Gawd bless Michael Winner - the silliest, smiliest, most cantankerous old lady in Britian today.
Charles Clarke, judging from the size of his ears, used echo location to find the taxpayer's money trough ahead of other MPs. Pickles just used his belly to barge the other pigs aside.
Stupid man doesn't realise the people want penitence, not Northern pig-headedness.
One would imagine Pickles underpants took a serious battering after the lump was on question time trying to explain himself , it was marvellous to watch him start falling apart .
These people do a lot of hard work for their constituents, they aren't MP's to get their noses in the trough, they do it for the people. For instance "Hello MP, the majority of your constituents want the death penalty reinstated", the MP then says "fuck you lot my Chief Whip says I have to vote against it so tough shit.
The worst thing about it is this fat lump is now in cabinate!! his government is also pushing through damaging reforms and further alienating the electorate. utterly disgraceful
Try walking you fat scum bag. Pickles is a JOKE and I'm largely in support of the Tories . Pickles is thick and totally unsuitable to be in the cabinet.
These idiots want us all to have these implanted ID chips and such nonsense - I say they should all be made to wear lie detectors, permanently. If they say like they always do, that they are indeed telling the truth they would have absolutely nothing to fear. For those that refuse tell em to FO the lyin cheating, condescending Bast**ds.
I am a humble uneducated Japanese so I am not qualified to comment here, but once you start picking on small expenses, the big picture goes out of the window. The big picture is that MP's and Ministers and Prime Ministers work hard to make Britain a better place by laying down the foundations based on grand plans going beyond a hundred years. Britain once could do that, did just that and was once a superpower everyone looked up to. Please don't be like Japan.
Well, you still have the royal families, aristocracies, Eton, Oxford and Cambridge. We Japanese replicated them but lost them except the Emperor. I truly hope that the MPs and Ministers will work hard with long term vision which will ennoble and empower England by rolling out policies which are sensible and agreeable even if they may be hard to embrace short term. A government sometimes has to make unpopular but noble decisions.
I think you are referring to excessive bail out packages which ultimately need to be repaid by tax payers, yes? I also gather that you are not so impressed with some MPs claiming housing expenses even if they love two blocks from the Palace of Westminster.
Well, I think the fiscal stimulus was necessary. I assume you agree that it was, even if we both know that the burden is being passed onto our children. As for the housing subsidies, well, OK if they do really good job. If not....
@agemangirl1919 To those, yes. But also to the amount of time/ money the government wastes on irrelevant things, such as support for china and russia, who now have better economies than we do. Also, to schemes that the government starts, but then cancels, wasting billions (examples being the new NHS and prison computer systems.)
@agemangirl1919 continued: And i agree, if the MP's do a good job, then sure, let them have nice houses. But claiming for Pornographic films? And allowing the banks to get into such trouble that they need a bailout? i don't know about that!
I heard that one MP had his gay partner on tax payers bills. I also heard that another MP was paying for a bog brush out of the subsidies. Well, I think they should be named and shamed. Apart from those who were extremely naughty, most MPs do care about the Queen and her people. It is sad that a handful of cases spoil the entire image of such an important establishment of the country. I still think that England is better at actually defending and ruling the country.
heres a good way to save taxpayers money you yes fucking you stop claiming £800 a month to pay your morgage and £1,000 amonth for your council tax and the taxpayers also pay you gas and electrick and your phone bills as we the ordinary people have to pay our own fucking bills from our wages
cameron said on tv that lord ashcroft gave his party a big big big loan to clear the partys debt so thats were the £127,600,ooo in lost tax went to it is our fucking money
These idiots have cocked the country up and they expect more pay they all need hanging for treasonThey need a bog standard pay for all MP's no expences cos no one else gets it!!!

