“The Gravest Case Which Has Come to Us for Adjudication”
The Standards and Privileges Committee report on Denis MacShane is so damning that Labour HQ have already said his career is over. The report found that MacShane:
- Claimed nearly £20,000 a year in expenses for an office based in the garage of his South Yorkshire home.
- Signed claims with a “nom de plume” purporting to come from a General Manager who did not in fact exist.
- Knowingly submitted nineteen false invoices over a period of four financial years which were plainly intended to deceive the Parliamentary expenses authorities.
- Claimed thousands of pounds for eight computers that got ‘lost’ or were taken by interns.
- Claimed £12,900 for invoices from his EPI slush fund. He didn’t provide a single receipt for payments.
Do not pass go. Do not collect £200. Go straight to jail… if there was any justice.
Macshane worked for the BBC from 1969 to 1977
why is this story not a front page story in the press? Especially in the Pro European press who believe the lies he peddles
I will be surprised if it was just him.
I do think MPs salary should be the average salary as people they are representing.
Does he need any help with PR?
Last week your wipes were asking this man to help you against your own MPs.
£20k a year, I never saw it. Not a lick of paint on me doors, or a dust on the shelves. Me light bulb aint working. Doesn’t even put a bloody car inside, just stores a load of old grumble mags and boxes of expenses forms.
The country simply couldn’t afford to pay Tory MPs the same amount as the people they’re representing.
The 4 Ways to Spend Money
oh jimmy you’re so savage
No mention of the story on the first 40 mins of the Daily Politics Show
I suspect if it had been a Tory it would be leading the news…… and Newsnight.
When he is jailed will he be allowed to vote?
After performing oral on B wing (BBC nonces)
He is a decent man. It should be someone else, there are loads of potential candidates.
Who is the only person who can even withstand this and doesn’t have to resign from government? Tomorrow might end up being an interesting day.
He’s a complete twat if you must know. Arrogant, foul-mouthed corrupt.
He im blaimin fella that grassed him up
Ed Milliband says……………….. nothing
Decent man?
Decent men don’t steal.
He’s a thief and a liar. Decent man my arse.
Sacked for calling into a show he worked on using a false name to smear a Tory politician, according to Wiki.
He has to go before the courts now – surely? If not why not?
Do people employed by the BBC actually work?
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I claimed for each and ev’ry journey
And more, much more than this, I claimed it my way
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I fiddled what I had to do and saw it through without exeption
I planned each smearing ruse, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I fiddled my way
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I lied more than anyone knew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I fronted up and bluffed it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and stole it my way
I’ve fiddled, I’ve laughed and lied
I’ve had my fill, my share of boozing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
“Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I nicked it my way”
For what is a trougher, what has he got?
If not his claims, then he has naught
To claim the things he truly steals and bluff your way to courts of appeal
The record shows I took loads and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way
Oh come get fcuking real !!
Of course NOT, when they extort £3B+ per year
they could stick a test card on 24/7 ……
and still tell the plebs they are getting excellent value
for the money thats stolen……
Who said that crime does not pay
Look over there !! A Tory just said, ‘Pleb’ ! He did ! Honest, look over, there. Over there, I tell you.
“Denis and I were great BBC buddies in the 70s. In fact our friendship lasted much longer, he went on to become MP for Rotherham and I lived in nearby Leeds. Oh you should have seen some of the parties we went to……”
Who have you keys of hospitals and school hostels?
He has no shame, he has been mouthing off since he came back from suspension. A truly dreadful man, can you imagine the hysteria from Milliband if he was a conservative MP.
Oh , I don’t know.
Fiddling a few office exes is par for the course in parliament. Speak to any Westminster villager and after the fake indignation they will say “well, actually—-”
The plebs( ie the electorate) simply have to understand that one has to do what is expected of one once one has attained exalted status ie an MP
Its being a BBC insider that really makes me puke.
Hang him !
Outrageous criminal activity likely to avoid the criminal courts, however, grope a girl in the 1970′s, allegedly call someone a monkey or twat, refuse a couple of gay men a double bed a BB and you can be sure The Plod will come calling with a zero tolerence attitude!
Losing his career isn’t enough.
He must be prosecuted.
