GREAT EXPENSE SCANDAL FROM 2008 STILL EXISTS - Update 4 Feb., 2018

No cutting back there!? !? !? But cuts in the NHS and Welfare.  PM May show your "Equal Society!!!!!! She even granted the MPs a 10 pc rise for 2017.

Update 4 Feb., 2018 -- It shows only one of the Tories and the others are no different. It shows and proves the Expense Scandal still exists. It is also the reason for them to stick together because if Labour comes in their gravy train would grind to a standstill immediately. The same goes for all the fatcats.  NO CUTS -- NO AUSTERITY THERE.

In 2008 a great expense scandal broke lose where MPs claimed either excessive sums of money or for work like a duck house in their garden or cleaning out a moat. The claims were so outrages or ludicrous that it shook the foundation of the House of Commons. 

Voters could not belief their MPs would rip them off to such an extent and at the same time voted themselves a payrise of 10 per cent every year.

A promise was made after the explosive discovery that such grant fiddle will never happen and books will stay open and transparent.

However, looking back nothing has changed. MPs are still claiming incredible sums for dining and entertaining MPs or foreign visitors like the Speaker of the House, Mr Bercow or MPs using chauffeur driven limousine for a trip just down the road or one MP to be taken to the theatre making it wait for four hours while she watch an opera.

MPs voted to abandon the practice for the Speaker naming a MP who has been arrested for fraud or other crimes.

It seems that the cover is being drawn across again and the promise of transparency conveniently forgotten. Despite of several scandals of high expense claims made headlines in the press.

Expense Scandal seems like a volcano. At the moment it is quietly retreating into the murky dark corner of Westminster. Now and then a little blob occurs of some MP overspends again while it starts building up the pressure. Then there will be another explosion. 

Yet at the time of the explosion it is revealed that the Expense Scandal had been going on for years despite of the Audit Department going through every year. There are other departments there purely to watch that the expenses are not getting out of hand and we still hear of Expense Scandals like a dinner costing £2,000 for Mr Bercow; £250 for a chauffeur driven limousine to the Opera House; £250 for a chauffeur driven limousine to be taken to a dinner at Buckingham Palace, waiting and taken back home..

There seems be no moral of spending taxpayers’ money while over 1,000 food banks are across the country to keep people from starvation.

CAMERON CHILLAXED TWICE AT A EU'S SUMMIT MEETING

David Cameron was caught out once before when on a Commonwealth meeting he vanished a day before the meeting was finished. There again he could and should have sorted out several points with the rest of the heads of other commonwealth countries. It was remarked upon by other leaders that the Prime Minister should have remained but where did he go? He went to a vineyard and tasted their various products.

This time, at the EU’s summit meeting where it is was most vital to achieve the best agreement on the budget for the next seven years Mr Cameron vanished twice to eat in fancy restaurants. Surely the menu of the EU summit meeting was of the best there was available.

He promised the taxpayers that he would do his utmost and will negotiate hard but after a very few hours he vanished. He went to a top restaurant called Brasserie 1898 which has specialities of a variety of Belgian beers and chateaubriand steak costing £44.50.

Just before the summit super he was gone again for a fish dinner. The final lunch was baby venison and bottles of wine costing £120 each were served. Although the other menus were not reported but judging by this one it must be assumed the other lunch and dinners couldn’t be less extravagant. Only Mr Cameron can explain the reason for him having to vanish just before each lunch and dinner was served.

Again Mr Cameron wasted and lost time for important negotiations with other European leaders in the two days crunch budget summit meeting. This costs the taxpayers hundred of thousands of pounds in which nothing was achieved. Brussels has postponed it to another meeting in the New Years which adds more expenses. They definitely know how to live it up while the public in Britain gets pushed to the financial limit and soon beyond. 

It us doubtful that he became now Holy Joe because we do not hear any more of his escapades. Mr Cameron, most probably, has the thumb on the press not to report it.