Eric Pickles and Charles Clarke are both proof that life is full of respectable-looking people who can look you straight in the eye and tell you a load of old codswallop.
The fat slobs remarks to Ed Davey are all the proof we need to tell us that there has been no change in the Tory mentality.
His "I have to be there because parliament wouldn,t function without me" reeks of the Thatcher attitude towards people. Typical Tory bully boy, total lack of respect for someone who is there to represent the people who elected him and probably doing a far better job than the rotund robber.
With the likes of Eric Pickles, the Conservative Party in Government is a disaster waiting to happen. I remember the said Eric Pickles in his role as leader of Bradford Council some years ago. The man did not have a clue because he is nothing more than a self-seeking egotistical lunatic.
what a load of crap i think he should step down as brentwood and ongar mp and become a road sweaper thats all he is good at sweeping the rubbish aside
Because they're wasting yours and my money on things that they can damn well afford themselves - TVs, food, and all the other stuff we all have to pay for out of our salary.
Footballers get a lot of money, but it isn't public money. Whole world of difference.
Go back to your fruit bowl if you want to compare apples with oranges(!)
@SG77com you say that as if you're not a member of the 'PUBLIC'. Just curious, not gettign at you, honestly. Just wondered at your phrasing there. Do disagree with your point as well though, because the fact footballers are also overpaid is not relevant - 2 wrongs don't make a right etc. Love and peace. Smith
@SG77com you are thick if you take that line of thought!! the difference between the money a footballer takes and the money that MP's have claimed is that footballers are not paid through our tax system....MP's are claiming what is yours and my PUBLIC money! This country is at serious risk of moral degredation with the presence of people like you and your opinions
i really dont want to hear your feeble excuse, so dont bother posting
@SG77com Those expenses are paid for by taxes instead of taxes going to more import things such as keeping the economy afloat and maybe not systematically dismantling the NHS.
question time is merely a ploy to see how many idiot moron pieces of sit can fit into one space a a time. and the answer is a hell of a lot. state the obvious and the crown jeers or cheers depending on which directiln the people behind the punch and judy puppet show curtain want it to go.there are too many people on the planet.
Ironically the rules aren't bad - it's something like expenses '"wholly and exclusively necessary" to do their job. Alot of the claims e.g. gardening, redecorating .. are clearly not 'wholly and exclusively'. Normal people would just get sacked for some of the abuse that's taken place.
The rules also state than no claim can "appear to be extravagant or luxurious"...and that is EXACTLY what nearly ever claim has been. The truth is, if it weren't for the free press and the Daily Telegraph not one of these claims would have been exposed; instead they would have been buried, like Michael Martin was trying to do. So this indignation and victim hood now being shown by ministers is quite nauseating.
MP's agreed amongst themselves they wanted a rise. Public opinion would be hostile to it. So they devised new 'rules' to do it surreptitiously by giving themselves 'expenses'.
A total lack of morality from people who are supposed to show leadership.
Fat ass!! Need a 2nd home because he can't move his fat lazy us to work! Quit crying like a little girl, and just do your job without complaining just like thes rest of us, you fat lying scum bag! I hope more investigations will be undertaken on the MP's, I can't wait to hear more about MP's expenses, like the other idiot of Jaqui smith, who claimed for a porno movie! Stupid politicians, hope all the thiefs get locked up!
fucking theives lock em up for FRAUD !!!!!!!! n taking piss out of the Hard working people who have battled to make ends meet through the recession while they live it up with our money
Need we any more evidence that the Westminster circle aren't living in the world most people inhabit? We have the real power, we just need to wake up and make more informed voting decisions by getting rid of these crooks and holding new incumbents to greater account.
This cunt happens to be my MP... i live in Ongar.. it takes me 20 minutes to get to a tube station... then about another 50 minutes to westminster tube. pickles is a lying money grabbing, pie scoffing cunt.
Big Fat Pickles still around? I remember when he was screwing up Bradford. Why do the Tories think this lard arse is so great? Perhaps its because he sounds working class and obviously likes eating pork pies?
The reputation of MP's has been utterly tarnished and will never regain any shine. My only hope is that we, the people, hound these useless bunch of pricks outta dodge.
STOP ..... PLEASE STOP applauding them!!!!!!!!!!! They do not deserve your applause.
They are greedy, lying, squirming, pricks. THAT' S ALL THEY ARE!
FFS People GROW UP and take back your dignity and power.
burn the fucking lot of em. Fat, greedy, criminal cunts. Find out where they live, and put their fucking windows through. Vote for the Green party. Joanna Lumley for Prime Minister
