TORIES SPENT FREELY TAXPAYERS MONEY update 8 September, 2020

BUT NOT ON NHS - SCHOOLS - HOUSING - DISABLED PEOPLE - THE LIERS STATE THERE IS NO MONEY !!!!!

Update 8 Sept., 2020 - New PM Johnson agreed to spend £100billion, so far, on HS2 train which would safe 20 min to Birmingham. At a time when there is a CV19 pandemic and already starving people will lose their job.
He also spent £500mil taxpayers' money giving untendered contracts to his donors and friends.
His huge Cabinet cost £4m a year.

Update 27 August, 2018 -- Its gone worse. May agreed to go ahead of building a British Satellite estimated cost of £9trillion but these estimates always double and treble. 

Update 19 Dec., 2017 -- New aircraft carrier for £3,1bn and it sprang a leak already - but no money for NHS, school, disabled and pensioners. 

But further cut £12bn Welfare and Universal Credit roll out before Christmas with waiting time of five weeks for first pay.

£39bn, officially, payment for Brexit

Update 23 Oct., 2017 -- BBC News announced that the cost of drinks in Parliament have trebled since 2014. It costs the taxpayers £1,8mill a year.

No austerity there !!!!

All in all it has gone even more one-sided. Everything gets done for the fatcats and the people get squeezed more and more.  


A few years ago one of the MPs let slip that a great number of MPs are so drunk by the afternoon that they do not know what they are voting for. Judging by the great amount it must have even increased in the meantime. 

Is that what they are there for???

Update 3 Oct., 2017 --
£15m and it will be most probably doubled - a museum to mark Margaret Thatcher's legacy - as if people have not got enough legacies of Thatcher. Her destroyed mines, ship buildings, shipyards, etc destroying whole communities and cities. She was not the greatest PM - she was the worst and people still suffer from it.

Thatcher's legacy was passed on to Cameron and now to May. No need for museum.
£149m on Theresa May's snap election

£1.5bn to DUP for a coalition with the Tories

£40m spent on Court case to fight blocking Tories benefit payment cuts

£21bn for private consultants to tell how to make £26bn NHS cuts which is the       biggest lunacy.

£130m spent by National Citizen Service for youth volunteering scheme. A full-time programme plus 30 hrs of community volunteering.

£2m on TV advert campaign to get thousands to sign up – the result was 140 for the Army.

£30m from Foreign Aid Budget was given on insurance premiums over the next four years for disasters.

£13bn and increasing for the Foreign Aid Budget annually.

5,000 sick and disabled benefit claimants sanctioned for six months – what do they think they live on?

800 disabled adapted cars get pulled off the road every month while PM May uses private jets

£4m a year for Westminster food and drinks – while ordinary people made to starve because of Welfare cuts

£100m NHS in England pays to recruitments agencies to recruit foreign GPs – fattening their rich friends’ agencies

£153m a year is the cost to sanction Benefits – does that make sense PM May and great Chancellor Philip Hammond?

£2bn a year paid to Atos and no Tax paid

£2.5bn a year tax money to rotten landlords renting out homes which don’t meet basic health and safety standards and in a unbelievable state.

Housing benefit paid to private landlord has doubled in 10 years from £3.7bn to £8.8bn and will increase to £9.4bn by 2021-22

£240bn is the cost of the austerity plan of Osborne

£11bn to top up low wages paid by UK companies and what happened to the money? Will it be passed on to the workers?

£400,000 a year for Westminster taxis to ferry red boxes containing the ministers’ paperwork – no passengers – only the red box

£36bn a year loss to the treasury due to Theresa May’s tax loopholes.

£500,000 for every bombing mission in Syria which has nothing to do with the UK. The first voting MPs refused and it was discovered that Cameron used the RAF on the quiet despite of. The second voting, Cameron cornered Corbyn to allow MPs a free vote. 66 Labour MPs voted for it and gave Cameron the majority to go ahead.

UK would not have the terrorists’ threat and attacks if it stayed out of it. Tories always back up USA, including Tony Blair pretending to be Labour but a Thatcherite. Harold Wilson, Labour exPM, was the only one said NO and it was the Vietnam war

To be sure it is only a fraction of taxpayers’ money used and wasted.

