Is The United Kingdom A Laughing Stock?

As stocks tumble all around us, there is one thats increasing in public interest. The UK Laughing Stock!

Yep I’m talking about those people who we chose to represent us, and our future with a view of distributing our hard earned taxes fairly, in order to beneift those that need it and invest in our services. However, as the NHS is once again having to cut costs and staff numbers, our Members of Parliment think nothing of claiming a £50 call-out fee to fix their home cinema sound system and expecting us UK tax payers to pick up the bill.

What planet do these idiots live on?

Take Lord Foulkes for example… firstly what has he ever done to be graced with the title of Lord – other than sit in his big fat ass eating far to many pies. Lord Pucker maybe more appropriate! A nerve was obviously hit when he was interview by BBC News and rather than answer the question being posed, turned it on the TV presenter Carrie Gracie. See Interview.

He for one, I would like to see brought to justice if there is a case against him, by the Daily Mail’s Members of Parliment – Bring them to justice Order campaign. In my opinion Lord Fucks is simply using up oxygen that could and should be saved in order to help reduce green house gases. After all shit does produce carbon dioxide doesn’t it?

So what action will be taken?

Well, as expect pretty much nothing. Despite overwhelming evidence of crooked expenses claims among MPs, legal experts think it highly unlikely that police and the Crown Prosecution Service will bring criminal charges against any of them. And the police wonder why they have such a bad reputation lately?

If the government truely listens to what the people, whom it is meant to represent, want then they have to act accordingly. The general consensus is that prosecutions are brough against these money laundering tossers, as the polls show.
poll Is The United Kingdom A Laughing Stock?

Therefore the Daily Mail and the Tax-Payers Alliance have launched a campaign for the private prosecutions of backbenchers and ministers who have pocketed thousands of pounds through dishonest claims. Why is it Police are arrested for inflating expenses, yet MP’s aren’t despite a poll showing what the public think!

What do you want to see done?
What if you’re not from the UK – what do you make of all of this?
Most importantly… what should I have for my tea? :)

    Well written Frostie.

    I think the Queen should consider dissolving parliament. He role is to sit above parliament and look out for the interests of the British people.

    The British people have never been that fond of our MPs, but there has never been a point in my lifetime when there has been such a complete loss of faith in our Parliamentarians.

    I recon we should all quit this affiliate marketing stuff and become MP’s :) On a serious note , we all know this is how the world works and unless something as dramatic as Nadeem suggests takes plase then the chances are we will just have to live with it.

    I’m sure over the next few weeks we will see a few more dismissals, the young mp taking some wrap and possibly someone doing a 6 month stretch at her majestys pleasure in return for a nice pay off somewhere down the line..

    Forget Tea, Lets all work harder and move somewhere MP and Tax free :)

    Not from the UK but the US ..

    Dear Cousins,
    My first thought was “SO. That’s where we got our Idiot politicians. We inherited the idea .. ”

    Second .. re: tea. Here in the states, we have started having Tea Parties to protest the workings of OUR idiot politicians. They are in honor of other British subjects who had the first one in Boston in 1773

    What gets me is when they are caught they say, ‘Oh we are going to pay it back’. They knew damn well what they were doing, when a thief gets caught, he/she does not have the option of saying, oops, i’ll pay it back. By claiming ‘it was a mistake I did not realise’ is a bit scarey as these are the people leading the country.

    Get the Queen to send them to the tower!

    as someone from a country where political scandals are daily routine – I’m surprised as to how this matter is being treated by the media, it’s like they are trying to stop the investigations. I get more information on the new developments reading foreign newspapers rather than the british ones. Just amazing

    Hero – the UK is a country where political scandals are a daily routine, the only difference is, we are only just learning about them!

    About time we took a stand, i’m flabberghasted that MPs have been able to get away with expensing this kind of thing, even bankers who have borne most of the brunt, wouldn’t think to expense fertilizer as an expense for them doing their jobs, surely the whole idea behind expenses is that expenses are directly related to the job they actually do, NOT so they can live lavish lifestyles at the expense of the pubic they serve. the sooner we’re rid of these corrupt Labour theives the better. (granted there are a fair proportion of Tories and other parties involved as well, but just compare what and how much these other parties have claimed versus the Labour party, amazing)

    They are all crooks, tripling their already healthy salaries by claiming for duck houses, tampax and filth channels. If ANY OF US claimed for anything on company expenses that wasn’t legitimate or DIRECTLY involved with the running of business, we would be sacked. No debate, just sacked.

    Our local MP has claimed for a Blu-Ray DVD player, 42″ tv and Surround sound system in order to play a DVD of a 3 minute interview he gave to the Local News channel.

    SCAMMING PIECE OF SH*T!

    The last person to enter Parliment with true, honest intentions was Guy Fawkes.
