Troughing Tory Peer Plea Due
The second Tory peer charged with fiddling his expenses is due to enter his plea this morning at the Old Bailey. Paul White, the one time leader of Essex County Council said the claims for overnight stays in London, despite written evidence that he had travelled back to Essex, were in “good faith”. Like his fellow Tory Lord Taylor, Hanningfield is expected to plead not guilty, so we will have to see what twelve honest men say about that…
UPDATE: Hanningfield was a no show, no plea entered. Trial in May at Southwark. Oink oink…
Hang the fucker!!!!
BTW, I’m doing to destroy this blog with my gay super powers.
You might like to learn English first.
That’s Billy’s trademark you fuckwit.
Piss off Billy.
Glad to see that some insensitive bastard is getting some sleep through all this mayhem.
Hanging too good for these thieves. Boil ‘em in oil…
Have you seen the Pr*ce of a barrell lately?
I’ll sort the job, cheap!
And for the record I don’t think the UFO is crashing. There have been many cases of UFOs deliberately entering deep sea water.
It’s ok – we didn’t think it was a UFO crashing, if you see what I mean.
What did you think it was?
Eric Pickles
What’s the government not telling us?
THIS IS WAR! There are 2 types of UFOS. Evil and Holy. The ? is, which type is coming for you? Now that jets are rushing after UFO’S trust me, WAR IS NOW BEGINNING BETWEEN UFO’S AND MANKIND. Listen, no such thing as man being greater than these UFO’s. No way! The beast is inside the earth coming forth at any moment now. UFO INVASION . ORG
The unbeliever doesn’t stand a chance! The True and Living GOD is now reclaiming HIS WORLD!!
Well I’m convinced, thanks.
What a penis. For what – a few quid, not like he needed it. Ho hum – fuck him.
BBC to put extreme leftist in charge of question time: http://journalofjournalism.blogspot.com/2011/03/biased-bbc-to-appoint-left-wing.html
No change there, then.
sorry Guido, Shouldnt it be 12 honest people , Harriet might call you sexsist
Should be ‘twelve good men and true’. Not quite the same as honest – ask Ken Dodd.
Cameron thinks he is governing the country in good faith. He’s a wanker too.
Screw the EU ®
It strikes me that they haven’t been prosecuting anything but the most watertight cases. (which of course makes all sorts of people round here whinge about the lack of MPs being done).
There comes a point when it possibly isn’t worth it. There need to be enough convictions to encourage some personal responsibility in the others, but not so many that the cost of all the investigations and trials becomes disproportionate.
Probably a majority of MPs have sinned, some a little bit, some quite outrageously. It seems that Lords have been atit as well, don’t know how widespread the problem is in the upper house. If all the sinners were prosecuted, it could cost far more millions than they troughed. However, there must be sufficient deterrence effect from the investigations and prosecutions to concentrate their minds. They are supposed to be serving the taxpayers, not ripping them off for every penny.
Oops. That should read, ‘…the Lords have been at it…”, (though in some cases, the original might be thought to be accurate enough).
Isn’t it all rather sad that increasingly those whom we have supported and believed in over the years are increasingly being shown to have been feathering their own nests. As a Labour Party member it came as a matter of much unhappiness that members of my own party (and MPs at that) should have abused the system. I can only imagine the level of anger and distress those activists in the Tory party feel today about ojne of their own appearing in court.
The sad part is that the ordinary ‘Joe’ or ‘Jill’ in both the Tories and Labour (and of course the Lib Dems too) give many hours of their time and their hard earned cash to support candidates. The least we can expect from them is honesty and appropriate behaviour.
For the sake of the activists who worked so hard to get White elected, I hope he is found not guilty. But if the reverse happens, then it is important not to paint all activists with the same brush.
Labour (and the left) are far more corrupt and immoral than anybody else. Made worse by the sanctimonious way they try to deny it. Fact.
Without facts to support your analysis I think my original argument stands – that essentially all the parties (including Labour) have a lot to answer for. But this should not detract that within each political grouping there are still many who are idealists, honest and truly believe tyhe philosophy within their organisation.
