lyon was removed; he’s just useless. I was going to ask who’s side is he on, but I think we all know the answer to that one.
Khan is a two faced sh*t. He pretended to defend local post offices against closure and then voted in favour of the closure programme in Parliament. In his election material, he is claiming to be honest – let the courts decide!
He has simply followed the same rules as all ministers do,claim, lie , lie ,claim and lie again.
Guilty as charged ….
So did his fiddly twin – Shady Malik. They all look the same you know.
While you’re about it just include the entire street where he lives, all relatives you know.
What a waste of time and money
they are trying to prosecute him for a couple of Quid when 75% of them got away with thousands
is it coz im black ?
This is completely unfair – he was sending birthday to Lady Scotland who was going through a very difficult period. I mean time.
Sadiq Khan is an obnoxious person who has no place in politics. Frankly, nothing this man does would surprise me in the slightest. His behaviour during the recent expenses scandal was completely disgraceful. I cannot believe that Gordon Brown would entertain such a man as a minister, but in saying that I guess he and Sadiq Khan are well suited, both possessing such wonderful bullying traits.
I just hope that on election day, this detestable man will be looking for a new job, along with Gordon Brown!
Let’s hope the Metropolitan police are finally able to send another case to the CPS.
think you’re getting confused with Shahid Malik, another Labour muslim MP who was one of the worst expenses claimers.
Malik, Kahn, one just like the other, and there are millions more besides.
Their book of holy writ says its perfectly acceptable to rip off the infidel, that is course is all dem wh(i)ties what’s been here since before Adam met Eve.
“Sadiq Khan is an obnoxious person who has no place in politics.”
Whuich is why he felt completely at home in the ranks of NuLiebour.
Not guilty by reason of insanity!
Oops. Another fire for Labour to put out!
Isn’t telling pork pies forbidden in Islam,or is it just eating them?
Within theQur’an t is quite acceptable for a Muslim to take from or lie to a Kafir. So that’s alright then.
He’ll get away with by the ubiquitous playing of the race card. it always works in this limp-wristed country. Khan is a crook but the police won’t dare to take it much further and the idiot voters will probably vote him back in and he’ll resume his arroganance once the election is over.
Unfortunately his constituency is overwhelmingly peopled by like-minded voters.
The race card didn’t work with that top cop a few weeks ago – sorry, I’ve forgotten his name already. Someone has to be chucked to the wolves.
The BBC are not interested in real sleaze unless it involves a Tory. The TOP story on Radio 5 is some fat dyke who left the Tories 18 months ago who is now upset about Chris Grayling. The BBC really are pathetic.
… as is the fat dyke let it be said.
Boom! Boom!
I’ll scream and scream until I make you all sick!
When he is repatriated he will be a ‘sad ik’ and if he was born here he bears us ill will and must be despatched to somewhere more suited to his corruptive influence.
Who cares where?
Just seen a snippet on the BBC news that the military are using mock-up mosques to practise firing at on their shooting ranges. That should stir up some trouble. LOL!
Are they firing mosquets?
You could try that joke on ‘Just a minaret’ Colonel, begging your pardon sir.
Thanks.It might get a burst of Khaned laughter.
The trouble has started immediately.the Bradford Council of Mosques have complained and the Ministry of Defence has started belly grovelling apologies.Shows who’s boss.
Come on now, he can’t be charged, he is Labour. The SFO are only interested in Conservatives. You should know by now that whatever Labour do, be it illegal, sleazy, immoral or just plain incompetence, it is for our own good and they are only taking their deserved dues. how can they be accused of putting forward policies to soak the rich ? After 13 years in government they ARE rich.
It’s obvious his second ‘printing bill’ wasn’t for birthday cards – he’s got the contract to pre-print the crosses on all the Postal Ballots for West Yorkshire, Luton, the West Midlands and selected London constituencies, and this was the invoice for it.
‘Wholly and exclusively’ in connection with his Parliamentary duties ? Yes, so there’s no case there.
So wash your minds out, all you folk who thought he was a towel-headed crook…….just like his big mate ‘Commander’ Ali Desaei……..
Are all his staff non kaffirs too? Where’s the Apache gun ship when you need it.
I’ve go one…
Or rather “I’ve got one…”
Any chance of getting Reuters to interview him?
That should guarantee a visit from a neighbourhood Apache.
New from the Illiberal Times.
There is some confirmation that President Zuma of South Africa has asked Mr Gordon Brown , the UK’s Prime Minister, to allow Mr Julius Malema, the ANC Youth Leader, to come to Britain for 3 months from the end of April to mentor Brown’s immigration ministers, civil servants, and UK’s London youth, on how to govern and behave in a modern democratic country.
President Zuma considers the answer urgent as the World Cup is near, and while the UK election will be on Mr Brown’s mind, he believes he could learn a lot from Mr Malema in forming an efficient Brownshirt movement.
Mr Brown is considering the proposal, and will set up a quango to research it as well as discuss it with his advisors in the closet cabinet and the BBC.
Mr Malema is an accomplished singer of ‘protest’ songs too – perhaps he could join Peter Hain on the stump?
I’m quite sure that someone recently convicted in the SA courts of ‘hate speech’ will be a great asset to New Liebour.
This odious crook will not be charged because he is needed by the establishment to give the appearance of islamic representation at Westminster, the fact that he is as bent as a nine bob note helps the establishment control him.
The Westminster bubble just loves its pet minorities which they can parade around in front of the immigrant community as if to say you too can become part of the establishment, this is obviously a great big lie because the establishemnt elite have their scam nicely staffed thankyou!
Why do you think so many of these token pakis are crooked boot filling scum?
You can bet that the number of crooked minority politicians is far more than the average even in a crooked scumbags heaven like Westminster.
Remember that the first requirement that the establishment has when thinking of taking on a pet paki is, how bent is this person.
Like much of civil society now Khan is simply a bought off stooge who will dance when he has his strings pulled and will get nicely paid for doing it, we now live in a kind of 70s East Germany.
So Khan is one of Brown’s brownskins.They don’t need the matching shirts so beloved of 30′s Germany.
“The Westminster bubble just loves its pet minorities which they can parade around ”
This goes for lardarse pie gob, the working class traitor, too.
If anyone can can can Khan can can can but can Khan can can in the can?
F****** FOREIGNERS! Miliband, Khan, Lord Ali, Lord Shir Khan, Ali baba, crooked Policemen, the entire immigration debacle is reason to sort Labour out forever and NOW look!!!
Sadiq Khan is a thieving little shit.
Falsifying an expenses claim in the real world would result in summary dismissal for gross misconduct. Pay would stop there and then and the miscreant would be unceremoniously removed from the building.
In this case the standards committee will do what they usually do, wring their hands, smack his wrist gently and tell him to say sorry to an empty house.
It makes me wonder why any of these bastards think they deserve my vote…
Just checked to see how authoritarian my MP is & its claimed 6 out of a hundred, trouble is the measures he DID vote for were the worst a bad bunch. The bills should be rated so that they responses show a true rating
he is my MP and he helped to get rid of my old MP Tom cox using dubious methods. I will not be voting for him. He has been canvassing the muslim vote in this area but if you are white and have lived here for 20 years no card from him. He was only selected to get the muslim vote in tooting
