Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, claimed parliamentary expenses for a flat that he let to tenants while also claiming living allowances for his grace and favour home in Downing Street.

In July 2007, Mr Darling submitted a £1,004 claim for a service charge on his south London flat 10 days after he became Chancellor. It covered the six-month period to the end of December 2007.

At the time, Mr Darling moved into Downing Street and began to claim second home allowances for his grace-and-favour apartments, meaning that costs relating to two of the Chancellor's homes were being met by the taxpayer. That would appear to contravene parliamentary rules that allow MPs to claim on only one property at a time. He was also receiving rent for his flat from at least September 2007.

Mr Darling bought the flat - near the Oval cricket ground in south London - for £226,000 in 2005 and went on to claim £2,260 in stamp duty and £6,000 on furnishings and carpets. He is now thought to make at least £5,000 per year from the rent after mortgage costs are deducted. Mr Darling's expenses file also shows that he claimed for tax advice relating to the rental of the flat.

It has already been disclosed that Mr Darling is a "serial flipper" who has designated four properties as his second home in four years. He has also employed an accountant at taxpayers' expense to complete his self-assessment forms.

You could tell from his post today on his "Read my shyte" post, that Paul Flynn MP was angry with the Telegragh. Best he calm down, he might have another stroke....then again maybe he should get angry, very angry. 

He said: 

"Reading the fine details of minute MPs expenses is bordering on the prurient."

Oh?

"They are also getting dafter he wails" and lists some cherry picked examples, whilst missing all the big ones reported today - most of which involved Labour MP's, no connection I am sure just saying is all.

Then he attempts to defend Dennis Skinner, claiming they are trying to nail him. If that is the case, I have some decent nails and some large planks of wood. 

But then he sort of wanders off onto a Cameron attack, now I have to admit that I am no fan of the husky hugger Cameron myself. That said even Attila the Hun would make a better PM than that snot gobbling, trouser pissing mono eyed cunt we have in the job now.

Although it did raise a chuckle that whilst attacking the Telegraph he had to use figures quoted in that very paper to do so, then use more figures quoted in that paper for his attack on Cameron.

In doing so would he say that his own motives are prurient at best?

Newport really does deserve better.

I wonder if he did pay his money to Endowment Justice after they sucessfully sued him for libel, from public funds and claim the money back?

Oh maybe this will explain the source of Mr Flynn's anger at the Telegraph:

Paul Flynn claimed £7,052 for new kitchen, £1,153 carpets and £1,200 decoration for his London property in 2005, before selling it and moving to a new £275,000 flat. Claims £9,629 in stamp duty and fees.

Also £16,958.00 2nd home allowance, £13,913.00 on office costs, £92,902.00 staffing costs, £202.00 central stationary, £510.00 stationary & postage. £1,209.00 IT provision, £7,171.00 on communications, £8,096.00 travel, £140,961.00 total.

So lets see £64K a year wages for doing - in my view a poor job - and £140K in expenses on top of that. 

Hardly value for money.

.

Was going to rip in the scruffy old commie cunt Dennis Skinner. 

However, fuck that, as Obo the clown has done a top fucking notch job ripping the cunt a new blow hole.

An so with no futher ado, its over to Obo.

I will never be able to look at Skinner again with laughing and thinking of Obo's comments.

Glenda Jackson time serving dire MP....She claimed £8,850 to cover the cost of the publication which was called First Magazine.

Ms Jackson agreed to pay back the money because the publication carried a reference to the Labour Party in breach of the rules.

In March 2006 she claimed £7,500 in office expenses from the taxpayer to pay her local party for the "provision of constituency services during 2006".

The payment, which was claimed on her Incidental Expenditure Provision (IEP) covered the cost of "constituency contacts, office facilities, member's surgery support, administration and the downloading of the electoral register".

The payment was made to Hampstead and Kilburn Labour Party.

Ms Jackson claimed £7,500 for similar services the following year and £1,500 to cover the costs of services provided by her local party in 2005.

Ms Jackson, 73, has also made several claims for money to cover the cost of a subscription to Computing for Labour which is run from the party's HQ and exists to provide technological tools and support. She made three separate claims for £50 to cover the cost of her subscription to CLF.

She turned up for only 27 per cent of votes, spoke in only two debates and did not ask any parliamentary questions in 2007-8, she claimed a total of £136,793 in allowances, to cover travel, home, office and staffing costs.

Well what fucking poor value she is, as over rated as her arty films. £136 grand for just 2 debates. A trained fucking monkey could do better and John Prescott has shown that that is the case.

John Smith, a Labour backbencher, took advantage of generous allowances to claim an average of £14,488 a year – more than the average salary of a minimum wage worker– without providing evidence of any spending.

When he eventually made a claim backed up by a receipt, it was for home furnishings including a vase, a frying pan, a bath robe, beaded drapes and poster art.

The MP for Vale of Glamorgan, in south Wales, claimed close to the maximum Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) in the four years between 2004/5 and 2007/8 to cover the expense of renting a small flat in London.

In addition to monthly rent of up to £560, he claimed the full £400 for groceries and several hundred pounds across the other categories every month.

In total the 58-year-old claimed £86,675 in ACA over the four years, of which £57,955 was for costs at his London address below the threshold for which evidence was required.

