Allowancesgate: Why should we have to pay towards Cameron’s second-home?


david-cameron-money.jpgIt occurs to us that if David Cameron, Tory Party Leader and claimed supporter of the communist infested UAF gang, needs a second-home in his Witney constituency then he and/or the Tory Party, should pay for it – not the taxpayer! It was, after all, Cameron’s decision to stand for election in that constituency – he must have known that commuting was involved between there and The House - so why should the taxpayer be penalised? Furthermore why, we ask, should Cameron not be obliged to repay the huge amount of taxpayers’ money spent on his second-home – rather than, as matters currently stand, being allowed to retain every penny of profit should he sell that property?

And we are not talking peanuts here either - between Q1 2001 and Q1 2007 Dave is recorded as claiming around £120,000 from the taxpayer in Additional Claims Allowance (ACA) - normally claimed by MPs in respect of their second-homes - alone!

In our opinion, David “Hug-a-hoodie” Cameron should be called upon to demonstrate his commitment to the public good and what better way than by undertaking to repay all public monies claimed in respect of his second-home – plus the accrued compound interest – on sale or transfer of the property concerned!

Is that reasonable or is it reasonable? Over to you Dave!

In the meantime readers may find the following related article to be of some interest:-

“David Cameron’s mortgage costs taxpayers £21,000 a year, it was revealed yesterday. The first published breakdown of MPs’ expenses also showed that Gordon Brown charged £15,000 to fit out his London flat for his family.

The Prime Minister claimed £2,300 for food and £4,980 for cleaning.

He and Tony Blair claimed for their television licences, Sir Menzies Campbell put in for laundry costs and John Prescott charged for £4,000 worth of food in one year - £80 a week.
The average household spends £2,444 a year.

Details of how senior MPs fund their living costs were disclosed by Commons Speaker Michael Martin under pressure from campaigners.

The figures raise awkward questions for the party leaders and will intensify pressure for sweeping reform of the way MPs pay themselves.

The House of Commons released a partial breakdown of how a group of MPs claim the Additional Costs Allowance, which gives them up to £22,000 a year to help with the cost of running two homes. “

  1. Dave the Twit comes from a wealthy family well-able to afford to pay for his property himself. You don’t get into the Bullingdon Club at Oxford University unless you have oodles of cash. The cheek of it! The arrogant abuse of public funds may be within the rules of the House of Swine but that does not make it acceptable to the man in the street.

    BTW there is a prison near Oxford called “Bullingdon Community Prison “. The likes of Dave the Twit need to do some community service there!

  2. When when when are the British people going to wake up and realise that the people who are supposed to serve them are taking the **** out of them?

    They are robbing us left, right and centre by crucifying us with taxes, lying to us to start wars, and stripping away freedom after freedom and still the British people meekly vote for them.

    What will it take for our people to give these charlatans the boot by voting in the only party who will put duty to their country before all else - The BNP.

  3. Anyone who still insists on voting Tory (or Lib/Lab) after hearing this news, is a bigger fool than even I thought possible. Why on earth does an immensely wealthy individual like Cameron claim for a TV licence? It beggars belief that he can be so wicked, greedy and politically naive. The same goes for that swine Blair but it did not surprise me in the least with him, as I think he had disadvantages - being insane.

  4. They’ve been dumping on us for years. Soon it will be our turn to dump on them.

  5. John Prescott charged four thousand pounds for food in one year?
    Surely you mean one week!

  6. From the look on “Dave boys” face above, it looks like he just heard the news of his claims going public, wet himself and is trying hard to cover it up.

  7. These thieving tight gits should pay their money back for the TV licence. Why on earth should they get away with that?…Nothing like rubbing our noses in it is there.

  8. As I pointed out on another site.One has to be fair to Prezza. Indeed he spends £4000 of our money on food, but no doubt this is only a fraction of his overall expenditure on food.
    £4000 hardly covers his mid morning snack. Whatever happened to him? I have not seen or heard of him for months perhaps he exploded. Still thats enough of the good news.
    Boy dave paying back his ACA!!! Thats as plausible as commie Ken winning a third term without electoral fraud.

  9. I know a little about tax. One of the tests that determine whether an expense may be offset for business purposes is to ask if the person would have incurred that expense regardless. A businessman, for example, cannot claim for the cost of a suit because everyone has to wear clothes. A protective mask, however, may be allowed because it is not a normal item of clothing.

    I cannot think of any reason, therefore, why an MP should be able to claim for food.

  10. Well how very strange - the Guardian is running this story but not allowing comments to be added , wonder why ??!?

  11. I have said this before, but here goes again. Anyone with a modicum of understanding of this corrupt, evil system, will see that whether it is Cameron, Brown/Blair, or the other lot, they represent a single, Tri-Partate dictatorship. Thus, as the old Communist system proved, they made, and this lot are making, the most of the last gasp of what is laughably called the ”Liberal Democracy”. Anything they can grab hold of, in terms of capital gain, benefits of political office, or their ‘’skills” as politicians after they have left office, will help them. As many in the BNP have said - forget it, we will see these people hang or imprisoned for what they have done in the last forty plus years.

  16. It is logical that David Cameron does not want to pay for the BBC Propaganda. Why should we either?

    Let us hope he will support the abolition of the Public Subsidy (Sorry License Fee) to the BBC. Some of the money could go to SKY as they appear to be featuring the BNP.

    Let the BBC bite the “Hand that Feeds Them”.

  17. If a person wants to represent a constituency in Parliament he/she should be prepared to reside in that constituency. If he/she won’t live there, why does he want to represent it? And as for MPs from the sticks needing somewhere to stay whilst they’re in London–the country should purchase/build a couple of tower blocks conveniently situated near the House of Commons and allocate to each MP a bedsite for his/her use. Of course that’d not be popular with the gluttons from the commons–it reduces their scam opportunities.

  18. Bang on BC1959 ! We’re talking about a “parasite” here. Him, and his ilk, who have stolen this country and its people blind and whose only interest is to wallow in wealth, quotes Searchlight/UAF drivel parrot-fashion, doesnt give a stuff about road traffic laws [why wasn't he arrested? I would have been!], and has conspired to sell OUR Country out to Europe, AND to immigrants! Wake up Cons voters, and join the revolution! VOTE BNP

  19. I’d do anything for a bunch of money and a free widescreen plasma tv. It’s a matter of principle. And I mean that most sincerely. From P.C. Toff, hot air machine and complete nitwit; but good with money.

  20. These all-party snouts gorging in the trough of our taxes, it’s their bribe to go quietly into the Soviet EUnion.

    Thirty pieces of silver, each.

  21. The MPs are a disgrace, more interested in pilfering the public funds than serving the public! Hopefully the British people are starting to wake up to the destruction of our nation, and that the BNP are the only party speaking the truth!

  22. Just how much do these thieving scumbags want to steal from soft “Johnny English” while they sell our land from under our feet, and as they grovel for even more money from the Saudis? Blair stands out in all of this shower of filth: son Euan away in Yale university–how did an idiot like him get in there? Cherie creaming us out of legal aid (that we aren’t entitled to, though foreigners get it); nice one! Tony fixed her and her legal business up well! What did she make last year–£8million or more? I think that should go to the families of the soldiers you have killed and maimed in your illegal war.

  23. I seem to remember that the pigs in George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” did very nicely indeed, at the expense of all the other animals,
    once they had taken control.

    It didn’t end very well for them, though, did it?

  24. I recall a TV news item of `Dave` travelling to work on the tube to show he is like us common people.
    What they plainly didn`t show was the fact that no one else was permitted to be on the tube train with him!