TORY GOVERNMENT SECRETLY TRIBLED PAYMENT TO CONCENTRIX

NO AUSTERITY THERE!!!

What else did they do the public does not know about it?

Cameron's lie TRANSPARENCY and his partner in crime Osborne none the better!!!!!

That and a great number of other secretly kept deals proves Tories are anything but transparent in their dealings.

The National Audit office revealed that the Tory Government secretly tripled payments to Concentric even being fully aware it failing.

HM Revenue agreed to it. The increased payment to Concentrix were authorised during ex-PM David Cameron and ex-Chancellor George Osborne.

This shocking report revealed Whitehall tax chiefs paid £32.5million of public money to a failing tax credits firm which wrongly stripped thousands of families of vital benefits. Did they talk about it when Cameron and Osborne giving their great speeches in the USA and Davos for £100,000 each payment?

The National Audit Office refunded almost £7million to families incorrectly had their payment stopped and it was overturned the decision from Concentrix on appeal.

But it was only one-third. It should have been all the families since the Tory Government has the money to pay a failing contractor – it has the money to pay the people.

It has not been the first time or the only one contractor which has received hundreds of thousands of pound from hard-up taxpayers.

There are Serco and G4S which received £700million for shoddy work and Serco was even up for fraud entering false data in NHS. Atos, French firm, told fatal ill people they can work and stopped their benefits. There were so far known 2,500 cases of suicide because of it. Atos walked out leaving behind a 700,000 backlog and to be sure received a Golden Handshake. So far most of David Cameron’s friends which received huge contracts had never given the full service but received the full money if not over.

Further unbelievable details emerged. Concentrix call centre received 62,000 during August 2016 alone from frantic families but they only answered five per cent within five minutes which evidently shows a very limited staff. It also means that these desperate people either hang on for a long time or kept re-dial which added further cost to their phone bills during their desperate time.

Although the Government was fully aware of it but as usually did nothing for months.

HMRC finally took the initiative and cancelled the contract late last year and have a guess they surely received a Golden Handshake.

HMRC brought the service back in-house.

HMRC has since paid out nearly £87,000 in compensation to the worst affected families.

This is all very well but it is still taxpayer’s money. It should have been David Cameron and George Osborne held responsible and have been made to pay it. They would not even have missed it. They should have been brought into court for mishandling Public money and trust in high office.

When do the MPs and public stand up to these characters? They nothing but ruined the country and the life of the people.

Surely they are not above the Law or are they?

The same case refers to Philip Green. Although MPs had voted on losing his knighthood but so far there seems to be no sign of it. Plus his returning the pension pot of BHS staff.
For heaven's sake it is money for their retirement when they cannot work any more and rely on that money.
These fatcats seem to have the right to make off with pensions pots from  miners, steel workers and BHS. The MPs should create a riot to pressure the fatcats to return the money.

Where are the MPs principles?

TORIES WASTE TAXPAYERS MONEY Updated 16 August, 2016


UPDATE 16 August, 2016 --
Instead of being called to account for the scandalous mess in the Home Office - Theresa May became Prime Minister

UPDATE  The government spent £9million on "Bremain in EU" leaflets and will be sending every household one. £9million would have helped a lot of poor and disabled people.  It is crime.

The present Conservative (Tory) Government excels itself by wasting taxpayers’ money. Money which is so desperately needed by the poor and disabled and yet to be cut more.

The Home Office Secretary Theresa May is no exception.

The amount of the now defunct Border Agency must have cost millions of pounds. For years it hit the headline with scandals but nothing was done. Only last year Theresa May could not cover up their failures any more and the contract was cancelled.

The security of UK’s borders came back under the authority of the Home Office but so far did not show any improvement

Speaking of border control apparently the UK has not signed the Schenken agreement for open borders which enclosed the rule that Brussels is then responsible for the European Borders. Brussels seems to try to ignore this responsibility at a time of a great refugee crisis.  Another failure of Brussels.

