Accountability is for the little people…….


Police Reform Conference – Jan 15th 2005

Speech by Hazel Blears – Police Minister.

“Accountability…. is vital for public confidence. And for our desire to increase community engagement. We want to clarify and strengthen the present arrangements. On a very basic level – people pay taxes and want to know that their money is making a difference”

All the Cabinet ministers accused of milking their allowances have denied any wrongdoing, with many instead accusing the Press of a smear campaign.

MP expenses storm breaks


The Telegraph has had the expenses leaked, with full details of the myriad expenses of the fat cat MPs.

The revelations came after The Daily Telegraph obtained copies of receipts relating to the expenses of current and former Cabinet ministers dating back to 2004.(The Daily Telegraph has seen uncensored copies of the receipts, which lay bare the extent to which MPs play the system to maximise the amount of money they can claim from the taxpayer. )

They also show that Hazel Blears, the embattled Communities Secretary, submitted claims on three different properties in the course of a year, while Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, repaid £1,700 that he overclaimed for council tax soon after it transpired that all MPs expense receipts would be published.

Lord Mandelson billed the taxpayer almost £3,000 for work carried out on his constituency home in Hartlepool less than a week after he announced that he was standing down as an MP. He later sold the terrace house for a profit of £136,000.
from the Times this morning

Also in the Telegraph this morning your best and worst value MP
Pictures here of extraordinary claims

Frankly they are being paid enough what the hell do they need to claim for windows and doors?

It seems even the Ginger Ninja Hazel Blears is ready to trough at expenses too

* Hazel Blears, the Communities Secretary, claimed for three different properties in a single year. She spent almost £5,000 on furniture in three months after buying the third flat in an upmarket area of London.

* David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, spent hundreds of pounds on gardening at his constituency home — leading his gardener to question whether it was necessary to spend the money on pot plants “given [the] relatively short time you’ll be here”.

* Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, changed his official “second home” designation four times in four years.

* Geoff Hoon, the Transport Secretary, also switched his second home, which allowed him to extensively improve his family home in Derbyshire before buying a London town house also funded by the taxpayer.

* Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary, Caroline Flint, the Minister for Europe, and Paul Murphy, the Welsh Secretary, also bought flats — or the freehold on a property they already owned — and claimed stamp duty and other moving costs. Mr Burnham warned the parliamentary authorities that his wife might divorce him if expenses were not paid promptly.


All this the day after Jacqui Smith has been shown to be milking the system telling one thing to her local council and another to the House of Commons.


We want a General Election now! Not in a years time.

Youre once twice three times a Hoonie

Thanks for nothing
That youve given me
The memories are all distasteful
And now that weve come
To the end of our gravy
Theres something
I must say out loud
Youre once, twice
Three times a Hoonie
Yes youre once twice
Three times a Hoonie

And I Hate you
When we are far apart
The moments I detest
With every beat of my heart
To flame you to burn you
To hate you to hate you
Theres nothing to keep us together
Youre once twice
Three times a hoonie
And I hate you
I hate you


To Geoff Buff Hoon

With apologies to Lionel Richie

Jacqui Smith , Hoist by her own petard

From the Times: Neighbours have alleged that Jacqui Smith stays at her London home for as few as two nights each week, despite claiming this is her 'main home' for expenses purposes

Now the question here is, She has a marginal 2500 majority or thereabouts, Just what does she think she is doing? Ticking the boxes and saying that Im doing alright Jack isnt ok. You see if she had accepted her grace and favour apartment, she wouldnt get a second home allowance.

Therefore we think it is a scam, Lets face it her husband must hate being at home doing the house husband stuff, hes too busy writing to the local paper. He is probably a robust social, and she a sensitive individual. ( Matrix Psychology)

So Jacqui How do you like the snooping neighbours now? You were the ones who said we should all look out for each other.
