(2010) New Labour M.P. Harry Cohen -PARASITE

The Labour MP Harry Cohen was today ordered to forfeit his £65,000 resettlement grant for a “particularly serious breach” of parliamentary rules.

The Commons Standards and Privileges Committee ruled that he designated a house in Colchester, Essex, as his main home even though he was not living there for long periods and rented it out.

“Mr Cohen’s breach was particularly serious and it involved a large sum of public money,” the committee said.

“Withholding of the resettlement grant is a severe sanction, which will effectively recover from Mr Cohen a similarly large sum of public money.”

(2010) Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate David Jack -STEPS DOWN OVER RACIST EMAIL

The Liberal Democrats have launched an investigation into the incident after learning about it earlier today.

A spokesperson said: “We were first alerted to this email exchange earlier today. David Jack is no longer a parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Democrats and we have launched an immediate investigation.”

Channel 4 News Political Correspondent Cathy Newman has spoken to Mr Jack, who denies sending the email, which contains sexually offensive and racist language – although he admits it did come from his official email account. Mr Jack said he had been drinking in Stoke last Friday night when the email was sent at 10.24pm but he was nowhere near his home computer in Cheshire.

The email contains the following sentences (we have removed any reference to the recipient to protect their identity, but Channel 4 News can confirm it was sent to someone with a name of Asian extraction).

Warning: you may find the language used extremely offensive.

“…if I was you I would f*** back off to the hills of tora borro (sic), I have your home address, you are f***** sunshine, we shall see who has got balls now you two faced lying f****** paki… your cards f*****… prison awaits you b** boy. Think your (sic) brave, you don’t know the line you have crossed you f*** witt (sic) – keep looking over you shoulder theif! (sic)”

MPs Get £7,000 Postage per Year — But Our Soldiers’ Postage is to be Taken Away

The decision to slash British military mail services in Europe and America has been slammed as “venal” and “vile”.

To save money, subsidised postage is being withdrawn from service personnel and families based from Naples to Brussels.

It also means their relatives in the UK will have to pay the full rate to send parcels and letters overseas.

The cutback has left one MEP furious that Westminster apparently keeps a first-class service for itself, while expecting those in uniform to pay more to keep in touch with loved ones at home.

Godfrey Bloom, UKIP member for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, has lambasted the slashing of British Forces’ Post Offices (BFPO).

“When the servicemen and women of our country are fighting and dying for this government’s dubious honour, it treats them with the contempt it has shown across the board,” he said.

“The BFPO has for decades provided a lifeline that is utterly vital in maintaining moral and now they want to cut it.

“MPs have granted themselves £7,000 a year postage – but they seem to be happy to put extra costs on service families. How typical, how venal, how vile.”

(2009) New Labour M.P. Harriet Harman -WANTS TO LEGALISE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

Harriet Harman’s political judgement has been called into question after it emerged that she once advocated the watering down of child pornography laws.

The Leader of the House of Commons and Minister for Women and Equality, who also sits on a Cabinet committee on young people’s welfare, is being touted as a possible successor to Gordon Brown, .

But she faces fresh criticism from Opposition MPs and campaign groups after The Daily Telegraph obtained documents showing that she called on ministers to make sexually explicit photographs or films of children legal unless there was evidence that the subject had been harmed.

At the time she made the official submission, she was a senior figure in a civil liberties organisation that wanted the age of consent to be lowered to 14 and incest decriminalised. It also defended self-confessed paedophiles in the press and allowed them to attend its meetings.

Last night Tim Loughton, the Shadow Children’s Minister, said: “Clearly there is a serious conflict of interest with the committees she sits on, who might want urgently to clarify her position on the exploitation of children for the sexual gratification of adults.

“It’s a shame that Miss Harman’s zeal for positive discrimination and all things politically correct among adults does not extend to the exploitation of children. Any child who is used for the sexual gratification of adults counts as an abused child and needs protecting.”

cpexposed.com subject to takedown notice -COMMON PURPOSE LINKS WITH PAEDOPHILIA

[The following is taken from http://www.cpexposed.com/ ]

“Please spread the word as fast as possible:

cpexposed.com has been taken down by the web hosting company, Hostgator, as the result of a complaint by Common Purpose alleging copyright infringement.

The notice from Common Purpose can be downloaded from here: http://dmca.hgfix.net/cpexposed.com/cpexposed.com.pdf

We are puzzled since all the documentation is in the public domain, and has been for some considerable time.

Maybe this has happened because we recently posted information from Common Purpose’s own website showing the links between the Scottish paedophile James Rennie and the Common Purpose organisation. Are we getting too close to the truth? How many other paedophiles are protected by Common Purpose networks and their secretive Chatham House confidentiality rules?

Spread the word. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.”

The State’s War Against the People: the Cost of locking up foreign prisoners hits £292m

That is the cost of holding the 7,500 immigrants from 160 different nations who arrive in this country and then go on to commit crimes.

New figures released by the Ministry of Justice show that foreigners make up almost one in ten of all prisoners held in the jails of England and Wales.

Their combined total would almost completely fill Belmarsh, Brixton, Dartmoor, Manchester, Pentonville, Wormwood Scrubs, Whitemoor, Risley and Liverpool jails.