The amount is equivalent to £14,488 a year – well above the £11,024 that a typical full-time minimum wage worker could expect to earn.
Mr Smith claimed a total of £148,514 in overall expenses - including housing, office and staff costs - in 2007/8 but turned up for only 48 per cent of votes, spoke in 10 debates and asked just 10 questions in the same period.
He announced last week he was standing down at the next election, making him eligible for a resettlement grant of between £32,000 and £65,000 on leaving office, of which the first £30,000 is tax free.

A House of Commons official wrote to Mr Smith in July 2007, saying: "I notice you claim regular nominal amounts.

"Although we do not require sight of receipts or invoices for amounts which are £250 or less we would need to know on what these amounts are based. Ideally we would expect members to claim for actual amounts and not nominal sums."

Despite the letter, the MP continued to claim nominal amounts for the rest of financial year.

Good riddance and I hope he fucking dies one day after leaving The Commons, a total and utter cunt and disgrace to his office.

Looks like the Spaniards are taking a break from killing bulls and throwing goats off of tall buildings ....They've tried invasion, diplomacy and downright skulduggery to grab a piece of Gibraltar during the past 300 years.

But now the Spanish have played their trump card by laying claim to 20 square miles of sea around the Rock...in the name of the environment.

And it seems to have worked – for the moment, at least. For the EU has granted Spain legal rights over British waters surrounding Gibraltar.

Now from a Spanish point of view you can hardly blame them, they smell weakness and cowardice in the UK.

What we need to protect our interests abroad is:

Alas what we have is...

A bent banana! 

Thank fuck Franco is dead, else Spanish troops would have taken it over by now. 

Brown the coward would never fight to defend that bit of land, he would appease and claim it was all in the best interests of everyone for Spain to own it.

Dof of the cap to Wardog for the info on this grasping hoon of an MP.
Mohammad Sarwar, the LABOUR MP for Glasgow Central, who has a fortune of £16million, has claimed the maximum under his second homes allowance since 2004.

He claimed almost £2,000 every month for the interest on his mortgage on a £600,000 apartment in an exclusive block in Vauxhall, south London, just over the river from the Houses of Parliament.

Mr Sarwar, the chairman of the Scottish Affairs Select Committee, also claimed more than £3,000 for ground rent and service charges every year as well as around £1,500 for council tax and hundreds of pounds for home phone bills that included calls to Pakistan.

Mr Sarwar claimed a total of £174,882 in expenses last year but turned up for only 55 per cent of votes, spoke in only nine debates and asked 55 parliamentary questions.

Since 2004 he has claimed a total of £86,497 in second homes allowance (Additional Costs Allowance) and a total of £638,640 in other expenses, including office and staff costs.

He robs the public purse- no doubt he will argue it is within the rules etc- so I do him as a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in revenge. 

.

Actually a sockpuppet might be a bit tougher with regards asking the PM awkward questions...

.

Mr Fallon, the MP for Sevenoaks, who fiercely criticised the excesses of bankers earlier this year, repaid £2,200 of the over-claim. However, he was allowed to offset the remaining £6,100 against his allowance.
The MP retrospectively claimed £3,521 for legal fees and hundreds more for mortgage interest charges and utility bills — all personally authorised by the head of the fees office. Mr Fallon had previously claimed £1,000 a month in second home expenses to rent a property in Pimlico, south west London.

He began making the excessive claims after buying the Westminster flat for £243,000 in June 2002 and designating it as his second home.
Various other household expenses he claimed for after September 2004 included a £250 per month cleaning bill, which Mr Fallon reduced from £300 after being asked for a receipt.
At the time, MPs did not need to provide receipts for claims up to £250. In a letter to the fees office in March 2005, he said: “My cleaner has never provided receipts”.
In May 2005, he claimed £499 for a television, £69.50 for a digital box and £35 for a radio. Mr Fallon sold the flat in December 2006 for £295,000, making a profit of £52,000. He claimed £1,774.50 in legal fees relating to the sale. In the two months before the sale, he claimed £126 for boiler repairs, £170 for repairs to bathroom tiles, £282 for electrical repairs and £225 for carpet cleaning.

He then bought another flat in Westminster for £728,000. Soon after moving in, he claimed £1,795 for a bed, £1,500 for curtains and almost £1,000 for a freezer, washer-dryer and deep cleaner. The claim for the bed was reduced to £1,000.

He then began claiming the interest on the mortgage for his new flat, which came to about £2,100 per month — almost three times as much as at his previous property. Mr Fallon also shares a large house in his Kent constituency with his wife, Wendy. The house, which the couple bought in 1997, is about 28 miles away from Westminster. It is not mortgaged.

Mr Fallon is also paid as a director of three companies. His salary from one, a money broker, is reportedly £45,000. He also pays his wife from his taxpayer-funded office expenses to work as his secretary.

I knew this utter cunt would turn up eventually, every pig heads on down to the feeding trough....Tom Harris, the Labour MP for Glasgow South, became embroiled in a row with the Commons fees office when his claims for a baby cot and bottle steriliser were rejected.

Mr Harris, who designated his property in London as his second home, said MPs needed “two of almost everything”, including the equipment for his child.

His claims of £90 for the cot and £50 for the steriliser, made under the additional costs allowance (ACA), were rejected because they were “not wholly, exclusively and necessarily” incurred in relation to parliamentary duties.

