+ + + Breaking: Lord Taylor Charged with False Accounting + + +

Troughing Tory peer Lord Taylor of Warwick has been charged for claiming expenses in relation to a house he didn’t own.

Having been brought down by a blogger he’s now on his own, out of the party and in the dock. He’s accused of fiddling the second home allowance by claiming to have spent six years living at the former home of his dead mother.

          Prison?

          Here’s hoping, but somehow I get a feeling all of the troughers will walk with slapped wrists, or token 6 month sentences.
          Now if it had been an ordinary citizen in the same circumstances, they would be looking at years inside if convicted.

            Pay and perks of a member of the House of Lords – around £41,000, plus subsidised booze

            Annual cost of keeping somebody in prison – £41,000 plus free methadone

            This is not going to save us any money.

        Lord Taylor has asked around to see if any of the chaps can give him an endorsement. Well, we are at the same club..

    Did anyone notice that the Coalition has silently dropped the promised review of the Smoking Ban, which was due in 2010 ? See Business Questions yesterday.

    That’s disgraceful, especially after Nick Clegg offered to repeal any unnecessary laws which fitted set criteria, all of which the evil Smoking Ban fits exactly.

    Time to start kicking them for lying and deceit.

      Fascists don’t approve of smokers, they never have done.

      In case you hadn’t noticed, they are all statist fascists, nosey meddling kunts who think they have a mandate to engineer the way people live.

      Today it’s smokers

          I quite enjoy being able to go and have a quiet pint and not end up with my clothes stinking of other people’s effluent.
          People are perfectly entitled to do as they choose, but I’m entitled to a life without having to breathe other people’s stale smoke. For chronic asthmatics, that matters.
          In this instance, I agree with Clean Air Act. The smoking ban (banned in public places – I would not be in favour of banning it in people’s homes) has improved life for many of us. Pubs, sadly, are suffering decline anyway, possibly because many people have less disposable income, and because it’s cheaper to buy it in the superm*rkets.

          • UK Debt Slave says:

            The reason why NuFascist banned smoking in pubs was NOT to protect non-smokers

            It was much more about killing the pub trade. They don’t want people in pubs communicating with eachother. They want you in your home where you do less harm, watching 200 channels of shit television and being exposed to corporate advertising.

            If you think politicians devised the smoking ban in your interests you are very naive

            It’s much more about destroying any sense of community by destroying pub culture and any social interaction that might pose a threat to the corporate fascist state.

            They knew the smoking ban would smash the pub trade

            That’s why they did it.

            As I’m quite old, I remember going to the pictures
            where you could just about see the film on the
            screen through the smoke.
            I suppose it should bother me,but it doesn’t.
            Nor drinking, swearing, shouting, bellowing, farting,
            running, speeding, driving slowly, owning land
            owning things, owning dogs, which the
            left have always seemed to want to ban.
            So no bans please. Thank you so much

            Is a pub a public space

          • Engineer says:

            I seem to recall that it wasn’t aimed at pubs, it was aimed at workplaces. It just so happens that pubs are some people’s workplaces.
            If you’ve ever worked in an office where a proportion of those present smoke, you know how vile it is for the non-smokers that can’t escape it. Good employers had instituted voluntary smoking bans, but now we can all get on with it in clean air.

          • Boris's Barber says:

            Never have smoked myself but respect the right of others to smoke if they want, the ban does not seem to have put off young people from smoking despite the cost and the health issues.
            The smoking ban is just the tip of the iceberg in the governments attempts to control people, we will have attempts to ban dinking and certain types of food soon, is it the governments job to play god.

        Ironically all the thick kunts above moaning about smoking on one hand will wring their hands about the pension and pensioner crisis on the other.

        Joined up thinking?

        Alien concept to some of the kunts on this blog.

        If someone wants to remove themselves from the genepool at an early age by puffing on cancer sticks while simultaneously propping up the NHS and other services with the huge amount of tax they pay for the pleasure of killing themselves then fine with me.

        Passive smoking harmful? You breathe more harmful shit walking down a busy road, you breathe more harmful shit day in and day out living next to a road or planes passing over your house, what you think your windows protect you?

    I asked John M Taylor a question once at a public meeting. It was at the time when the Government was flogging off frequencies for those mobile phone contraptions to work on. I asked him how the Government could sell bits of the electromagnetic spectrum when they hadn’t created it. Naturally he answered a different question but it did seem a cheek at the time – like taxing air.
