Judge Orders Balls to Pay Bad Debt

Court Papers Ed Balls Bad Debts

Click to Enlarge
The master of deficit denial did not turn up to court today to defend himself against accusations over unpaid rent and damage to his Normanton constituency office. The judge has ordered him to get his cheque-book out.  Now about that other debt he ran up…

UPDATE: Judge orders Balls to pay debts of £1,095 plus expenses. Balls used an expensive London firm of solicitors so who knows how high it could be, perhaps thousands. Legal source says “he could so easily have settled at lower cost if he wasn’t so belligerent”. Guido hopes the taxpayer isn’t going to suffer because of his pig-headed stubbornness..

            I think Oxbridge should stop PPE courses with immediate effect, clearly those who participate do not have a clue about economics.

            Perhaps the course should be replaced with Posh and Beck’s studies. What about MPs giving themselves a 25% pension increase.

      Balls probably did a cost-benefit analysis before going to court…unfortunately it cost him and benefited the lawyers.

      As someone who challenges everything myself when I feel I’m in the right I feel a degree of empathy for him.

      I don’t see how he can put it on expenses or make us foot the bill though.

      On the subject of us footing the bill I hope that MP’s, who I consider to be public sector workers, are subject to the same pension terms and conditions as Danny Alexander outlined this afternoon for public sector workers and have been adhering to said terms for at least the last 10 years.

      Judging by the size of Mr Alexanders double chin he has being growing very fat at our expense. I don’t want to think that his diddler dem colleagues will be growing fat in retirment at our expense after their attempted robbery of us.

          Diddler dem robbers (by their diddling) are no different to muggers and burglars in my book.

          • Some Tory boyz are shit. says:

            Sorry anonymous, I don’t have a public sector pension.

            I was making a point about MP’s pensions and that since they’re demanding a standard from us, the public, their pensions should be subject to the same standard. I totally get that people are living longer and so need to contribute more. I actually agree with that.

            My problem is with diddling / thieving (to me they’re the same thing) a***holes like Lembit and Laws stealing from us and expecting us to subsidise them after they’ve retired from thieving / been kicked out by their constituents.

      “We have said all along that there should be no payment of taxpayers’ money that is not justified which is why we contested Mr Sampson’s original claim for £7,739.

      Smells very suspicious , he is lining up the taxpayer. No wonder he (the taxpayer) can afford to use expensive lawyers. What an utter shit that man is

    Of course Ed Balls would have done everything differently and better. he would have gone in with a small blunt knife and sorted it all out, and they’d be rich at the end of it all because he would have stimulated the sales of small blunt knives to the extent that they became richer than the united states. But clearly he couldn’t have done all that because he wasnt PM.

        you can say
        A} Greece needs a bailout to protect the EU contagion from spilling over..blah..blah.

        or B} Let Greece leave the Euro. Allow to devalue default drachma currency back to 300-500 Drachmas to the pound.
        Then instead of another £3 billion bailout bill, everyone in the UK gets a £200 voucher to spend on holiday in Greece where beer will be £1 pint, a steak meal £3.50 and scooter hire £8 all day.

        All Uk citizens get a holiday, Greece gets economic stimulus through tourism.

And His cleaner might have damaged it a bit because she was distraught at the evil bastard Tory-lef government’s cuts, and who can blame her?”

          Right. Pub-time!

          • BBC Editor’s notes.

            Ok..- insert ‘FRONTLINE’ 3rd line, between vital + public services.

            - Insert SYRIAN, LESBIAN before cleaner line 4. And rewrite so she doesn’t leave the country but was deported.

            -Hint that landlord is a Tory slum landlord and donates to David Cameron’s private pension fund.

            -Completely take out any mention of ‘she may have damaged office’ as 1} supposition, unproved + 2} distorts the narrative. Rewrite with something about cheap, 3rd rate office fixtures breaking and Ed not wanting to pay for defective items, as is his legal right.

            -{Sp} last line Tory-lef?? Replace with EVIL, TORY-LED GOVERNMENT CUTS UNDER THE COVER OF LIBERAL DEMOCRAT HUMAN SHIELDS.

            End with quote from files/Lab/soundbites/approved .
            “The landlord sent his own people into the building where they cleaned ‘Too Fast, and Too Deep’ and that’s how the carpet became gouged. The fact that the deep carpet grooves spelled out ” Tony needs knifing” is coincidence.

            Have it up ready for the 10 0′clock in case there’s any good economic news that needs squashing.

            Did Balls employ a mentally ill cleaner?
            Was she employed at less than the minimum rate?

    In summing up Lord Justice Egghead said,
    “You really are an incompetent weasel, aren’t you? Did you really think your defence of ‘So what?’ would allow you to avoid your obligations to the nation?”

    Mr Balls was not in court as the judge declared him, “A bully boy tosspot of the first order. If I could have sentenced him to deportation, I would have.”

    Larry Flynt is the man! says:

    Porn mogul Larry Flynt offered disgraced US lawmaker Anthony Weiner a job Thursday, after the New York congressman resigned over a tawdry “sexting” scandal.

    Hustler founder Flynt said he would pay Weiner, who posted pictures of his intimate anatomy to a number of women on Twitter, 20 percent more than what he earned in the House of Representatives.

    “After having learned of your sudden and compelled resignation from your congressional post, I would like to make you an offer of employment at Flynt Management Group, LLC in our Internet group,” he wrote.

    “This offer is not made in jest. To show our sincerity, Flynt Management Group, LLC is willing to pay 20 percent more than your former congressional salary,” he added, also promising to pay medical cover and relocation costs.

    He added: “I feel that your unfortunate resignation is a prime example of unfounded political pressure and the hypocrisy that has invaded democracy in Washington DC.”

    Drop a daisy cutter on the BBC says:

    I see the BBC are attacking the Tory MP who made a very sensible statement about allowing disabled people to work for less than the minimum wage.

    The BBC wank stains of course didn’t like this, but ignore the fact that disabled people find it far harder to get into work than able bodied. It’s no good some skinny homosexual BBC male prattling on about equality under the law, because even a BBC mong can see disabled people are far more likely to be unemployed. Allowing someone who is disabled to prove themselves is surely worth a small loss in earnings? Heck they could even top it up with benefits for say 6 months.

    Can someone please explain why the BBC is populated with complete wank stains?

    “Statement on former constituency office in Normanton
    A spokesperson for Ed Balls’ constituency office said:

    “We are very pleased with the outcome of today’s case.

    “We have said all along that there should be no payment of taxpayers’ money that is not justified which is why we contested Mr Sampson’s original claim for £7,739.

    “Based upon his obligations in the lease Mr Balls offered to pay £983, primarily for redecoration costs. The court has in fact awarded him less than his offer – £830 plus costs. We are also pleased that the court has confirmed that Mr Sampson will have to pay back £1000 in overpaid rent to the taxpayer within the next fourteen days, as we have been asking him to do for some time.

    “It is a pity that this matter had to come to the court, but it was important to protect the taxpayer from unjustified claims, as well as to ensure the overpaid rent was returned.”