However, if these facts are correctly reported why is PM David Cameron not closing the UK borders or drastically cutting down the influx of refugees?

For years there were demands to deport hate preachers from the UK but Theresa May first ignored it and then it dragged on for months and months. All this time it cost taxpayers’ money for courts and lawyers fees plus benefits.

At one stage she even missed the deportation date. It is unbelievable that such a blunder could have happened.

Now a report by the BBC highlights that 40 per cent of foreign criminals due to be send back were cancelled.  It amounts to 34,000 airline tickets cancelled in only 18 months.  Again the taxpayers were footing the bill of £1,4million. Again the Home Office is trying to reassure us that it will reduce the cancellation.   By now that public had too many re-assurances for too many failures and no improvement  was seen.

The reason was given for the great number of cancellation is that there were no security staffs to accompanying the deportees. The security service which provides the security guard was privatised and is the responsibility of TASCOR. That scandalous report reveals that on average it provides 15 minutes later than requested.

Every contractor seems to provide inadequate service and yet the Home Office Secretary Theresa May sits back and let it roll on.

Another scandal, the Home Office lost track of thousand of students whose visa had expired.  At such a dangerous time we live in at the moment it is unforgivable.
The whole situation seems to be out of control.

The Home Office said: “Work was already underway to address these recommendations relating the ticketing and escorting and accepted all of the chief inspectors recommendations.”

The main point is that it should have never escalated to such an extend in the first place and will it surprise us if in years to come the situation will still be the same.

We had for years the same white-wash been given every time a scandal hit the headlines yet nobody ever asked for Theresa May to resign.

CAMERON DESPERATE RESHUFFLE COST TAXPAYERS £180,000

Tories have £104billion in their coffer and yet charging  everything (election campaign) to the cash strapped taxpayer. Cameron has the nerve to say he cares about the working class.
It shows the length David Cameron is able to go. To even charge £180,000 to the taxpayers.

Looking back when UK Prime Minister David Cameron reshuffled his Cabinet; it cost the taxpayers nearly £180,000 for “Golden Handshakes”.  The desperate reshuffle was to improve the chance of winning the next General Election in May 2015. Since it was for the General Election and Tory's winning again it should have been taken out of the party's coffer and not the taxpayers but that is the Tories all over  It did not improve in the eyes of the general public since David Cameron just replaced them with others of his friends or as they were called in some newspaper “cronies”.

Each of the 15 Tories axed were entitled to a three months’ salary, tax-free redundancy pay.

Lord Hill’s redundancy was £25,000 in spite of walking into the next job as new European Commissioner in Brussels.  A row exploded not only on that but also about his successor Baroness Stowell being only paid £22,000 which is less than Lord Hill. David Cameron denies sexism but this clearly showed him up.

Labour MP John Mann said: “Lord Hill should hand his £25,259.50 pay-off to his successor – and urged the others to refuse the cash. None of them should get anything – particular Lord Hill who is going to a hugely salaried job in Europe. They should do what the rest of the country is doing and tighten their belts. Other people do not get a pay-off when they are sacked and in many cases this is rewards for failure.  The honourable thing to do would be not to take a penny and the whole system should be scrapped.”

================================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU
================================================================

Dominic Grieve, personal fortune around £3million, received a £23,943 after been sacked as Attorney General.

Owen Patterson, worth around £1.5million, and David Jones received £17,206.75.

Ken Clarke, a millionaire, holding shares in BP, BAT and Diageo at the last election and have an estimated value of £600,000. Has Ken Clarke been dumped because of the allegations of child abuse?  For whatever reason he was axed; he is entitle to £8,000.

Sir George, nicknamed as the bicycling baron, owns a family home in Hampshire worth £650,000 and a £500,000 flat in London.  His total fortune has not been revealed but he stood to receive a £8,000.

Energy minister Greg Barker, has a fortune o £7,4million from selling his stake in recruitment advertising firm, was also entitled to £8,250.50 when he was sacked.

Two more millionaires, former investment banker Hugh Robertson and ex-oil trader Alan Duncan also received the same amount of money.  Not quite millionaires but on the ladder up, still receive the same pay out was Andrew Lansley, David Willetts, Damian Green and Andrew Robathan.