The foreign prisoners have been jailed for almost 900 sex offences, more than 2,000 drugs crimes, 1,500 violent attacks including murders and more than 900 cases of fraud or forgery.

Officials, who say a prison place costs the taxpayer around £39,000 per year, also gave details of the country of origin of the convicts.

PIG “Baroness” Scotland ‘never considered resigning over illegally employed housekeeper’

Baroness Scotland never considered resigning as Attorney General amid the row over her illegally employed Tongan housekeeper, she disclosed during an appearance on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.

Lady Scotland was fined £5,000 for failing to keep photocopies of documents she claims she was shown by Loloahi Tapui, who was charged with fraud and immigration offences.

In her first major broadcast interview since the affair came to light, Lady Scotland told interviewer Kirsty Young she was “very, very sorry” for the distress she caused to her family and accepted she had breached the rules.

But asked if she ever thought about “jacking it in” as political opponents called for her resignation, she responded simply: “No.”

Lady Scotland said: “It was a very difficult time and I clearly accepted that I should have taken a photocopy of the passport. I didn’t.

“That was wrong. I was fined. I accepted it. The thing I was really worried about was the impact it had on my family.

“My family have been amazing and I am very grateful to them and I am very, very sorry that an oversight on my part, a genuine mistake, has caused them a great deal of distress.

This parasite, this criminal, need not have contemplated resignation. Evidence shows that those within governance in this country are above the law. They have different rules to those forced upon the People. She was fined £5,000 for employing an illegal immigrant -while any member of the public can expect a £10,000 fine. One rule for one, another rule for the others.

The British Army would be well within its right to seize the power of these criminals -just as it is fighting against “terrorists” in the Middle East. It seems the REAL terrorists are in Britain, terrorising the People.

Poet laureate attacks Afghanistan war in Christmas poem

Carol Ann Duffy, the poet laureate, has launched a scathing attack on MPs “milking” expenses, the conflict in Afghanistan and the state of modern Britain in a grim version of the Christmas song, The Twelve Days of Christmas.

n the poem, Duffy also criticised the war, bankers’ bonuses, celebrity culture and the slow response to the threat of global warming.

But it is the war, which has claimed the lives of 236 British soldiers – almost half of them this year – that she chose to dwell on.

The first verse pictures a soldier, spied upon by a “buzzard on a branch” rather than a homely partridge in a pear tree, who is looking at a photograph of his children. It implies he will soon be dead.

Duffy returns to the subject with dreadful repetition in the ninth verse – as if to underline the way the news has been constantly punctured with reports of those killed.

She focuses on the women whose lives have been torn apart by the death of a husband or boyfriend.

“But the dead soldier’s lady does not dance,” begins the ninth verse, which traditionally celebrates “Nine ladies dancing”.

She goes on to list other women in today’s Britain who do not dance, including “the honour killing lady”, “the lady in the filthy hospital ward” and “the lady with the pit bull terrier”.

Fraud charges in MPs’ expenses row move step closer as police send four files to prosecutors

Up to four MPs and peers are to face fraud charges over the expenses scandal by early in the New Year, it emerged today.

In a move which shook through the political establishment, detectives have referred case files on four parliamentarians to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Police believe there is sufficient evidence to bring criminal charges in each of the cases, sources said.

 

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer QC, is expected to rubber stamp charges against the politicians by February.

Such a development would result in the highly embarrassing spectacle of MPs and peers appearing in court before next May’s expected General Election.

The politicians could face charges of fraud or false accounting, with maximum penalties of ten or seven years. There was no official word today on which cases had been sent to the CPS.

However it is known that police believe there is strong evidence against Labour MPs Elliot Morley and David Chaytor, and Labour peer Baroness Uddin, and that such cases were likely to be in the first batch of files to be considered by prosecution lawyers.

Other politicians believed to be under police investigation include Labour MP Jim Devine, Lord Hanningfield and Lord Clarke of Hampstead.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: ‘The Metropolitan Police Service has today delivered four main files of evidence relating to parliamentary expenses to the Crown Prosecution Service.

‘The files relate to four people, from both the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and will now be subject to CPS consideration on whether there should be any charges.

‘A small number of cases remain under investigation.’

Sing a Song of Parliament

benefit-thieves

Sing a song of Parliament,

Pockets full of cash,

Fraudulently claiming

And adding to their stash.

With their ploy discovered

They said they’d give it back.

If you or I had done the same

We’d promptly get the sack!

 

Sing a song of freebies,

Snouts all in the trough.

Giving back their ill got gains

Is just not good enough.

Sponging off our earnings

With a likely tale,

If working folk had done the same

They’d soon end up in jail.

 

Sing a song of fraudsters

Counting out their money.

They smile and look quite unashamed,

As though they think its funny.

Sitting in a secret place,

Counting out their dosh,

On plugs for baths and cleaning moats,

For crisps and orange squash.

 

Sing a song of MP’s

Who took us for a ride.

It’s up to us election time

Their future to decide.

It’s gone too far to bring back trust

Of anyone in power.

To most of us they’ll always be

A shifty, crooked shower!!