I have my own business am realy strugling at the moment i am very angry ..just want to make a point..
if an enemployed person is signing on and finds a few hours casual work and dose not declare what he has earnt and carries on claiming his full allowance.. they can be arrested interviewed thrown before the courts and done for benifit fraud it also holds a imprisionable offence in the more serious cases 40k in my eyes is pretty serious..
Yes. All the traffic and traffic lights and zebra crossings disappear and the road magically becomes a completely straight line to his destination when he drives.
Just confirms what I've always thought that MPs are a load of corrupt, deceitful hypocrites....reckon they should end ALL allowances (why for example do they get council tax and utility bills paid for????? in what other job would you get such a priviledge?), as well as second home allowances for any MPs living south of Birmingham...it's unbelievable they are allowed themselves to vote on their own pay and expenses legislation rather than an independent body.
dont forget gordons lightbulbs,barbara folletts window cleaning and sean woodwards 2nd homes allowance.and if you dont know who he is married to,his wifes family own some shops,not heard of them but i think there called sainsburys or something
These dickheads spend so much cos theyve gone straight from private school, to university then politics.Its a class thing i.e. theyre posh wankers who have allways had too much money and no experience of the world in which normal people live.The answer is to change the political makeup of Britain so its not monopolised by eton twats.
Composition of parliament =
34% independant
41% comprehensive
25% selective state school
consider this=90% of british children go to comprehensive schools
Eric Pickles, what a wanker. It just goes to show that despite being pasted all over the red tops, Tories havn't a clue about what its like to keep a real job on a realistic salary. If you don't have money, your just a tick to them. It makes me sick listening to their shite, it really does. I'd love to see 'Call me Dave' and Tony Blair in a boxing ring only to pull a lever and send 'em both down a trap door.
how dare eric big-nipples so much as try to excuse taking a 2nd home allowance when he lives 37 miles away from parliament. however long into the night parliament runs, however ill your wife, husband or family may be, it does not excuse for one single minute taking money from the tax payer and the constituents who you supposedly represent to fraudulently and dishonourably buy a second home when you live SO damn close to work. What about every other employee in London earning half your income?
they manage to get buy. Coming from a Middle Class Conservative MP, it is laughable that you so much as dare criticise a Lib Dem Politician for defending matters of finanical implications that can only be described as exploitation of the ordinary, Working Class constituents that you are meant to represent and understand.
What a muppet! I remember seeing this. His fat head was sinking so far into his stomach in pathetic denial, I thought he was going to crap himself! "Let me explain why, let me try and get myself out of this hole i'm in..!" Also, anyone else think Ed Davey looks a tiny bit like that coughing Major fella from Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Eric obviously takes 5 and a half hours to eat breakfast so he actually has to get up at midnight to get to the house at 9:30. I do not think we should mock someone who is clearly mentally challenged and I applaud the Conservatives for promoting someone so deeply challenged as this man.
In an ideal world this kind of display would lose the Tories the election, unfortunately I feel as though it would be brushed under the carpet in favour of what Labour MP's have done.
1) The Tory party must have willingly put this nob up as a representative (by the way, I don't care about his second house, I care about the fact that he is chairman of the opposition and I reckon I could go head to head with him on Trivial Pursuit
2) I'm sh*t at Trivial Pursuit.
3) Why, in the name of that is holy, would the 'caring-sharing-i'm Dave- we- feel - your-pain- conservatives elect this cock. And then why would they let him on Question Time?
TopTellyfan, I agree with you, but doesn't the absolute lack of any intellectual insight from ANYONE on this flagship BBC debate program concern you? The green woman was lucid, I grant you, and Charles Clarke was made to look good by the chinless, geordie, tory twat next to him, but really, this was depressing.
It is depressing in a way since the Tories will get in next time, they will start to make a difference and then they'll just stuff up in some similar and some different ways. Any politician would do the same whatever party they're from.
It'll be interesting to see when Obama starts showing his flaws since nobody's perfect.
Last night, I got a call from some woman asking if I would be voting conservative at the next election. An odd, and annoying, question. I said that I probably would, if only out of default and anger at Brown's arrogance and incompetence. I watched this Question Time on Iplayer and can honestly say that no public figure has ever impressed me less than Pickles. What a thick, weapons-grade tw*t that man is. Chairman of the conservative party? And they wonder why people are turned off politics..