+1m. If the police do not act then this will merely confirm that MPs are pretty well the ‘untouchables’ as before. Less than ten doing time is 639 too few. If they ignore what he has done then there really is no justice for those who set out to thieve public money.
Then how about a private prosecution?
that should be easy to arrange…..fraud whilst in a public office
Will be taken over by the DPP and dropped because not in the public interest.
Prosecute the DPP in that case for the same offence.
and persecuted by those he stole from…. us the tax payers of this useless corrupt third world country!
We’re coming up to Guy Fawkes Night. Let’s nominate him as a suitable candidate to be burnt alive. Maybe the same could apply to most MP’s.
Now now, isn’t this incitement to arson?
Anyone know where that garage is?
Do most of the British public know who he is? I bet outside Rotherham the only people who recognise his name are the readers of this blog. I’d never heard of him in my pre-order-order.com days.
He has to be prosecuted.
Why are the Police not interested?
Where are the CPS spineless?
In any other walk of life these criminal acts would carry a lengthy prison sentence.
Why is this man any different?
Where is the rule of law in the UK?
He must be prosecuted for the public good – if he is not it will further undermine the publics confidence in Justice & our Parliament.
Arrest that man.
No, sorry, we can only arrest someone who says something racist on Twitter now, otherwise there’s just way too much paperwork to go through.
Keir Starmer, the head of the CPS is a card carrying Labour supporter.
Work it out.
Don’t you read the papers. The police put all their efforts into catching 3 Poles who were catching none native crayfish from the ponds on Hampstead Heath. Even though these crayfish are eating our native crayfish and are a pest.
The bad thing though is that the plod put the crayfish back into the ponds which is an illegal act but they were not prosecuted for this and the Poles fined £750.
One of them could be him, after all his real name is Denis Matyjaszek.
Perhaps the Plod dropped the case because they couldn’t spell his name.
Liebour protects its own. That’s why their moles pepper the public service.
He should be in prison, along with Margaret Moran and Jacqui Smith.
Yes, obtaining public money by false means.
Either way the nation knows Dennis MacShane is a guilty crook.
+15M !!!
And in the case of Smith why is she allowed regular outings on LBC
& Sky News
This demonstrates crime does pay & in the case of MP’s & former ones
very well indeed !!
No doubt still enjoying all the hospitality @ HoC
The prisons are already full of Labour MPs
Bring back hanging
Unfortunately not even those 5 convicted served less than a quarter of their sentence and of course Margeret Moran went dolaaly
Is she still bonkers ?
That’s why Cameron doesn’t want to give prisoners the vote!
Obviously he didn’t spend any of the money on getting the garage door repainted. At least Moran spent some of her ill-gotten gains on renovations. Although I have my doubts about the true cost of dry rot treatment.
Has to be prison – other have been jailed for lesser expenses fraud.
1,000 years ago:
“A House of Commons clerk who faked MPs’ expenses claims to pay off gambling debts has been jailed for nine months.
Andrew Gibson, 49, from Limehouse, east London, fraudulently claimed almost £6,000 on behalf of three MPs including Father of the House Tam Dalyell.”
Diffr’nt folks, diffr’nt strokes.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11444921
+ 1 – exactly.
McShanes crimes are worse than that minion acting under orders.
He has to go to prison for this.
And quite right too. Macshane, given his enhanced position of trust and responsibility to set and example, should be looking at about 5 years.
That list is appalling.
The man is a criminal.
If the Met do not arrest him now and the CPS prosecute him now the public will know that justice is only for the little people, not the elite.
Disgusting thief.
We’ve known this since Aesop.
Protester hid in public toilet for an hour to heckle David Cameron http://bit.ly/VibDSq
The toilet was probably full of lefty BBC types enjoying some man fun together.
Many a true word spoken in jest.
Many moons ago, whilst working for a division of the BBC as a temp, I attended their Christmas party. As the party was drawing to a close I retired to the gents to empty my bladder. As I pushed open the door I was met by a guy swiftly retreating who said, ” Up to you mate, but I’d hold it in unless you enjoy listening and watching two guys bumming.” I could hear the groaning and moaning coming from one of the cubicles, so turned around and pissed outside instead.
