Allowancesgate: Lib-Lab-Cons scam the taxpayer - again!


We’ve known for years that the corrupt Lib-Lab-Con parties have been ripping-off the taxpayer using the “rented office” scam – the national media have known too! Yet it is only now that the latter, perhaps emboldened by revelations concerning a whole raft of perceived Westminster frauds, have decided to “go public” on the issue. Whatever their reason for doing so, such public disclosure is to be welcomed.

So how does this odious little Parliamentary/Brussels scam work?

Well - we’ll tell you: A MP or MEP rents an office in his/her local party’s constituency building. In actual fact the “office” need not be more than a desk in one corner of a room – but tends to be a room that also doubles as the MP’s/MEP’s surgery, to which the public is allowed access at certain specified times, to consult their elected representative. Nothing wrong with that, of course – but here comes the “nice little earner”, as Arthur Dailey would have put it:-

The provision of this “service” can come with a hefty price tag. The facility is often rented out at a very steep rent – substantially higher than other comparable office accommodation in the immediate area. The reason, you see, is that our MP or MEP doesn’t pick up the tab for the rent – YOU, the taxpayer, do - as it is paid by The House/Brussels as an “expense” from public funds!

It is understood that this rental income, more often than not, goes to fund the local party but there are rumours of “kick backs” – where some of the taxpayer money received is “refunded” by the local party to the “enterprising” claimant MP’s/MEP’s themselves!

There are other variations on this, totally legal, but morally reprehensible, scam.

One media report on this deception begins:

“MPS have been accused of funding their political parties “via the backdoor” after it emerged that millions of pounds of taxpayers’ cash have been paid to parties in rent”

“More than a quarter of members hire party-owned offices out of their expenses – at a significantly higher cost than colleagues renting from independent landlords. This means that the parties are able to swell their coffers through legitimate use of the expenses system.”

So what is the significance of this story – a significance that could explain media reluctance to report on it earlier? Well, it is this:-

Up, until now, the media have restricted themselves to exposing the questionable activities of individual MPs or groups of MPs. However, these latest revelations prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Lib-Lab-Con parties are institutionally corrupt from top to bottom. The Westminster malaise is NOT restricted to a handful of “bad apples” but is representative of the Establishment three party cartel that itself is utterly corrup - a fact confirmed by the apparent reluctance of the three party leaders concerned to either appologise for this scandal or to refute it!

  1. The reason why the national media are “going public” with this particular scam is that they’re hedging their bets. The “Glenda Slagg” column in “Private Eye” satirises their duplicity–lambasting a particular public figure one week and singing his/her praises the next, or vice versa. The rise and rise of the BNP has clearly not escaped the notice of the media and it would appear that, in this instance, albeit an infinitesimally small gesture, they have decided that they will no longer stand absolutely 100% behind the LibLabCon gang but will, on this occasion, tentatively begin to echo the BNP’s criticism of LibLabCon corruption.

    We can rest assured that, when we do take power, the national media will be unrestrainedly effusive in their praise of us. Personally, I wouldn’t trust any of the two-faced malefactors as far as I could throw ‘em.

  2. Solidarity, the British Workers Union will be busy on and around ‘Workers Day’. Being a member of Usdaw for years I found them (Usdaw) absolutely useless when it came to crunch time in the dairy industry. Now as a former agricultural worker I am a committed member of this new union and wish them every success in their recruitment campaign.

  4. I love the adjective MALEFACTOR Noel. This sums up the person perfectly. As for the totality, there must be a collective noun eg; ‘A prostitution of malefactors’. I’m sure out there in the www ether someone can improve.
    Let’s see what we “knuckle draggers” can come up with.

  6. Might I point out an excellent website - the quite aptly named:

    http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/

    Here you can find out everything you might need to know about your MP–how they have voted, their early morning motions, and a break down of their costs! Search by your postcode and everything is there. It’s a revealing and entertaining read, especially when coming up to elections!

  7. With regard to the press and the lack of investigitive journalism it is very noticable that when it involves the BNP or any story that suits the current government or the understudies they are prepared to go to any lengths to find a story. Perhaps we should stop buying papers until they show themselves to be impartial.

    The game is up liblabcontrick!

  10. baz: thanks for your comment. I was thinking of newspaper owners and editors. The best collective term I can find for them would be an “execration of malefactors”, since they are so often malevolently disposed to those about whom we read in their papers, and the bulk of what they produce is the literary equivalent of excrement. For newspaper journalists, it would be a “cathardity of journalists”, the word cathardity deriving from the zoological name of the family of birds to which vultures belong. I can’t see either of these terms coming into common use but it’s good for a laugh innit!?

  11. What can be done to stop abuse of power? Obviously politicians are totally unable to stay on the straight and narrow and will look to line their pockets at any given opportunity. So maybe some sort of “scruples police” need to be brought in to tutor these worthless scum in the ways righteousness! Nothing too difficult–just the basics between what is right and what is wrong, you know, the stuff every child has mastered by the time they are 8!