Mr Harris wrote to the fees office to complain. He said: “I wish to object to your decision not to reimburse me for the costs of purchasing a baby’s cot and bottle steriliser for use in my London home.

“I can confirm that these expenses have been incurred 'wholly, exclusively and necessarily’ in relation to my parliamentary duties in that the only reason my wife and baby son visit me in London is because I live there half the week. And the only reason I live in London half the week is that I am a Member of Parliament.

“MPs by necessity have to own two of almost everything — two sets of furniture, two TV sets, two DVD players, two electric shavers, etc.

Oh really Tom, so what the fuck makes MP's any more special than anyone else. The rest of us load up a bag or three when away for a few days, not seek to loot the taxpayers of this land.

If you need stuff, the House of Commons pays you something called a wage - around £64K a year.

“Since all of these were legitimately claimed from my ACA, perhaps you can explain why a cot for my son cannot be.”

Mr Harris concluded: “If you insist on upholding this odd decision, perhaps you might be good enough to write to me explaining where my son should sleep next time he visits me in London?”
But officials in the fees office were unmoved. In July 2008 Mr Harris claimed £19.99 for a child’s bed set and £59.79 for a child’s inflatable bed, which were also rejected.

He said: “It’s important to me that I see my young children as much as possible, even when I’m in London..”

Mr Harris said he bought the blow-up bed because it was cheaper than a “proper” bed, which would have been allowed under the rules.

No sympathy, he chose the job and knew travel would be a part of that. He should pay for his extras out of his wages, just like us little folk have to.

Another instance of him showing himself to be an utter cunt.

.

Cashing in on socialismMr Donohoe put through a £2,575 receipt for one three-seat sofa and two double-seaters after buying them in Ayr in February 2006.
He was challenged by the fees office as the address printed on the invoice was that of his main home in Scotland, not his flat in London, which he designated as his second home.
He provided another receipt containing the address in the capital but officials then considered questioning the sum, as it was £75 more than is allowed for a three-piece suite.
However, an internal memo states: “I’m aware of the £2,500 guideline set for furniture but as Mr Donohoe has exceeded this by £75, I don’t see any benefit in reducing this claim. It would antagonise Mr Donohoe and would make ourselves seem petty.” 

The expenses file for Mr Donohoe, who represents Central Ayrshire, shows that he spent thousands of pounds worth of public money on renovating a London flat before selling it.
He had owned the property since 1993 and in 2004-05 was reimbursed £2,190 for secondary glazing, £4,409 on furniture and £3,500 for a new bathroom.
In November 2005, he sold the flat for £173,000 and began renting a property near Westminster. The following summer he bought another flat nearby for £430,000 and claimed £1,733 in legal fees.

.

Screwing the taxpayer as well as his whore....

The former minister and close friend of Gordon Brown also argued that a flat-screen television was the best option because he lived in a “cramped flat”.

Therefore according to that logic, I can also have a flat screen telly as I live in a small flat as well. Brilliant, oh hang on I am not a grasping MP, so no.

When his £3,604.99 claim for a television, DVD and digital radio was queried, he wrote: “As a Scottish MP, I can only keep in touch with events during the day, which might affect my constituents, by tuning into the Scottish radio stations which the digital set provides.

“Likewise, I record the Scottish TV news and Scottish current affairs programmes, which feature issues in Scotland and in south Edinburgh. In a cramped London flat, flat-screen TV is the sensible option.”

Unimpressed, the fees office wrote back four days later to tell him it had not changed its mind: “Whilst we understand your explanation for the need for the purchase of these items, it is the level of your purchases that remains under question. “An amount of £3,604.99 is not considered to be an appropriate use of public funds when other more reasonably priced options are available.”

Mr Griffiths was asked to contact the director of operations if he wanted to argue the matter further. He did not do so. In November 2004, the MP successfully claimed £9,250 to redecorate the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom in his London flat, £220 for a carpet and £230 for pots and kitchen utensils.

Six months later, he claimed again for redecoration and was reimbursed by the fees office for £4,911. Mr Griffiths redecorated a third time in 2006 and charged the taxpayer £3,310, which was approved.

Nigel shagging in The Commons.

The Rt Hon member for bathmats, lawnmowers and hedge trimmers.Roger Godsiff was already claiming his maximum second home allowance to cover the interest on a large mortgage for his home in London when he made dozens of claims for 'office sundries' on his office expenses.

He also used office expenses for extensive roofing work, rewiring, replacement guttering and even clock repair at a property he owns in his Birmingham constituency.
The former bank clerk used the maximum Additional Cost Allowance (ACA) in the four years between 2004/5 and 2007/8 by claiming around £1,900 a month for the mortgage interest and around £400 a month for a secured loan on his detached house in Lewisham, south-east London, which he designated his second home.

The total monthly claims of around £2,300 were so large that the maximum ACA was not enough to cover all his annual repayments.

In total Mr Godsiff claimed £86,919 over four years in second home costs for the house which is in the area in which he grew up and began his political career and where his wife and family are listed on the electoral roll.

He only turned up for only 49 per cent of House of Commons votes, spoke in just four debates and asked a mere nine parliamentary questions but claimed £163,885 in total expenses, including travel, home, office and staffing costs.