Ironically the rules aren't bad - it's something like expenses '"wholly and exclusively necessary" to do their job. Alot of the claims e.g. gardening, redecorating .. are clearly not 'wholly and exclusively'. Normal people would just get sacked for some of the abuse that's taken place.
lucasrac 2 years ago
The rules also state than no claim can "appear to be extravagant or luxurious"...and that is EXACTLY what nearly ever claim has been. The truth is, if it weren't for the free press and the Daily Telegraph not one of these claims would have been exposed; instead they would have been buried, like Michael Martin was trying to do. So this indignation and victim hood now being shown by ministers is quite nauseating.

MP's agreed amongst themselves they wanted a rise. Public opinion would be hostile to it. So they devised new 'rules' to do it surreptitiously by giving themselves 'expenses'.
A total lack of morality from people who are supposed to show leadership.

if an enemployed person is signing on and finds a few hours casual work and dose not declare what he has earnt and carries on claiming his full allowance.. they can be arrested interviewed thrown before the courts and done for benifit fraud it also holds a imprisionable offence in the more serious cases 40k in my eyes is pretty serious..

Just confirms what I've always thought that MPs are a load of corrupt, deceitful hypocrites....reckon they should end ALL allowances (why for example do they get council tax and utility bills paid for????? in what other job would you get such a priviledge?), as well as second home allowances for any MPs living south of Birmingham...it's unbelievable they are allowed themselves to vote on their own pay and expenses legislation rather than an independent body.

These dickheads spend so much cos theyve gone straight from private school, to university then politics.Its a class thing i.e. theyre posh wankers who have allways had too much money and no experience of the world in which normal people live.The answer is to change the political makeup of Britain so its not monopolised by eton twats.
Composition of parliament =
34% independant
41% comprehensive
25% selective state school
consider this=90% of british children go to comprehensive schools

Eric Pickles, what a wanker. It just goes to show that despite being pasted all over the red tops, Tories havn't a clue about what its like to keep a real job on a realistic salary. If you don't have money, your just a tick to them. It makes me sick listening to their shite, it really does. I'd love to see 'Call me Dave' and Tony Blair in a boxing ring only to pull a lever and send 'em both down a trap door.
deanniebopper 2 years ago 3
how dare eric big-nipples so much as try to excuse taking a 2nd home allowance when he lives 37 miles away from parliament. however long into the night parliament runs, however ill your wife, husband or family may be, it does not excuse for one single minute taking money from the tax payer and the constituents who you supposedly represent to fraudulently and dishonourably buy a second home when you live SO damn close to work. What about every other employee in London earning half your income?
AaronandArsenal 2 years ago
they manage to get buy. Coming from a Middle Class Conservative MP, it is laughable that you so much as dare criticise a Lib Dem Politician for defending matters of finanical implications that can only be described as exploitation of the ordinary, Working Class constituents that you are meant to represent and understand.

Eric obviously takes 5 and a half hours to eat breakfast so he actually has to get up at midnight to get to the house at 9:30. I do not think we should mock someone who is clearly mentally challenged and I applaud the Conservatives for promoting someone so deeply challenged as this man.

My problem is:
1) The Tory party must have willingly put this nob up as a representative (by the way, I don't care about his second house, I care about the fact that he is chairman of the opposition and I reckon I could go head to head with him on Trivial Pursuit
2) I'm sh*t at Trivial Pursuit.
3) Why, in the name of that is holy, would the 'caring-sharing-i'm Dave- we- feel - your-pain- conservatives elect this cock. And then why would they let him on Question Time?

TopTellyfan, I agree with you, but doesn't the absolute lack of any intellectual insight from ANYONE on this flagship BBC debate program concern you? The green woman was lucid, I grant you, and Charles Clarke was made to look good by the chinless, geordie, tory twat next to him, but really, this was depressing.
bill2912 2 years ago
It is depressing in a way since the Tories will get in next time, they will start to make a difference and then they'll just stuff up in some similar and some different ways. Any politician would do the same whatever party they're from.

I watched this Question Time on Iplayer and can honestly say that no public figure has ever impressed me less than Pickles. What a thick, weapons-grade tw*t that man is. Chairman of the conservative party? And they wonder why people are turned off politics..