Stephen Hammond and Nick Hunt got £5,924.25 each when they were sacked as junior ministers. Oliver Heald had £14,812 when he was ousted as Solicitor General.

The rule is such; they are entitled to their redundancy pay if they do not get a new ministerial job within three weeks.

The taxpayers had to dish out a total of £176,280 for people who have more or less a fortune themselves.  While the same taxpayers having to rely on food banks and making decision whether to put food on the table or in the coming winter heat their home. The Tories turned this country from an average good living into Dickson time.

A remark from the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg:  “David Cameron’s reshuffle showed that the head bangers have won”.

He pointed out further that the promotion of right-wing Euro sceptic Tories meant that his coalition partners were now even more “extreme” and the Tories moves to rip up the Human Rights Act.

He added: “The Conservative want to line up with Vladimir Putin and other tyrants by tearing up our tradition of human rights.”

TONY BLAIR SHOULD PAY £20MILLION COMPENSATION NOT TAXPAYERS Update 7 July, 2016



TONY BLAIR
Update: 7 July, 2016 -- Now the Chilcot report proved Blair decided single-handedly to invade Iraq he should be made to pay back £20million to the taxpayers. It is not right the taxpayers foot Blair's compensation to Iraqi people. Taxpayers are starving and homeless. 

This is another incredible decision made by the Coalition. The newspaper The Sun discovered that around £20million of taxpayers money had been paid as compensation to Iraquis since 2003.

The blog is not meant against Iraqis receiving compensation it only objects that taxpayers who are really hard-up having to pay it out.

It should be Tony Blair paying it.  
    .
He was determined to start a war.

He is gathered a wealth of approx. £100million,  maybe even more. They call him a 'human cash-machine' not for nothing, not in those circles. Therefore he must excel himself


  

The general public was completely against the war and invasion in Iraq so why do they have to pay for it. As it is they had to pay hundreds of millions of pounds to fight in Iraq plus  176 UK soldiers  lost their lives and a great number of young men were injured and are disabled for the rest of their lives. Instead of looking after them and paying compensation to these soldiers to make their life more durable the Department of Defence spending around £20million, so far, to Iraq, instead taking Tony Blair to court and make him pay it..

By all means they should get the money but it should not come from the Taxpayers. It should be paid by Tony Blair who was bent over backwards to invade Iraq under the false statement they had Weapon of Mass Destruction which were never found because they were never there. Tony Blair had been said, by financial experts, to be worth at least £100million and his own friends stated that it is under-estimated

Therefore my suggestion and it is not that wild since he was solely responsible for the death and devastation in Iraq he should be held responsible to pay. As it stands  of now he still would have at least £80million which is overpaid for his irresponsibility as a Prime Minister. Besides the war was illegal because the UN did not sanction it. So far he is not held responsible for any of that. On the contrary the UN gave him a post as their official Middle East Peace Envoy. To receive such a post after being the biggest war monger of recent years leave the credibility of the UN in doubt.

Legal companies Leigh Day and Public Interest's Lawyers handle all these cases. At the moment they still have 1,469 cases to bring against the Ministry of Defence. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond accused them of self-interest lawyers hiding behind the accuse of public interest. So far they pocket around £10million.  And what does the great Prime Minister David Cameron and his Cabinet do about it? Nothing. As long it does not cost his money it is all irrelevant. Never mind about the public being screwed into the ground.

FRAUD AT SERCO -- Updated 30 April 2015

A £285million contract and we have not heard anything about the fraud of Serco. No cancellation, no court  case and no conviction. That Cameron and his disciple have a lot to answer for but will they?



CHRIS HYMAN 

CHIEF EXECUTIVE 
OF SERCO




UPDATED:  15 August, 2014 -- 
 Serco is a security company or supposed 
to be and yet they are accused of committing
one crime after crime.  They are not the
only contractors in trouble either by alleged  
fraud or not able to give the full service.  
It is amazing the Prime Minister 
David Cameron first of all employed them 
to break up the NHS and secondly has 
not cancelled their contract. 
It is nothing but wasting taxpayers' money.
Serco the security firm had been accused of fraud again. A few months ago they were caught adding data in the NHS to make up the target demanded by the government ensuring the payments. Now again a discrepancy was found defrauding the taxpayers million of pounds.