Mr Godsiff used his Incidental Expenditure Provision (IEP), which is designed to cover office costs such as stationery and leaflets, to claim for watch batteries costing £28.80, CD polish for £3.99, a £130 leather armchair and £124.40 claim for "stationery" which, according to the receipt, included £18.90 for Nurofen painkillers.

He submitted eight claims from home furnishing chain Dunelm Mill under the heading 'office sundries' even though one of the receipts was clearly marked 'cushion covers' costing £18 and another for "S/S Rev B/Mat Cream" for £13.98, two cream-coloured bathroom mats.

He claimed £29.99 for "sundries" on his office expenses on a receipt from Focus DIY marked "AHS 4-16 H/TRIM", a Bosch AHS 4-16 hedge trimmer. In 2007 he made a similar claim for "sundries for office" but submitted a receipt for £69.98 from the south-east London branch of B&Q marked "Concorde 320". This was for a Qualcast Concorde lawnmower with 320mm blades.

No wonder he tried to cover up MP's expenses, the cunt.

Worthless scum cost the public money....
At least 13 MPs have received windfalls worth thousands of pounds to give up their right to cheap rent in a deal that led to taxpayers paying substantially more for their second homes.

The Dolphin Square estate in Westminster — originally owned by the council — had for many years provided low-cost accommodation for dozens of MPs. However, after the estate was bought by a private company, all tenants were offered a lump sum in exchange for either moving out, or paying a higher rent.

Many MPs accepted the windfalls and stayed in the flats while the taxpayer picked up their higher rental bills.

At least one MP is said to have taken a “six-figure sum” to move out.

MP's who helped fuck over the taxpayer: Joan Humble, Dai Havard, David Lidington, Paul Holmes, Sir Patrick Cormack, Sir Menzies Campbell, David Wright, Sir Alan Beith, Tony Wright (Great Yarmouth ), Andy Burnham, Richard Younger-Ross, Sandra Gidley, John Barrett.

New Labour scum happy to kill patients so targets can be met.An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has found that thousands of 999 patients are being left to wait in ambulances in car parks and holding bays, or in hospital corridors – in some cases for more than five hours – before they can even join the queue for urgent treatment.

Experts warn that hospitals are deliberately delaying when they accept patients – or are diverting them to different sites – in order to meet Government targets to treat people within fours hours of admitting them.

The extent of the problems have been revealed in correspondence between senior health officials, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, which also show their serious concerns about the dangers the delays pose to patients.

A letter by Sir Graham Meldrum, chairman of West Midlands Ambulance Service, sent to hospital chief executives last November warns that patients are "being put at risk on a daily basis", with 7,600 patients a month facing delays of more than 30 minutes – a situation which has since deteriorated, with more than 8,000 such delays in March.

The documents also reveal an investigation into the death of a patient who waited three hours to be seen by A&E staff after being taken by ambulance to The Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals Trust.

On two occasions in January, ambulances took more than five hours to unload patients at Queen's Hospital in Romford, Essex....

Hat tip to Dazed & Confused for the pic of Frank
Oh you have to be fucking shitting me on this!

Labour MP Frank Cook claimed on expenses for a £5 church donation he made at a Battle of Britain memorial service, the Sunday Telegraph reports.

The MP for Stockton-on-Tees submitted the 2006 claim with a handwritten note, but it was later rejected by the Commons Fees Office, the paper says.

Mr Cook said he did not recall the claim and described it as "a mistake".

Mistake my arse, forgetting your phone or keys is a mistake. 

Filling in a form and then sending that off in order to get money back is not a mistake but a whole sequence of events.

Based on the recent events of MP's I would not be surprised or even shocked to find one(or more) engaging in child slavery and claiming it back on fucking expenses.

I know they said they did not do God, but I was not aware that they attempted to claim back donations made in God's house.

Mind he did sign a certain EDM praising the murdering dictator Fidel Castro to the skies. What a cunt.

Story from the Times....A British MEP uses his parliamentary staff allowance to pay three assistants who are also employed at an investment company in which he is a major shareholder.

Godfrey Bloom, the UKIP representative for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, who made headlines when he claimed that women do not “clean behind the fridge enough”, employs his 20-year-old niece and two other members of staff at TBO Investments.

Mr Bloom was director of research at TBO until he was elected to the European Parliament in 2004 and remained as a consultant until two years ago. He still owns 20 per cent of the company, which was fined £28,000 by the financial services regulator last October for “advice failings”.

Just one question for Godfrey, do they clean behind the fridge enough? Just asking is all.

Get this woman some Brasso for her brass neck. She used her second home allowance to spend more than £28,000 on stamp duty, legal costs and renovations despite telling the fees office that the property would become her main home.

Miss Barlow redecorated two bathrooms, claimed more than £1,000 for electrical work and spent thousands in removal fees.

She submitted a £540 bill for gardening and installed a porch door and submitted another £520 invoice for removing a shed from her new garden and getting rid of unwanted concrete.

In January 2006, Miss Barlow told the fees office she was nominating her new £555,000 house in Hove as her second home, with the intention that it would soon become her main house.

This allowed the MP to claim legal fees, stamp duty and her mortgage broker’s charges.

She also submitted a £2,890 bill for removal costs in the same form at the beginning of 2006. In all, she claimed £29,399 and was paid £13,881 by the fees office.

