Another day......
This blog could almost write itself at the moment.
Tony Mcnulty's been ordered to pay back £14,000 out of £72,000 expenses for his 'second home' - where his parents have been living.
Not even going to bother commenting on that one.

Open door policy on immigration
It seems that since 2000, Labour has had an open door policy on immigration, unbenowns to the public that voted for them, so as to create a multicultural society, remove any idea of British identity, and make the Conservatives look like racist bigots should they dare to raise any form of protest against it.

Utterly beggars belief. Sooner we dum this lunatic load of labour the better.

Jacqui Smith - another shining example
Jacqui Smith yesterday 'apologised' (no doubt through gritted teeth with both fingers firmly crossed - for claiming her sisters home in London as her primary residence, and her family home as her second home - in Redditch.
Mrs Smith will not have to pay back the £64,000 claimed!
“I don’t believe that making a different decision would have resulted in better value for money,” Smith said in a written response to the report. “I am disappointed that this process has not led to a fairer set of conclusions.”
Sounds like a sincere apology to me!

Let the squirming begin
Mps received a letter yesterday detailing the overpayments of expenses claimed, and asking to either repay, or say why they should not have to.
For a change, the sounds of politicians rushing to microphones is deafening - by its absence.
Yo can almost hear the squirming of bottoms on seats, as some, reportedly, face repayments of anything up to £200,000.
Some are threatening legal action (so it is rumoured), saying that the expenses were all claimed within the rules.
Some are saying that the rules were so complicated, how were they supposed to understand them. Just a note to your good selves - you created them (duh!), and even if you couldn't understand them, what right did you have to take blatant and flagrant advantage of them.
Some are saying that the letter's not in fact a demand for repayment, its only for information, and that there could be no basis for enforcement.
They just don't get it do they. This has nothing to do with whether these 'expenses' were within the rules or not - its all about sticking fat snouts in the trough, and taking the electorate of this country for a ride. The whole system was corrupt (whether it stilll is or not remains to be seen), and any politician taking advantage to line their own pockets should be summarily booted out, with no end of term compensation packages or anything, and be forced to repay ALL expenses.
That would clean up politics faster than you could say Jack Flash.
Footnote - praise for Gordy and Cameron (for a change) - at least they will be returning any inappropriate expenses, Gordy £12,000 odd and Cameron has said to Conservative Mps 'Pay up, or you won't be standing at the next election'

Harriet Harman crash
Harriet Harman faces a police investigation for allegedly driving off after hitting a parked car as she chatted on her mobile.
The deputy Labour leader is said to have wound down her window, telling a witness, "I'm Harriet Harman - you know where you can get hold of me," before leaving the scene.
According to one person who claims to have seen the prang, she did not give her insurance details or registration to anyone.
No one was injured.
She was reported to ave been still on the phone after the accident.
Now, its a criminal offence to leave an accident scene with leaving personal and insurance details. Yet again, its one rule for them, and another for the rest of us. This is waht it sounds like to me."I'm Harriet Harman - you know where you can get hold ofme, I don't need to wait because I'm more important than you."
The police are said to be investigating this. Lets see what happens. One rule for you, another for you........

Policewomen childcare
Yet another groan I don't believe it moment.
" policewomen have been told they can't reciprocally look after each others children while they work, because the childcare they receive from the other parent consitutes 'reward', unless they register as child minders
The rules also state that you have to be a registered child minder if you look after somone elses child for more than 2 hours, or if its after 2.00 in the morning. No more sleep overs then.
For crying out loud. On the one hand they want to try to get mothers working again, on the other hand they they put as many barriers as possible in the way of doing so.
Oh, I wonder what the fee for registration is?

Some Labour conference ideas
So, every old age pensioner in the country is to get free home care.
How? Who's going to pay for it? It won't really be free will it?
Crackpot idea from a dieing government.
