Scrounging Lords Take Break Until October
Fresh from having the debate on their survival kicked into the long grass, the 765 peers sitting in the House of Lords will celebrate by taking a 10-week summer holiday this evening.
The House rises until October 8th, meaning that its members will have to wait to enjoy the £175,000 of taxpayers’ money they have just spent on revamping the decor in their parliamentary offices. Our dosh has been spent on dozens of new pieces of art and statues, including a bust of Prince Philip and a painting of the Jubilee procession. Come back Nick, all is forgiven…
The Lords do a better job than MPs tho.
I d pay double to give them longer holidays
Sack George Osborne, says Liberal Democrat peer
Former Treasury spokesman Lord Oakeshott turns on chancellor after figures show recession has deepened.

A dead cat imparts more financial wisdom than Lord Oakeshit.
+10,000
Now don’t go upsetting the LimpDicks or they may choose to take the “nuclear option”!
Oakeshott – Charterhouse, Oxford PPE, Keynsian and all round leftie.
Why anyone would take this washed-up old fool seriously is a question that only Nick Clegg can answer.
everybody does a better job than MPs.
Why do you Englishers bother with a parliament? President José Manuel Barroso and I make all the decisions that really affect you. Your MPs and Lords are just tinkering around the edges.
Keeps the unemployment stats down.
So long and thanks for all the vegetarian chicken
Her thanks no doubt would be to Lord Ahmed – prolific property developer totally reliant upon his bank funding for building his properties – who just happened to head an APPG – called SAFE Struggle Against Financial (Bank) Exploitiation – an APPG which was set up with the aim back around 2003 of bringing the bankers before Parliament to bring them to account.
How NOT ODD that subsequently the whole APPG was conveniently collapsed and that the issue of errant bankers [fat cat bonuses / people being ripped off] was kicked into the long grass then?
This is of Lord Ahmed! – who ‘killed a man’ in the fast lane on the M5 – while he was ‘texting on his mobile phone’… funny how the public never found out who the ‘journalist’ Ahmed was texting at the time was; and funny how the public never found out what the series of texts were about …
Don’t they just look after their own – these Lords who any true God fearing Christian might otherwise think that by using the word Lord; they are in fact taking the pee out of the God fearing Christians such as they are ‘taking their Lords’ name in vain?’
Stupid Christians!!!! – They’re just simple easy lion meat. Have been so easily duped for so many decades – who would’ve guassed it.
Seeing as mistakes seem to be going to pixel lately I would like to suggest a new disciplinary code for your staff.
Any mistake that goes to pixel the staff member responsible should “Take one for the team”

I believe that this system will soon eradicate mistakes.
“Come back Nick, all is forgiven…”
No, it really isn’t. The best Clegg can hope for is to be forgotten.
This has got to be real Guido. Sitting around after lunch, 34C in the shade.
Could you write the temperature in English, please?
307K
FYI:
*C divided by 9, multiplied by 5; plus 32 = *F
or in words. *C over 5, times 9; plus 32 = *F
pleesh ignore the firsht formula – too much cooking ssshherry. the second one ish the crekt one.
34C? Sounds like my au pair’s bra size.
Who
“the 765 peers sitting in the House of Lords”
I bet theres hundreds of them that haven’t actually sat in the house of lords in the last 5 years.
This is bad news for our noble friends, they won’t be able to claim 400 quid-a-night in bunk-up fees!
Polly Toynbee is also a very stupide person
But I like her!
Polly Toynbee is by no means a stupid person – she is a “very” – devious, manipulative, duplicitous, fork-tongued, evil, marxist loving communist Zioloon.
The government are going to force people to shovel snow at 3 in the morning in their underwear. It’s official. I have it good authority. I never lie. And they’re going to reduce the minimum wage to 5 pence a week.
bUGGA!!!! – NO MORE FREEBY FEEDING – THERE AGAIN i CAN COME DOWN SPECIAL AN’ CHARGE IT UP TO EXPENSUS – THANKS tONE – ! YOU’RE A GOODUN!
Disgraceful. Imagine that, being so lazy and getting paid at the same time. If only everyone had my integrity of doing the job they’re paid to do.
Force us to do the job we are paid to do, well, you know whatll happen…
I say you jolly chaps!! None of this matters !!! the main thing is that my really super-duper plans for bum-sex marridge go ahead watt!! Whatage?? Water???
It doesn’t seem a very good likeness of HRH.
As with everything to do with the House of Lords, you don’t get what you pay for.
Put a beard on it, and it would look more like Lenin.
I thought that it was Trevor Kavanagh before I read the text.
Predatory twat.
Leave the poor lad alone – he’s out of your league. Try cottaging – it’s probably more your level.
I’ll pass, if it’s all the same, thanks. I’d rather watch A*****l win a’ ‘ome and lie in a big crisp bed with Jack Dromey’s big crisp old lady.
Conor Burns MP LGBT mouthpiece – has got a lot of problems at present – one of his constituents has been ‘harassing him’ so he said – bent, corrupt, duplicitous wanker – who reeled back in his chair [Fri 13th July - 12:18] to avoid accepting a piece of paper which he thought was a ‘writ being served upon him’ – it wasn’t it was an email which he refuses to do anything about -Criminally corrupt Homosexual that he is. Cited David Laws MP’s attempt to silence his expenses abuse by squealing homophobia!!!
10 weeks off should be the holiday allowance of border guards.
Reading the paper and saying ‘stand behind the line..take your passport out of the funky case please… anything to declare?’ really takes it out of the lads.
Maybe twelve weeks rest is needed.
Surely the term: border guards is an oxymoron anyway, they let them all in but nobody can get any of them out afterwards.
Blair let them all in – he was pandering to the greediest profiteering SOB’s fat cats in the city – ‘Cheap Labour =s maximising profit’ – DoHHHH!!!!
There’s no difference between Commies and extremist Capitalists. There’s just those in between who daren’t mention it.
Lord Oldshit. The greatest advert for the complete eradication of the LibDemons at the General Election.
Don’t forget me !!!
Well, that’s a start anyway. He can now move on to abandoning all of Brown’s “target” mentality which completely buggered many institutions who were so busy collecting figures they forgot to do what they were being paid for.
At least a bronze bust and a decent figurative picture are likely to hold their value; they might even increase in a century or so.
Better than much of the other rubbish they spend money on.
It’s about as much use as a chocolate Prince Philip.
We’ve got our eyes on it.
Why all the masonic hands resting on Lord Baden Powell, without hat.
The bust of Prince Philip is a masterpiece, I presume it was made by a West Indian mother. I fully approve of the choice of colour.
That is 50 attendance allowances that I cannot claim. I am goiong to be out of pocket by at least £20,000. Stupid bastards.
Can I still get my expenses, innit?
Troughing c’unts.
Lord Phillips of the Supine Court is a despicable dirty 2 faced fork tongued zioloon – he and his’ days are numbered.