In May 2006, Miss Barlow submitted a £1,437 claim for moving furniture on her second home allowance.

Two months later, she claimed £5,565 which included £2,321 for “alterations to two bathrooms”, a £502 bill for storage and a £294 bill for a bed and a chair.

The MP was paid all but £446 of the bill.

In August 2006, Miss Barlow submitted an invoice from Bathstore which included a lavatory, basin, shower valve and a “high lustre silver” bath screen which came to £2,458.

Her total claim came to £5,183 and she was paid £4,935. She then submitted another claim which included £458 for a whirlpool bath, £574 for more bathroom goods and £1,183 for electrical services.

In all she claimed £4,181 and was paid £3,570 by the fees office, which took her to her maximum annual allowance of £22,110 five months early.

She loves ID cards and locking folk up without due process as she voted for 42 days.

Also she hates Gurkha's as voted to fuck them over.

Oh and the local paper covered her legalised theft of taxpayer cash.

I think that with a majority of just 420, she will not be returning to her life of ease and indolence come election day.

Charlotte Atkins MP, happy to have you pay to fix up her abode. Over four years, Miss Atkins carried out extensive work on her detached Edwardian red brick constituency house in Leek, Staffordshire.

Her first major application to the fees office came in March 2005 when she claimed £4,000 for pulling down and rebuilding the chimney and £15,000 for window repairs and replacement.

n March 2007, she claimed nearly £4,000 for work on the bathroom, replacing the shower and bath and three months later claimed a further £5,000 for tiling, a new bathroom suite and labour costs.
In October of that year she claimed £1,884 for gardening work, which was refused and in February last year claimed a further £5,000 to repair her bay windows.

She also likes ID cards, which shows she is an utter hoon.

Her generosity with regards pissing away taxpayers cash sadly does not go to helping OAP's who took up arms to defend her right to be a grasping cunt. She voted to fuck over the Gurkhas.

Her local paper is none to happy at her either!

Oh and don't phone up her up to complain, as she will cry and call out a policeman.

POLICE went to the home of a disabled pensioner after he left an angry message on MP Charlotte Atkins's answer phone.

Former Labour Party member Brian Turnock contacted Mrs Atkins after learning the Moorlands MP had claimed more than £440,000 of taxpayers' money over the past four years. But the retired builder had to leave a message after Mrs Atkins did not answer.

The 70-year-old, from Werrington, said: "I'm plain speaking. I can't remember exactly what I said, but I told her what I thought of her. I just said MPs were all scum for doing what they had and that they should be in jail.

"I then said, I hoped I would see her around some time.

"Mrs Atkins does know me, because we have clashed before, when I was a member of the Labour Party."

Mr Turnock – who left his message on Sunday – was furious when he was visited by police on Wednesday at the Ash Bank Road home he shares with his 65-year-old wife, Eileen.

Officers had been contacted by Mrs Atkins's staff on Tuesday.

The former Werrington parish councillor said: "Getting the police to investigate is a disgrace – an abuse of power. There are people getting robbed and they can't get a policeman to come out, yet she can get a policeman out for this."

Another one going to be resigning soon? Looks like the voters are picking up their pitchforks....

By April 2006, his mortgage interest costs were £1,203. Claimed for furniture, washing machine and microwave. Claimed between £200 and £400 a month in food.

Signed an EDM supporting mass murderer Che. Oh how happy the voters must be knowing he supports a chap who sent homosexuals off to their deaths.

But wait what is this? He also signed an EDM supporting masss murderer Fidel Castro. Alas no mention of human rights from him in support for jailed Cubans.

He voted to keep the 2nd home allowance for poor MP's struggling on a mere £64 grand a year.

Oh and he probably gets a full-on boner from the thought of us all being good communist citizens and having to carry ID cards.

.

Graham Allen claimed £495 for service charge on London flat and the maximum £400 for food on most occasions. Food claims reduced when he twice tried to claim over £500 a month.

So not satisfied with theft he tried to grab more free food out of taxpayers mouths. Still he is an MP, so we can expect no better.

Despite being on £64K a year he sees nothing wrong with robbing the taxpayer blind.

But like most evil MP's hates the idea of you seeing his theft and voted to protect MP's from FOI requests.

He like the idea of locking up people without trial and voted for 42 days detention.

Voted to keep 2nd home allowance.

Oh and he believes that Gurkha's who fought for this land should not live here, whilst pigs like him can rob the taxpayer blind. link to voting record.

Nick Ainger tried to claim £3,371 for furniture – including £768 for a Man Ray styling chair and £1,434 for a sofabed – but was paid £3,075

Voted to keep the 2nd home allowance that approves of MP's theft.

Voted for ID cards.

Loved the idea of throwing away due process and locking folk up for 42 days.

As if all that were not bad enough, whilst ensuring his sty was stocked with taxpayer funded furniture; this champagne socialist hog voted against letting the Gurkhas stay here in the UK.

Anyway I have put together a quick letter that shows what Nick is most likely thinking, but lacks the honesty to say.

Yet another grasping hoon that deserves to be voted out of The Commons.

Prescott's special friend...?

Miss Winterton’s claims, which are close to the maximum allowance for second homes, will raise concerns that some MPs spend large sums of taxpayers’ money on improving properties.

