Another New Labour thief - Mayor John Walker.

Another New Labour politico caught lying and with his hand in the public till...

The BBC had this...Another New Labour thief jailed...

A former mayor and his wife have been jailed for 15 months and eight months respectively for falsely claiming almost £50,000 in benefits.

John Walker, 57, the former mayor of Sefton, and his wife Catie, 43, were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud.

**And here we find out what his "serious illness" was, or rather what he claimed it was:

The court heard that the ex-Labour councillor stated on forms submitted between 1999 and 2004 that he suffered from the muscle condition fibromyalgia, ME and had severe disabilities which meant he needed round-the-clock care from his wife.

**Sounds serious, and yet he could work as a mayor as well as councilor...

He listed "heavy night sweats" and swollen hands, arms and legs as effects of the illnesses and said walking long distances caused extreme pain and discomfort.
**Well I am sure that a diet would have helped ol lardy boy get rid of the "heavy night sweats", mind you he will no doubt be having lots more of them when he gets into prison. No doubt when his new cell mate takes a shine to him...

The couple, of Farmer Place, Bootle, denied the charges and were found guilty last month after a six-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

The jury heard evidence from a string of witnesses who saw Walker, 57, performing various roles while a Labour councillor and as mayor without any obvious physical difficulties.

He also regularly walked unaided from Anfield, the home of Liverpool FC, to a city centre pub for after-match drinks.

Walker was caught out when fraud inspectors filmed him attending lengthy civic functions and making political speeches.

Catie Walker, 49, had denied she was paid for escorting an autistic boy to school and for distributing cards for a taxi firm.

The Walkers said John battled through his illness to fulfil his public commitments and the allegations were politically motivated.
**Ah that old New Labour chestnut... Strange how when they get caught they always blame someone, anyone else...

One fat overweight lying sack of shit. John Walker

Here we see the typical attitude of New Labour filth and their supporters, who live high on the hog, whilst telling the rest of the plebs to stay down in the gutter and know their place.

Judge Brian Lewis said they represented a “persistent and serious” abuse of the benefits system over a long period of time.

“The overwhelming mass of evidence in that lengthy trial clearly exposes the mendacious fiction of your benefit claim forms as the two of you postured in civic finery as well as being chauffeured round in a publicly-funded limousine.