The BBC has always been a nest of hedonistic filth and depravity.
Was it Toilets McGuire ?
Bugger, another one slipped under my radar!
The committee have not done their duty. The should have referred him to the police.
Will they explain why they have failed to do so?
Explain? To us plebs? Good Lord, whatever next?
This man’s name has brought shame on the nation’s fire engines.
Sorry, can’t waste time on this, too busy making frequent, stupid comments to the press and generally grandstanding.
Coming attractions, Cambridge Wordfest 25 November
http://www.cambridgewordfest.co.uk/festivals/spring/event/view/starmer-sands
A fascinating conversation with the Director of Public Prosecutions at a time of unprecedented interest in the law. Starmer will be in conversation with Philippe Sands, Professor of International Law at University College London.
Starmer speciailses in domestic law, so they probably won’t have much to talk about.
If plod dont get off their arses now we will all know they are just agents of the political elite now.
How come he has got away with it for so long?
How come Ed Miliband gave him the whip back?
McShame has to go to court. And then to prison. Then the PCO needs to be envoked to seize his assets gained via criminal activity.
One rule for them?
One rule for Labour, one rule for the rest.
One ‘ring’ to rule them all.
What on earth did he do with all those £thousands ?- his home, from those photos, looks like a slum.
There is probably another one somewhere near a beach. Either that or he has a habit that costs a lot.
More like a pigsty.
House in London worth £750.000 apparently
Gotcha!
He’s been exposed for all to see, another Labour fraudster on the run!
He’ll have to change his name because MacShane now rhymes with shame.
Actually, no, it doesn’t; it just sounds similar.
Get an education. And a life.
McShit was the BBC’s go to Labour mouthpiece for years, I suspect nothing will change.
Slack paperwork.
Presumably the mob would prefer that he’d spent more time on his filing and less time working for his constituents?
Of course, paperwork is only for the little people.
False accounting? No problem. We’ll look the other way.
No doubt he will spend more time filing… but more like desperately attempting to file through the bars on his window as his cell mates try to mate…
He spent very little time on his constituents I can tell you! So go away
Slack paperwork? Jesus, the guy signed claims in the names of non-existent people. To sit down and carefully invent false details, and ensure those details have a sufficient degree of consistency so as to appear plausible, requires the utmost attention to detail – the very opposite of slackness.
Are you Moussa in disguise?
As to your second point, I think it’s evidently clear that MacShane has spent a little too much time on his filing, most probably to the detriment of his constituents.
Did he also have one of those ‘friendly printers’ we read about in Liebore circles?
No hesitation; he should be prosecuted for false accounting and gross abuse in a public office. It is simply bewildering MPs’ are not held to the same standard as the rest of us…
He wont even lose his privy councillership
I mean, what’s a few hundred thousand pounds between friends, I ask you? Petty cash, FFS– loose change, in the grand scheme of things, innit? We pay shedloads more (ha ha) to the EU everyday and never miss it!
What’s the point of politics if it doesn’t enable scum to get rich?
Fire the Director of Public Prosecutions if he does not bring charges here
There evidence is there…
http://blog.cps.gov.uk/2011/11/letter-to-the-daily-mail-from-cps-about-chris-huhne.html
Don’t be silly he’s a Bliar appointee, a mole for the great unwashed.
BUT – he also lied when a minister, he channeled funding to micky mouse fake charities to produce ludicrous fake statistics which he then used, and refered to as motivating policy and action, he actively sought to extend censorship to any criticism of the state of israel, equating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism which he wished to make a crime in itself in the EU.
And all of this, done without any fuss. Without any media upset. without any criticism.
A nasty, deceitful, authoritarian, bent, treasonous piece of shit.
“A nasty, deceitful, authoritarian, bent, treasonous piece of shit.”
A comprehensive and accurate summary, if I may say so.
You have him praised by feint damnation!
If Millitwit is any sort of Leader this bastard will have resigned by this evening .
Three million people unemployed and this little trougher is fiddling his expenses .
Don’t hold your breath.
Another leftie cretin bites the dust..
The cubnt is still walking the streets you daft twat !
Patience..