The Labour MP claimed £4,690 for “soundproofing of bedroom wall and redecoration to bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen, staircase” in February 2007.

The payment was reduced to £3,800 by the fees office after it refused to pay for soundproofing with acoustic felt and “acoustic mineral wool slabs”.

The labour and materials for the soundproofing cost £890.

Three months later Miss Winterton claimed £2,574 for installing a new television aerial and work on the front and back of the house.

Another claim for £550 at the same time repaired a leak from a lavatory, which caused “damp stains” on the ceiling of the room below.

Miss Winterton bought the flat in a tree-lined cul-de-sac in south London for £315,000 in 2003. The terrace house is now believed to be worth at least £380,000. In 2005, she submitted a bill from a garden landscaping firm for £3,000. The fees office withheld the payment on the grounds that it “may be considered excessive”.

The landscape gardener’s invoice included decking, 38 bags of gravel and deluxe trellis. “Please observe the quality of the trellis,” wrote the gardener. The fees office agreed to pay £1,700 after correspondence with the MP.

Other claims included £298 for linen and curtains from House of Fraser and £96 for towels, as well as £750 a month for mortgage interest. Last year, Miss Winterton also claimed £1,100 for a burglar alarm. Over four years, she claimed £86,277. “All my reimbursed claims were either for replacement items or for repairs and maintenance work,” said Miss Winterton.

There have been tales going around for a long time that her and John "2 inches" Prescott were fucking like overweight porcine politico's. If that is true it would go a long way to explain the reason why it needed to be soundproofed.

Oink oink..WWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I give it a week before it is moderated to buggery, adverse comments removed and becomes as censored as Paul Flynn's Read My Shit blog.

Or it may just vanish as suddenly as Ann Widdecombe off of Facebook!

Anyway here it is: http://nickclegg.wordpress.com/ 

Do pop over and join in with the many fine folk who are taking their ire out on the grasping hoon Clegg.

Nick has a few questions to answer on expenses

 and I have mocked him before for being a parasite.

Do take a look at Cleggovers blog, as he is being swamped with irate voters.

I do have a grudging respect in a way for him, it was either total stupidity or he really wanted to have lots of upset folk leaving comments.

It has been fun reading them.

The Mail Online is doing a very long article which goes on and on an on an on about Cyclops, the prop er loving comrade wife Sarah, the death of his daughter in 2002 and his two boys who were born after - all to be bundled up in a book being launched in a few weeks.

Will the book be called- Courage 2: Not using the wee bairns as political props unlike the evil David Cameron?

Then we have this where Gordon stated

"his determination to keep his young children out of the limelight."

I thought he was spending all his time saving the world and resolving all the evil problems that started in America. Not that he mentioned them starting in America when he visited Obama, just saying is all.

Do have a read on how Gordon is keeping the wee bairns out of the limelight, its enough to bring a tear to ones glass eye.

Comrade Lynne Jones, the far-Left Labour MP, billed the taxpayer more than £1,100 for upmarket Farrow & Ball wallpaper as part of a redecoration programme at her second home in London.

Miss Jones, a leading member of the Socialist Campaign Group founded by supporters of Tony Benn, gave her Lambeth flat a £22,000 facelift which also included £6,100 for a new bathroom, £600 for Persian rugs and £518 for an LCD television.

Almost £7,000 of claims for painting and decorating, furnishings and a new boiler were paid out.

The cost to the taxpayer would have been even greater if the parliamentary fees office had not refused to pay for other items deemed “excessive”, that included two limited edition etchings by the artist Phil Greenwood which cost a total of £725, and £1,105 of decorating work for which the bill was put in too late.
Between 2004 and 2008 she claimed a total of £61,468 in second home allowances for her London flat, where the mortgage interest repayments in 2008 were just £314 per month.
In the same period, Miss Jones claimed £5,074 for a painter and decorator. In addition she claimed for 11 rolls of block printed Farrow & Ball “St Antoine” wallpaper, at £63.99 per roll; eight rolls of Farrow & Ball Toile Trellis wallpaper at £52 per roll, and £71.50 for Farrow & Ball paint.

The mother of two also submitted two invoices for the refurbishment of a bathroom, totalling £6,100, £323 for two pictures, £1,298 for a bed from the Iron Bed Company, £600 for bookshelves and £878 for new floorboards. She claimed £600 towards the £1,300 cost of two Persian rugs.

An £815 bill for the replacement of two radiators was submitted twice and appeared to have been paid for twice.

Comrade Lynne also supported an EDM fawning over murdering sack of shit Che Guevara

I wonder if she knew about Che being anti gay what with her pro gay stance, I wonder how her socialist brain equates the two?

She also opposed sanctions on Cuba despite that nation breaking human rights laws and still holding political prisoners in gulags. Link.

Champagne swilling socialist scum Tommy McAvoy claimed £86,565 in second home allowances between 2004 and 2008 for his flat in Westminster

He sees nothing wrong with employing relatives on the state funded gravy train.

He voted to keep the 2nd home allowance.

Probably gets a boner over the idea of locking folk up for 42 days, yes he voted for it.

Tried to protect MP's from FOI requests.

Oh and wants us all to pay for Soviet style ID cards, no doubt he will claim his back on expenses.

