Two peers have been suspended from the House of Lord's for falsely claiming expenses amounting to close to £200,000. Baroness Uddin (Bangladeshi) and Lord Bhatia (African Indian). A third peer Lord Swraj Paul (Indian) was also suspended. All three peers were Labour-appointed "life peers". Lord Paul is one of the wealthiest men in Britain and the largest donor to the Labour Party, donating over £500,000 to the party.

Lord Paul has also not contributed any income tax until recently after being given "not domiciled" tax status, despite living in the UK since 1966, running a large company here and being the 88th richest person in the UK.

Although all three have been suspended as peers, this is only temporary and they will not face any criminal prosecution, despite defrauding tax-payers of close to £200,000. If these were ordinary people committing benefits fraud or tax evasion, they would definitely be facing prison terms.

Laughably the biased-BBC has tried to defend these peers and has the audacity to criticise their suspensions as being "racially" motivated!? See the story below.

  • a thief who knows what she has done

    ...Well, she is returning after April and will be allowed to claim £300 a day.

    They can only get rid of her for a term. She has the consent of the Queen to fuck the tax payer over.

    She stole £125'000 from the us and claims shee cannot pay it back. The rules say that she has the right to go back to her job anyway.

    Hang the lot of these parassites!!!