If he’s not doing a ‘perp walk’ by this time tomorrow, we’ll all know how shit this government is.
Head-on-a-pike wouldn’t be out of the question, Mr Lord Protector.
Sod Jimmy Savile .
I dont care about Freddie Star and his fucking hamster .
Get this bastard arrested right now and before the Beak in the morning .
I trust bail will be refused as clearly the Uk public are not safe financially with him walking the streets .
Scum.
Infamy !! You’ve all got it in for me !!
I wonder why pro EU Labour supporting Keir Starmer did not prosecute McShane?
Lack of evidence?
Something stinks here.
Anyone else would be doing 5 years for this at least.
Maybe Keir Starmer is bent? Political bias? An utter cretin? Who knows? I would believe anything these days of our corrupted ruling class.
If he can’t get a conviction here he is out on his arse !
Too much neeps and haggis when he was young?
Sniff my bottom.
There, that’s better, isn’t it?
He should hang himself in that fucking garage!
Waste of a good garage
Admiral, you must be delighted by the news of a new Star Wars trilogy.
So this is why he has recently been campaigning for the rights of prisoners to vote.
We need a private prosecution on behalf of taxpayers if the police don’t do their job
And a full inquiry into why the Police decided to do sweet FA
regarding this very serious crime !!!
Too busy following Savile – dead though he may be.
Yes I admit that I am a liar, hypocrite, embezzler and general all-round c u nt. However I still expect to be invited onto the BBC to offer my incisive comments on the issues of the day.
Must be a prominent To*ry that is going to featured tonight on Beebs
Newsnight then….. as all news management teams seem to be
working overtime today………
So Vicky Pryce swaps Chris Huhne for Denis MacShane. Are the BBC on shakey ground when they ask for her judgement on anything remotely important?
Still, we know what to do about her next paramour.
You reckon she has dumped Denis then?
Mind you finding a man who is both a Europhile and a Crook is not difficult.
If you think I am going to pay for unisex prisons , think again .
Well, she chose someone who could pay for that candlelit dinner for two, so I’d guess her economic advice is sound.
‘d like to go to a party where we all throw our keys into a bowl then pick keys at random so we’re all bleeding a strangers radiator
The report is completely unbalanced and wholly unjust. He does not deserve to be suspended for 12 months. The appropriate remedy for this regrettable lapse in judgment would be for his genitalia to be removed with a rusty knife and for him then to be killed.
Glass of whisky and loaded revolver in the study, Denis you know what to do.
He’d probably chug the drink and steal the gun.
He’s no gentleman.
But he’s not a gentleman.
Tiger2, got there before me.
Chancellor: “If Britain is to compete and thrive in the global economy then we must lead the way in political blogging”
Hallo Hallo
All resources are being deployed to protect prominent Labour MP
this will cause a small amount of traffic disruption elsewhere…….
should be all clear by tonight
Now stay in the jam & shut the fcuk up……
Traffic hopeless in central London. Totally hopeless. Have been stuck on 38 bus between stops for 20 minutes.
Extraordinary that he isn’t facing charges – what the fuck are the CPS up to??
The answer to your question is fuk all .
After all it is Friday afternoon.
Lifted from the Beeb W/S where its news item three
Cue Vomit !!…………………& tissues……..
“I am obviously desperately sorry for any embarrassment I have
caused my beloved Labour Party
and its leader Ed Miliband whom I greatly admire”………..
Where do they get this utter trash from & Fang Pang still believes
the plebs trust there output……the guy is mad

++++Laughs++++
The man’s a delusional egomaniac!
IS that a clever expression for twat
DOES ANYONE ON THIS FORM KNOW:
(a) Whether private individuals can put a case to the CPS in lieu of police action
(b) How much this would be likely to cost
(c) Whether there would be sufficient interest on this forum (a few quid each) to make it happen?
I am sick to the back teeth of these f***king Labour sc*m turning the UK, specifically London, into the money-laundering capital of the world fit only for thieves and the friends of thieves.
How about it Guido?
You can count on me for a donation lets show these f…… they are not above the law
+5M
Sounds like a brilliant idea…….
go for it…….