As if all this did not portray him as an immoral grasping cunt not worthy to clean shithouses, he also voted against the Gurkhas being allowed to stay.

Laura who looks like some transvestite version of Eric Morecambe and who has one of the lowest majorities in The House at a piss poor 37, still loves living high on the hog at taxpayers expense.

She put through monthly invoices for her accommodation until February 2008, as well as utility bills and council tax, by which time the rent had increased to £1,473.

The MP was also reimbursed £11,750 for food between 2005 and 2008 – claiming the maximum £400 a month allowed in 27 of the 36 months.

Well why pay for food out of her humble wage of £64,000 pounds when the hard working taxpayers can feed her?

She claimed £473.41 on furnishings and homeware after moving into the flat, as well as £399 for a television.

Miss Moffatt put through a Boots receipt for a £19.98 hairdryer but the Commons fees office refused to pay it because personal items are not allowable under the additional costs allowance .

She claimed £31 for linen and bedding but moved out a week later.

She wrote a note to the authorities saying: “Will be (or trying to) find a cheaper option by staying in hotels. We shall see!” Next month she put through a £120 bill for a night in Waterloo.

She is not shy of trousering public money either having cleared a cool £145,846 in expenses for the year 2006/07. Still in the words of the "glorious leader" she can feel our pain during these hard times whilst Gordon saves the world.

Although she is rather shy of the freedom of information as she voted to cover up MP's privilage in the House of Commons.

Dennis Bates, who is married to the former foreign office minister Meg Munn, was paid to advise Mr Miliband, Gillian Merron, another Foreign Office Minister, and other senior government figures over several years.
Miss Munn worked at the Foreign Office along with Mr Miliband and Mrs Merron until last autumn.

Mr Bates, who is Miss Munn’s paid parliamentary assistant, has also been paid from the public purse to advise his wife on her tax returns.

Last week Miss Munn published her claims on her website, but she blacked out the section which disclosed that she paid her husband for tax advice using her expenses.

All the ministers have recouped the costs of employing Mr Bates from parliamentary allowances intended to fund office expenses. Mr Bates does not appear to work for a professional accountancy firm, although one minister has said that he used to work for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The disclosure of his role was made amid growing concern at HMRC over the expense claims – and tax affairs – of MPs. Revenue officials have begun a fresh inquiry into whether MPs should have paid tax on “excessive” expenses claims.

The investigation, which follows a series of disclosures in this newspaper, could lead to the MPs having to pay millions of pounds in tax.

Oh dear, the poor darlings will have to pay the same taxes that they impose on the rest of us.

.

Excuses time....An MP said he has repaid £2,450 after mistakes were made with his expenses.

David Kidney, Labour MP for Stafford, said the error came to light after he published his expenses on his website.

Mr Kidney said his council tax had been paid three times in error by the Parliamentary Fees Office and his water bill twice.

He said he was unaware of the office's errors and felt he had been let down. The fees office has apologised for the error.

Well that happens when under a system like ours, money is thrown at MP's with little or no checking.

But and this is the main point, why should an MP be getting his council tax paid anyway? 

What with the £64K a year they get, throw in travel allowances, food allowance and 2nd home allowance of £24K; these bastards are not short of a few quid.

We all have to pay our taxes, should not the law makers also have to pay them. Were that the case, they might have more interest in council/government waste and an interest in lowering the bills for everyone including themselves.

As for Kidneys claim this was a mistake, well I for one think that is bollocks.

.

First up we have the grafting MP's, who I have been insulting each an every day. Well me and the rest of the media/internet that is.

Today we have had this useless pair of fucking wankers step down. The usual cockwaving excuses, deep regrets, all within the rules, done nothing wrong etc etc. Fuck 'em. Seriously the odious pair of cunts are laughing at the lot of us.

Had they a scrap, just a scrap of moral decency they would do the correct thing. This is get plastered and then remove themselves from the gene pool with a service revolver.

They still have their jobs, have recieved nothing more than some work style "verbal warning", they will leave and collect a mother-fuckingly huge pension at the end of it, payment for all their "service" to the state. 

They and every other MP mentioned has escaped, not a one of them has been arrested as yet. 

Not one has faced their assets being seized by Soca – which last year replaced the Assets Recovery Agency, after it had spent £65 million to recover £23 million –which assumes that if someone has benefited from the proceeds of crime for more than six months, they are living "a criminal lifestyle". Everything they own can then be deemed to have derived from criminal activity.

Does anyone see the prospect of corrupt MP's following in the footsteps of Jonathan Aitken an doing some prison time? Me neither.

Then compare that with the treatment of us normal folk who break the rules.

I mentioned on this post the case of  Charlie & Charles Mcbride. Fishermen hauled up for  misidentifying catches of fish for which they had no quota under EU rules

...Their assets were thus valued at more than £1 million, including their boat and homes (valued at the height of the property boom). On this basis Judge Nigel Gilmour not only imposed on them fines of £385,000 – infinitely more than the value of the fish they had wrongly declared – but ruled that all their assets should be frozen as "proceeds of crime", even though the home and boat had been bought before the offences were committed. He also told the men that, unless they paid the fines within six months, they would go to prison for up to three years.

