Hazel Blears announces she is going to pay the £13k CGT she didn't avoid

In an interview with Sky News's Jon Craig, beleaguered communities minister Hazel Blears announces she will pay back the £13,332 she didn't avoid in CGT when she sold her flat, which wasn't her second home, unless you ask the Commons authorities, in which case it was.

Oliver Cromwell quote

You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

This bitch is the biggest disgrace of all to British politics. She still has the bloody nerve to sit on the front bech in the House of Commons smirking broadly, even when the expenses scandal is being debated.

[OktoberSunset]

Ohh, it will take time, first we have to build a gallows, and then tie the noose, oh yes, it takes time...

Hazel Blears is a total disgrace. She is just another Labour politician that will say anything to get re-elected. Well Hazel, I've decided that you're a fucking deceitful bitch and deserve to get voted out in 2010.

This clip should be played to all school children at least once a year whilst growing up in order to show the worst kind of person it is possible to elect to high office.

you DIDNT comply with the rules, you ARE liable for capital gains tax, you DID lie to evade tax, tax evasion IS a crime, you SHOULD go to jail

[gjjackson1968]

Hazel, how dare you mention trust? You have been caught with your fingers in the till, as have your colleagues. You've paid back the amount you have been caught stealing. Please tell us how much, over the last 30 years you got away with? Will you pay that back as well? You now have NO reputation of worth.

Spot on spinnmyfinn. Why does she keep stressing I'VE DECIDED? To make the repayment seem like her individual moral initiative? A morally bankrupt bitch, at that!