Minister accused Serco to fiddle performance figures. They tried to prove that prisoners arrived at courts on time when they did not.

A £285million contract which covers London and East Anglia is now under supervision, the Government stated.  

Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: “It’s become very clear there has been a culture within parts of Serco that had been totally unacceptable, and actions which need to be investigated by the police.”

Chris Hyman, chief executive of Serco Group, said: “The Justice Secretary is right to expect high standards of performance from Serco.

“I am deeply saddened and appalled at the misreporting of data by a small number of employers on the contract. This is a very serious matter for the customer and for us. We will not tolerate any wrongdoing and that is why we have referred this matter to the police.”

"It is part of the contract that prisoners are at court on time. Serco offered to pay back all profit on the contract and refuse to make future profits."

This scenario is not the first time. As already mentioned it happens already on their contract with NHS that they added data.  Therefore all those brave words of the chief executive Chris Hyman's words don’t ring that entire true.  Also Serco has a record of prisoners escaping while in transit to the court.

What is most surprising about Serco and a number of other private companies where Prime Minister David Cameron handed out contracts of huge amount claiming it would safe the taxpayer’s money most of the time is turns out a disaster. By now there is a whole string of it and it cost the taxpayers a fortune but in spite of it all Cameron  does not admit it and stop, he just merrily plough on. After all it is not his money and he will not be out of pocket.

The is Serco for the second time found out defrauding the taxpayers and according to ministers million s of pounds therefore it is not a small number employers as stated by the chief executive.

Border Agency was so far the worst. For years newspapers were screaming their heads off that they are not doing their job and the unresolved cases of immigrants were billing up and eventually reach an unbelievable 500,000 when the government woke up and closed the Border agency.  You bet all the top executives got a golden handshake on top of being useless.

G4S another security company and supposed the biggest in the world took the contract for the Olympics 2012 and 10 days before the Opening Ceremony they admitted that they can’t cope because they haven’t got the required 10,000 staff to cover it. Just before David Cameron sacked police officers and military personal. Then when he was stuck with his useless G4S the police and military were called in and good enough to cover it. Never a praise was uttered in his speech how efficient they were.

G4S was also caught out to fiddle the books with contract for tacking ex-prisoner on probation. They added names of ex-prisoners who never were in prison, dead, in prison or abroad.

Other agencies which had a big contract in NHS sent Confidential papers to private companies or one had their Data stolen.

All not very recommendable for honest, correct and good work carried out.   David Cameron considers again G4S for another big contract. Unbelievable.

ENDLESS GREED OF UK MINISTERS -- Updated: 20 June, 2015



HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT 
UPDATED: 20 June, 2015 --
The latest news: MPs stand for a further pay rise of 10 per cent. Yet, the Prime Minister David Cameron turned down the 1 per cent pay rise for nurses.

Ian Duncan Smith, head of the Dept of Work and Pensions will cut Welfare by £12billlion.

UPDATE: 8 September, 2014 -- A year on it had been agreed that the MPs should get 9 per cent increase. Yet, it is the MPs who vote for freezing the wages, cutting benefits, budgets of councils and NHS but when it is about their pocket not a vote against their own salary increase. There goes another promise of PM David Cameron to reduce the cost of the Parliament. Has he ever fulfilled one of his promises?


It is barely a month ago when the Ministers of Parliament (MPs) insisted on a £7,500 pay rise to their more than adequate yearly salaries of £65,000 plus their various form of expenses. Expenses for which ordinary people have to pay out of their wages.

Now they demand a £20,000 expense perk.  This means a flat rate, tax-free allowances for food and second home costs.  Furthermore, they want the payment without any receipts or filling out an expense form.  They must be living on another plant to demand a £20,000 expense allowance, tax-free and no receipts to prove it. This sneaky, not so clever idea came about because a number were caught out putting down expenses which had nothing to do with their work and were heavily fined or even imprisoned.  Do they know that £20,000 is a high wage these days for ordinary people, in spite of having to pay quite a large sum of National Insurance and Tax?