At their wits' end as to how to raise the money, the two McBrides negotiated a second mortgage on their homes. Charlie McBride presented Soca with £120,000, asking that it should be taken as a down-payment on the fine until he had somehow found the rest. The agency asked how he had come by the money and, when told that it came from remortgaging his house, told him that he would be charged with contempt of court because the house was a "frozen asset".

The original post by Christoper Booker is here.

When and only when the assets of MP's are seized, when they are arrested for fraud, criminal deception and plain old theft. When they lose not only their home, but the second home and the villa on the Costa-Del-Crime.

When the huge plasma telly, the bookcases, duck home, moat, electric gates, hell even Jacqui Smith's bathplug are siezed as proceeds of crime and MP's turfed out onto the streets in just the clothes they wear. Then and only then will we see some reform.

Hell screw that, take the fucking shirt off their backs; hell they have had ours!

One final point, anyone else remember these same MP's baying about Sir Fred and his pension? If not here is a little reminder from Harriet Harman MP.

 

Just look at the terms she threw about and compare that with our Rt. Hon. members:

• "money for nothing".  - Sounds like an MP.
•  ...he should agree to waive some of the cash, saying this was the most "honourable" thing to do.  - Some MP's have started handing money back.
  
• "Sir Fred Goodwin should not count on being £650,000 a year better off because it is not going to happen,"  - MP's are keeping quiet on their state funded pensions.
• "And it might be enforceable in a court of law, this contract, but it is not enforceable in the court of public opinion and that is where the government steps in."  - Will government be stepping in to remove stolen goods/money?

I am annoyed and off for a beer, sadly unlike them, I can not put that on the £400 a month food allowance we pay these scum.

Cashing in on the taxpayers....The former junior minister claimed more than £4,500 in MPs' expenses under the Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) for work on her home in her constituency of Enfield North, north London, which she had designated as her second home.

The Labour MP then wrote to the Commons fees office explaining that she wanted to designate her flat in south London as her second home.

During the 2007/8 financial year she claimed a total of £1,045 on home and garden repairs at the semi-detached home in Enfield that she shares with her husband and children.

This included £220 on garden fence repairs, £460 on clearing the back garden and path down the side of the house, £215 on further garden maintenance, £150 on repairing the garage door and £45 on cleaning the windows.

The following financial year Mrs Ryan claimed a total of £3,624 under the ACA for repair work, before she asked to redesignate her first and second homes. Her claim included £900 on new gutters and repairing her French doors, £1,888 on redecorating the living room, £246 on fixing a leaking shower, £462 on plasterboarding and skimming the dining room, and £55 on installing an outside socket.

In 2007, Mrs Ryan also claimed £135.14 for items from Ikea, including rugs, curtains, curtain poles, scissors, a table lamp, light bulbs and steak knives.

Since 2004 Mrs Ryan has claimed a total of £83,252 under the ACA.

In addition to the repairs and decorations, she claimed for mortgage interest payments and council tax. In May 2007 she voted in favour of David Maclean’s Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill, which would have kept details of MPs’ expenses claims secret.

GOT is on fine form with this one.

Did I say freebies, sorry actually it was free for him but you lot picked up the bill...
Andrew Smith, Labour MP for Oxford East, used the additional costs allowance (ACA) to claim for a new kitchen and bathroom as well as new windows, flooring, doors and hallway at his designated second home in Kennington, south London.

Although the work could only be carried out at the London home under Commons rules, receipts submitted to the fees office show that many of the purchases were made in Oxford, with the work carried out by Oxford-based builders. The MP claimed a total of £34,181.29 on repairs and renovations to the modest mid-terrace property between 2004 the year he resigned as work and pensions secretary, and 2008.

One claim, in February 2006, was for £2,364.91 and included the cost of a new dishwasher, oven, fridge, microwave, gas hob, and even a 50p carrier bag from Ikea.

Mr Smith bought the house in 1998 with his wife, Valerie, whom he employs with taxpayers’ money as his office manager and caseworker on a part-time basis.

Champagne socialism in action there folks as the wife is also on the state funded gravy train.

He submitted a number of claims for work he said was done at his London home, although his constituency home was given as the delivery or invoice address.

In November 2004 Mr Smith claimed £1,533.38 for “materials for bathroom” under the ACA. Yet the delivery address on the invoice — for items including a lavatory and a washbasin — was his address in Oxford. Several other products claimed were bought from shops in Oxford.
In December 2004 he claimed £5,287 (of which £3,500 was paid by the fees office) for “modernisation to bathroom”. However, he used a company that is based in Oxford and the invoice was addressed to his home in the city.

He also claimed £100.32 for some replacement tiles, which were bought from Topps Tiles in Oxford, and £802.34 for curtains bought at a Debenhams in Oxford.

In June 2007 Mr Smith claimed £128.08 for “adjusting lock after key failed”. Yet the invoice from the locksmith states that the work at the London address consisted of “gaining entry” to the residence after a “lock out”.

Yesterday, Mr Smith said: “I returned to the property at midnight from my office at the Commons. I had my keys. One key would not turn the lock. The locksmith filed a bit off one of the keys and then it worked.”

On Dec 14, 2005, the fees office wrote to Mr Smith asking him to pay back £981.73 as he had been claiming life assurance, which is not allowed under Green Book rules. Mr Smith said the claim was a “genuine mistake”.

We believe him, after all he is a Rt. Hon. MP!
