+ + + Piggin’ Wiggin Is Under Investigation + + +

Bill Wiggin’s feline survival skills are being pushed to the absolute limit. The Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards has confirmed that he has opened an inquiry in to the Tory whip and a dodgy £5,000 invoice paid to his local Conservative Association. Wiggin might come to regret his rather rushed confession that the invoice may have said the £5,000 was for absurdly expensive room hire, but was in fact for a whole swathe of other work. In other words, a false invoice. Where are the records of this other work? The receipts? The nod from the fees office? John Lyon has his work cut out with this one…

    Do these bastards ever actually pay for anything out of their own money?

      No. That’s why they’re MP’s.

      No, that’s why they are all so totally out of touch with economic reality, everything is provided for them by Nanny otherwise known as the fees office.

        The Fees office was institutionally corrupt says:

        The Fees office over the past few years have been a fucking disgrace in the mismanagement of the public purse and downright complicity in the expenses fiasco.
        Has anyone been sacked for this ?
        There is a clear case for criminal investigations for misconduct in public office and conspiracy to defraud on the part of those charged with the responsibility of ensuring that expenses were paid in accordance with the clear and unambiguous rules laid out by statute.

        Oh but an MP would have shouted at me and mad me cry appears to be their pathetic defence.

      They have no ‘own money’ it is all your money. I am interested in a little fraud I suspect all these troughsnouts indulge in. It is the TV TAX, I believe they charge it to expenses and then claim it as deductable expenses out of tax liability. Any one got any ideas how this can be resolved, short of Wakileaks?

      To Westminster Crime Syndicate’s query. No, not a lot. In the last report on Wiggin’s expenses it was highlighted we were also paying his wife’s phone bill too. The rub there was she runs her own business from home & the report stated how surprised the commission were she did not have a separate land-line. In Wiggin’s constituency town of Leominster the mayor is a Tory cllr & has refused to publicly withdraw his support for Wiggin, despite my asking him to do so to his face & through the local press. I will never understand the mentality of those who will slavishly follow in the shadow of a man like Wiggin for the sake of party loyalty.

    Why stick to the troughers in the Lower House?

    There’s old Kinnockio in the Upper Choirboy part, ultra-convert to AV….sitting on 30,000 fucking share in DRS – the biggest vote-counting company in the sector – and of which he’s been a non-Exec since 2005.

    FPTP = 1 vote, AV = 2+ votes….RESULT!

    The gravy-train continues….Eurocrat oinking, 2000-2005, British Council oinking 2005-2009, DRS oinking 2005 -to the present day.

    He remains a self-confessed ginger player of the pink windbag…

      The Kinnocks always seem to be on top of things like this.

      Pity we cant do them for using insider information to further their own ends.

      Britain yes, British establisment no says:

      The closer you look at the whole British establishment, the more sickening it all becomes, riddled as it is with cronyism, corruption, lies, deceit, greed and naked self interest at every level.

      What a contemptible bunch they all are, and what a misfortune it is for us to be lumbered with them like a millstone around our necks.

      Why should it? It was a lot smellier last time but Blinky’s well-developed non-stick coating saved his bacon. In the MP troughing stakes this is pretty small beer – although I would be the first to rejoice if they can skewer these odious creeps of course.

      Talking of posh Tories, can you explain with your usual insight, how Hogg (of moat fame), can be unfit to go to the upper house, but prescott ( of shagging secretaries working for him, in the office / hitting people / sundry other excesses) , is fit ?
      Clearly another quango that Cameron now regrets not having the balls to clear out on day one.

    Today I want to tell you who I am, what I believe and how we are going to do the most important thing we have to do – win back the trust of the country.

    We all of us share a deep conviction which brought us into this party and into this hall.

    But each of us has our own individual story.

    And I want to tell you about mine.

    When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother, what shall I be? Will I be famous, will I be rich? Here’s what she said to me:

    “You’ll be a snooty socialist parasite like the rest of the family and like it.”

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