==================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS,  THANK YOU.
==================================================

The rise of salaries were agreed to compensate for the loss of expenses. Therefore, it shows their full audacity and attitude at a time of austerity supposed on ordinary people and living now in great poverty, to demand now after it was all set and done a £20,000 flat-rate for expenses.

Aren’t we all pleased to read the Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow suggested the change over from the present expense system to a single allowance?  He also forwarded a letter to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority who regulates the MPs’ pay.  Mr Bercow pointed out further that 17 out of 20 do not claim expenses purely to avoid the hassle of filling in forms and provide receipts.  Unbelievable!

Matthews Sinclair, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “It would be completely unacceptable for MPs to enjoy a tax-free allowance with no scrutiny whether the money is spent on legitimate expenses and not transparency over if it amounts to anything more than a top-up for their already substantial pay.”
He points out further that it would undermine Parliament while there is a freeze on public wages.  Many taxpayers would see it as a stitch-up.

Wouldn’t it be a shock for the MPs having to pay for their own ‘sandwiches’ and the Lords who get £300 a day when they are sitting. In spite of it all the taxpayers have to pay for their ‘lunches’ which amounts to a staggering £65,000 per week. We can reveal it is not beans of toast or fish fingers and there after all over 750 Lords.  On all these extra costs not a word of cutting back and about austerity.  There again a Lord who is a multi-millionaire anyway and still receives a £300 a day surely could and should pay for his own lunch. If it would be implemented it would rock the foundation of the House of Parliament more than Guy Fawkes could have ever achieved.

Although the proposed pay rise of £7,500 agreed on but it would only come into effect after the 2015 election.  All three party leaders have rejected it which is most surprisingly.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if they get it granted after all. So far we have never seen a proposal of that kind turned down.


At the moment the Government is ruling beyond any belief.

GOVERNMENT GIVES ANOTHER CONTRACT TO G4S -- Updated 30 March, 2015


UPDATE: 30 March, 2015 -- G4S is now in another scandal. The plans are to cut Cleaners and ancillary workers at the Lister Hospital, Stevenage, the hourly rate down to £5.98. It would not be friends of the Tories low payment and threatening at the same time to sack 300 worker if they do not accept. They announced that they will hire people on a lower rate.  Ed Miliband's promise to cap the contractors' profit has just come in time or is it because of his announcement did the G4S already lower the payments?  A fine example why private companies should be kicked out and never receive a contract.



UPDATE: 29 April, 2014 --  Can it BE true that David Cameron plans to privatise the police force?  The contract, so it is said, will be given to G4S.  If it becomes reality, after all the scandal G4S had, then David Cameron and his Cabinet insulting once more the people of Britain and just for money. Money in which he and his friends are swimming in anyway but their greed do not seem to have any limit. 


UPDATE;  8 August 2013 -- G4S has stepped back from bidding for another tagging contract. Does it mean they want to stand a chance for the polygraph tests for Probation? Whichever the reason will they improve their service?


Another privatisation, but this time on the quiet, hits the Probation Service. The Government wants to sell off 70 per cent of the Probation Service.

The most incredible fact in this saga is that the government is tempted to give the contract to the G4S in spite of having constant scandals and is facing a police probe into the £50million allegedly swindled on the contract for prisoner tagging fiasco. It had been discovered G4S had billed the government for 18,000 but the true figure was 15,000. The remaining figures were either dead, abroad or in prison.  Even Mr Grayling the Justice Secretary, admitted G4S could have cheated the tax payers over £50millon over the last 15 years.  There again it is amazing that no earlier check was made. After that admission and statement is it twice incredible for Mr Grayling and the government even to consider this company.

This new contract is to check out criminals ready for probation if they tell the truth. It will be monitored by a polygraph tests and involved sex offenders before they freed.  It would show if they are “honest” to ensure there will be no risk to the public. G4S is in favour to win the contract.