Its quite strange how all the bright people in parliment made “Mistakes” filling out a expenses form ……
Its theft from the taxpayer,They knew what they were doing , If they didnt then they should complain to the private school that educated them. If i steal any amount from my firm i bexpect to get sacked , So many Politicons got away with theft.
Using your work computer to post comments is also theft Billy. Owned!!!
Shouldn’t that be Jack and Jill?
Round my way Jack and Jill is slang for Pills ………
says the crackhead…
Stop it Billy! The Arabs have all the air power they need. If they want a no fly zone let them sort it out.
Fuck off out of other people’s business you utter utter twat.
Agreed. Let the Arab League sort this out. The French are very keen on a no-fly zone so it’s clearly a bad idea.
+ 1
It’s in the Arab League’s back yard. It has NOTHING to do with us.
If Hague commits UK forces to the region he will make himself even more unpopular than he already is.
The West have been involving themselves in Middle Eastern conflicts for centuries, do you honestly think it’s gonna stop now?
Just because something has been done for centuries doesn’t make it the right course of action. With positions of power comes the responsibility to learn from history.
Yeah, the history is we’ve heard it all before.
Of late, the trend is for the indigenous population of the Middle East to show their gratitude to the West for introducing liberty and democracy by greeting our soldiers with suicide bombers.
Let’s just break the trend by steering well clear.
What a lovely idea, I’m sure no one in the Foreign Office has thought of it before.
Like in Palestine you mean ?..we took it from the turks in 1918…promised both the arabs separate kingdoms and the jews a homeland…normal FCO policy of course i.e. play one faction off against the other…and then we fucked off 30 years later leaving the present mess……..at least the Germans have got the right idea…they learnt the lesson last time they were in Leeb-ya under Rommel..they have no desire to reform the Afrika Corps unlike “Dave” who is itching to re-fight the Battle for Tobruk
The French are very keen providing they don’t have to do the actual patrolling it you mean ?
All we need to send is a gun boat, it’s worked before.
We already have – HMS Cumberland. The Chinese have sent one, too. Not sure what that one’s called.
You have one Chinese gunboat, and before long you fancy another.
Actually, all this has kicked off a bit early.
Can we ask them to wait until the new white elephants (sorry, aircraft carriers we don’t need and can’t afford but also can’t cancel – thanks Gordon) are ready, er scrub that – they won’t have any planes.
The French will supply the planes for our carriers instead….I thought that was “Dave’s” Cunning Plan..
Presumably it’s not out of the question for the man to be tried before guilt is assumed?
Trougher or not, he’s entitled to justice regardless of what any eccentric umpire thinks.
Yeah rough justice, a shotgun up the arse!
The Labour confrance has finished?
I’ll be right over.
Can’t you contact one of your flunkeys in the HoC ? There’s raw sewage crossing the road over and underground between Portcullis House and the Palace of Westminster every day.
She’s been troughing too much and maxing out her food allowances. Alternatively she’s just full of shit. Probably both.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.
Shouldn’t you be at work dealing with your constituents letters?
She may not realise that sewage drains are sealed (as opposed to surface water drains).
It’s not very often a ‘raw sewage’ drain fails and results in discharge onto the surface.
I think she’s being over-dramatic, as per usual.
How do you “help a road”, anyway? Presumably some Labour non-job.
God what a self obsessed whore!!!!!
Google it you arrogant bitch. Took me 30 seconds:
Email Martin Baggs
chief.executive@thameswater.co.uk
Or do you want him to stop running the business just to resolve your minor problem?
Do you know who I am?
You’re not only full of shit, you’re also full of self-importance. Get over yourself.
Tory cuts have caused raw sewage to flow down all the streets of Engurland.
That was because Thatcher failed to spend enough Taxpayers’ money on infrastructure in the 1980′s
Unlike the cunning jape that the BBC thought of….getting dog owners to get their dogs to shit in the street you mean ?

I have just seen Mark and Rich’s offering
What absolute shit. Badly drawn, hoorendous colours and not remotely funny
Stella Creasy takes it up the jaxi
Ex LSE…they turn out some shit, don’t they?
Essex County Council also set up their own bank.
I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Lock ‘im up a throw the key in the Thames.
