Check out the link below for the latest 'wheeze' by MPs to part the taxpaying citizen voter in the UK from their hard earned money!
It's easy really!
Invent a rule which states that if a debate lasts longer than 1.00a.m. any MP, (including those with second homes nearby!) any MP gets £130+ !!
Then toddle off the the taxpaying citizen subsided bar and get drunk!
The stagger back to the House of Cons as late as possible ensuring that the debate is delayed as long as possible!
(Optional) Slur speech and any questions to drag out the debate as long as possible! (Don't want the hardworking taxpaying citizen voter to spot the con, do we? HIC!)
Trouser the proceeds!
The Sheeple will never spot it!
WRONG!

The Fraudsters' Parliament? - 52
Up to their old tricks?!?
Apparently the Director of IPSA is leaving early because of the stress caused by MPs who reason that - now that the dust has died down re: MPs' expenses' frauds - they should be allowed to throw out the new regulatory system and get down to ssome serious 'hand in the till' fiddles!!
Read the story from a blog on the online version of the New Statesman by clicking on the link below;-
http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/mehdi-hasan/2010/06/alan-johnson-david-davis-quit
'Why else does one con the 'sheeple' into voting for one in an election? Would do the these taxpaying citizen voters expect - some sort of public service!'
'Are the sheeple SO stupid that they have not learned why WE go into politics!'
As you know, if you have read the 'about me' bit of this blog, I am a teacher in the real world!
Some sums!-
646 (The number of MPs in the last Fraudsters' Parliament) MINUS 226 (The number of 'new' MPs less a number of previous lobbyists, party lackies, party clones, party official etc. who cannot really be said to have known nothing of the parliamentary frauds) EQUALS 420 (MPs who somehow survived - all power to their 'conning' credentials - from the old Fraudsters' Parliament still in Westminster)
Thus the probabability that the new parliament will morph into The Fraudsters' Parliament - Part Deux exceeds 50%!
Q.E.D
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION NEWS!
Heather Brooke has won another award! This time it is the IRE (Investigative Reporters and Editors) Awards in the USA. She has been awarded a medal in the Freedom of Information Section - rightly deserved too is the opinion of this taxpaying citizen voter! No mention of course in the recent UK honours announcements ....... I wonder why?

The Fraudsters' Parliament - 46
I decided to do a little research on how my MP in my constituency voted in parliament in the various votes on matters of transparency particular in relation to MPs and their financial arrangements in parliament!
Thanks to the kind people at http://www.democracyclub.org.uk/
They have sent out questionnaires to as many parliamentary candidates as they could. They have an interesting bar chart showing the number of prospective MPs who have replied. Not ALL parties seem to want to tell us what theey think on certain key matters!
They provided the link so that I could find the voting record of my MP on matters of parliamentary transparency which will take you to http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/.
Click on the link below to be taken to the site. To find out how your candidate voted.... or made themselves scarce... click on the link and put in your postcode in the appropriate box.

The Fraudsters' Parliament- 24
I had an email from the House of Commons Information Office earlier today following my question about the lack of information about Harriet Harman!
Doh! She did not have pay back any expenses because she is an Inner London MP and therefore not eligible for the claims made by MPs' outside of London.
One black mark against John for not realising this, but a merit point for the parliamentary information team for their speedy response which was well within the 10 day limit!
Might I suggest that this team take over overview of any future payments to MPs?....... those MPs who are still in post after the election, and still this side of prison bars when the full deployment of the Fraud Act 2006 has been made, that is!
I picked up on an interesting article in The Guardian re. MPs and their 'flipping' ('fraudulent claiming on multiple houses' to we taxpaying citizen voters!)
It is about getting back the profit that has been made by MPs on the houses bought with my, and your, tax money!