A probation officer pointed out the terrible record of this company and can’t understand the government even to consider giving the contract to them. This probation work is responsible to decide to free the most dangerous criminals back on to the street. He thinks it is a recipe for disaster to give the contract of polygraph testing to this company with such bad record. The result of it will be when it is too late and the result will be terrible tragedies.

It was only a year ago when G4S was absolutely incapable to manage the Olympics contract. For a company which is the biggest security company in the world is was nothing but a disgrace.  The government had to call in the military and police to ensure the safety of the athletes and public. How on earth can you still consider this company for another contract leave alone such a vital one as in probation where live of the public could be endangered?

G4S, Serco and Sodexo run the security of 14 private prisons and are all in the bidding for contracts when the probation service is sold off.  The leaked documents show the scheme is rushed through so speedily that it could endanger the public.


A further revelation coming from Mr Grayling is that he wanted charities and volunteers groups dealing with criminals because they could do a better job than probation officer. In some case they certainly could but doesn’t it smell of David Cameron’s big dream of building a ‘Big Society’ with volunteers which to my mind means taking advantage of already the down-trodden public hopefully volunteering with no pay or very little.

Very clever Mr Cameron how about you and your friends volunteering to be Prime Minister and ministers; you would still be more than well off.  Now that would be a good idea and bring the deficit down.

CITY TRADER -- MONEY TO WASTE

That is how Mr Cameron's and Tories' friends live while families are brought down so low they have to rely on food banks. Mr Cameron still puts on a show of concern about the "hard-working people".

A city trader spent this incredible sum of £40k in one night. He treated nine friends to a night out and partying beside a famous film star of Hollywood on the night of Halloween. An eye witness stated the he didn’t hold back the moment he saw this famous star and maybe he tried to show off at the Raffles in Chelsea’s Kings Road.

They city trader started with 10 Zombie cocktails which are made of rum, absinthe and grapefruit at £30 each.

Soon he was dancing the night away at the 230 capacity members only club. When the famous star turned up at 11pm the city trader ordered three giant bottles of vintage Dom Perignon champagne methuselahs amounting to  £24,000. After came seven bottles of vintage Dom Perignon Oenotheque 1996 adding another £3,500; two Belvedere jeroboam vodkas adding £1,640; seven glasses of Don Julio 1942 tequila adding £224; two vintage Dom Perignon Rose 2000 magnums adding £2,200; six bottles of Krug rose adding £2,400; Red Bull for £87.50; Havanna rum at £350 and finally 16 cafĂ© parton with tequila adding £160.00.

The final bill came to £34,861.40 plus £5,229.23

This is a glimpse how the city boys live and the world they live in. To spent £40k in one night without padding the eye lid while the country struggles to survive and not only the ordinary people but also the economy and the government does nothing to curb their bonuses. At the very same time David Cameron and his friends always shouting about AUSTERITY and benefits have to be cut for England’s economy to survive.

To spent this kind of money in one night they must be used to it. This only can be done with all their high salaries and top bonuses. Therefore, the prime minister and the coalition should step in where it should be done. Also the Bank of England was talking about and promised to bring in regulation of the bank and city.
This regulation had been well overdue and when the people started a movement under the name of OCCUPY they soon were removed but the government will no confront the banks and city.  It is no wonder when banks go bankrupt but then the government makes the taxpayer to step in to rescue them. Yet when it shows a profit it is soon distributed in bonuses instead of being made to pay it back to the taxpayers.

There is another broken promise of David Cameron of stopping these huge bonuses. Times and again he promised but when it came to it, it was quietly sidelined. At stage he said it takes time to do this but when Occupy launched a protest in no time he had it through the courts and they were removed. All the government’s action is certainly one-sided and not democratic.

All this mess is since Margaret Thatcher de-regulated the banking and finance system. That lady has a lot to answer for, for the shamble ever since exists and until the government does not regulate the banks and finance market there will be nothing but scandals coming up.

The scandal of the Libor but after it hit the headline we never heard anything about it and apart from one man being sacked but with a more than fat golden handshake which should have never been given. He also will receive big pension while ordinary people’s pension is getting cut.