I refer the hon. member to the answer at #91 above.
even if it failed it would show these thieving scum that the ordinary citezen isn going to take it lying down ,the fraud goes on and on they have learned nothing from the tsunami of 2009
Yes you can bring a criminal prosecution in England Wales and NI if the CPS does not.
The CPS recently tried to tighten up on this by increasing the standards that a private person should provide but this has been taken to the supreme court.
BBC radio 4 law in action have recently covered this plus being your own lawyer.
I help you financially too “Angry of London”. It comes to something when MPs are above the law.
MacShame!
Labour are now talking to him about his “future” and the “best course of action ” he can take .
He should take a short walk to the local police station .
What PC Plod has no Meat Wagons available to collect him in person
from HoC & more importantly on CAMERA !!!
for everyone to SEE !!
A jump off a short chair with his neck in a noose would be better.
This disgusting. He should be thrown into prison.
FFS Go Now !!
I think you’ll all agree that William Hague wasting £10,000 on stuffing a snake is a much higher priority news story than the minor transgressions of our favourite pro-European and anti-semitism campaigner.
I do not think it is fair to ask the Labour Party to subsidise the criminal justice system just because we supply a lot of the criminals.
“Fuck” can be used as a verb, adverb, adjective, command, interjection, noun, and can logically be used as virtually any word in a sentence.
Dave. You’re a fucking fucker. You’re fucked.
You’re a fucking fucked fucker.
Oy Watson, put your kebab down and comment
This is trifling news. We should be concentrating on Leveson.
There’s a twat on BBC Radio 4 called Mark Stevens claiming that its OK for an MP to steal money as long as he’s an ‘anti-fascist’. God preserve us from moral pygmies.
Indeed, the Johan Hari defence/excuse – “whatever he’s done is excusable, because ultimately he’s one of the good guys”. Of course by “good guy” they means hypocritical, deceiving, left-wing gravy-train rider.
McShane’s own statement pleads that all these expenses were incurred in his global fight against anti-semitism. So that’s all right, then.
Right. Time for a warming cheese toastie, I think.
Capn. Bob would have been proud of him.
Yes, a suspension with full pension rights seems reasonable. Anyone want to join me in setting up a think tank to consider the latest report on the Royal Prerogative?
Denis McShane is from the ethnic minority Polish community so is perfectly entitled to play the race card.
David Laws stole public money because he didn’t want Mummy and Daddy to find out he had a boyfriend.
His punishment consisted of a period out of government, in other words a slap on the wrist, and an order to pay back the money. He is now rehabilitated and back in office.
According to Cast Iron Dave, David Laws has served his punishment and deserves a second chance.
Surely as a selfless public servant Denis McShane deserves the same leniency.
It seems like this infestation of mother fcuking thieves @ HoC won’t get it,
until a large number of them are swinging from lamp posts……..
something that is drawing nearer day by day………
I was taken down by the BNP, who brought the original complaint .F*cking racist’s
“Signed claims with a “nom de plume” purporting to come from a General Manager who did not in fact exist.”
isn’t that called fraud in the real world?
Politicians live in a fraudulent world and think they are exempt from reality.
yeah no but i’m like
Well mister Sillibrand, has got some heavy Party pooh, that needs flushing away. This Dishonourable MacShame, who is heavy in the whatsinnitforme department must go along with some of his Dishonourable colleagues.
What’s all the fuss. The BBC saying he is in for a 12 month suspension
Finally got “McShame” – the cartoon character that used false statistics re sex Trafficking and quoted the Daily Mirror as his source in the House Of Commons. Now we know where the money for “research” really went!
I ‘disappeared’ 8 pc’s with no trouble
Lost ‘mongst my garage/office rubble
I claimed thousands too
To be paid by you
Now they’ve burst my scamming bubble
I soon wipe the fcuking smile off your face, when the golden rivet
is right up your fat ar*se with no Vaz*aline to help grease it in !!!…..
Please do not make me laugh: Liebour to behave honourably? That word is not in their dictionary….duh
Mac Shane has announced that he is to resign as an MP, soon as possible I hope. Labour were right to suspend him and I assume he will now be expelled for bringing that Party into Disrepute.
Dennis in FFS Taxpayer In Wonderland territory. To prison he must go!
