Hazel Blears is so far off the moral compass it’s fucking unbelievable.
Having been exposed for abusing the expenses system by designating a flat she owned as her second home so she could claim £850 per month in mortgage payments on her expenses and then avoid paying capital gains tax when she sold it for a £45k profit, she has said that she understands “hatred” of the expenses system and that the system is wrong and needs changing.
No. Fucking no, you stupid fucking ginger chipmunk-featured fucking morally bereft fucking hypocrite. You knew the system was wrong, you knew that what you were doing was wrong and you knew the taxpayer would consider your expenses claim to be outrageous BUT YOU STILL DID IT. The system didn’t make you take advantage of a criminally slack expenses system, you made a conscious choice to abuse the system and to abuse the generosity and trust of the taxpayer.
The system doesn’t deserve to be hated, the corrupt MPs who have abused the system deserve to be hated and none more so than the ones like Blears who admit that they have acted in a morally reprehensible way but are trying to deflect attention from their corruption by blaming the system they abused.
Every MP that has abused the system should be fully investigated by the police and prosecuted for obtaining pecuniary advantage and malfeasance in office. They have obtained money and property by deception – a pecuniary advantage – and have abused the trust of the electorate to such an extent through their deception that they can no longer carry out their duties of an MP effectively – malfeasance in office.
My preferred punishment would be to string the thieving bastards up from the lamposts outside Westminster Palace.

Gosh you really are right-wing : )
I’m not sure you can kill people for being immorral – I don’t think any of them have actually broken any rules.
The fact that they themselves made those rules is merely a minor detail, which I’m sure will be glossed over……..
What worries me about all this is that all the major parties are just as guilty as each other, which is just what the BNP want’s before the local elections
The system is not to blame, politicain are their for their judgement, and if their judgement is so far off they should not be doing that job.
I’d keep the same allowance system, but publish in full and in an open format the dtails of their expenses, so we can see who are the dishonest MPs.
Let them explain to their voters why they claimed for so and so, if they cannot do that then do not claim for it.
thet should do something like we have up here, we know who spends what on taxis, it keeps them on their toes