David Cameron is certainly in this altogether and he must be smirking away at the ordinary people he keeps well down. However in the long run it will backfire in the economy when next year all the cuts will bite and the people have even less to spend. Well it also could be that the public will remember and not being swayed by more promises in the future. Time will tell.

UK MPS IN LANDLORDS' RACKET - UPDATED 22 May, 2015



UPDATED: 22 May, 2015  --  In my opinion nothing had been done to stop this racket which cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds. Most of them are friends of Cameron and therefore a blind eye is turned towards it




UPDATE:  23 July 2014 -- As always when one scandal gets overtaken by other news the first one dies a natural death and sure enough nothing had been done apart from promises that they will stop renting. This again Mr Cameron and his Cabinet failed in their leadership to see the matter effectively through.

  

UPDATE 20 OCTOBER 2012  --- The latest news on the subject is that the MPs could (please note the word - could) be banned from renting homes from each other. The Parliamentary Watchdog promised to look into it and closing the loophole. It is amazing when their is a scandal there is always a Labour MP being pointed at. Although being Labour and for what it should stand for it is twice as wrong.



Already the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority indicated that MPs will still be allowed to claim rent at the same time as they letting their property to other tenants. So far 27 MPs had been found out to claim rent and letting their property to others. Apparently they also moved out of their homes into rented accommodation when the rules changed and they were not being able to claim for mortgage interest. 


A new revelation of MPs furthering their income is they are renting out their property to their own colleagues. Herewith they have a guaranteed income, the MPs who renting the property claiming it on their expenses and the taxpayer pays for it. This method ensures that the owners eventually ends with a well provided nest-egg not to say that these properties are most properly top of the list.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority is planning to expose the MPs Owners of the properties.  To be sure nothing was done so far and most probably nothing will be done.
=================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
=================================================

The Common Speaker John Bercow was totally against the disclosure for the reason of security and privacy of the MPs. Good story. In his letter to the IPSA chairman Sir Ian Kennedy he warned that the MPs have great concern to disclose the details under the freedom of information laws. He pointed out further that this could lead to a great security risk.

On the other hand the Security minister Mr Brokenshire voiced his opinion that if there is any wrong doing it should definitely be investigated.

Labour MP John Mann added that he has no problem with MPs renting out properties but the public is entitled to know.

Another revelation of which most of the people didn’t know or think about it. For the MPs it is not a bad little scheme to built-up a property empire through claiming it on expenses which again comes out of the taxpayers’ pocket.  The MPs certainly never miss a trick to fill their pockets. 

David Cameron should stop their expenses' claim as a measure of austerity. Especially now since they have a  great salary's increase besides they so many other incomes from non-executive directors to untold shares in various companies. Nobody can claim their rent, energy expenses and petrol on taxes yet everybody does their job so why the MPs are an exception?  When they go to meetings all expenses are paid for anyway by the people who organised it.

IF YOU THINK  ABOUT IT, IT IS A LEGAL SWINDLE AND THE TAXPAYERS HAVE TO PAY.

BIGGEST JOKE MONEY SPENT ON WAKE-UP CALLS


A company has received £330,000 money from taxpayers to wake-up young jobless with morning phone calls. It is part of 'Youth Contract programme Neets' which is for teens not in education, employment or training. This is provided by Pertemps People Development Group located in the North East.

A spokesman Paul King said: “In some cases we have kids who would literally be in bed all day. That is the reality. A call that physically wakes them up is part of getting into a routine.” Basically it is a good idea but they don’t seem do realize that there aren’t any jobs especially for youngsters.

Deputy .Prime Minister Nick Clegg says he wants companies hired to get young people in work to be “creative”. Again great sounding words but companies don’t work like that any more. They employ you if you have either the qualifications and then they turn you down if you don’t have the practically experiences. They employ you if you have the practically experiences and picked up somewhere the technically knowledge up.

In the olden days they took you on for a certain time and if you can pick up the knowledge of the work fine and good but now the companies don’t do this any more. You should have used that money to create jobs. 

Don’t you know there are 2.5 millions unemployed including one million youngster can't get a job?
