Snout In The Trough Yet Again

[secsee1]

Do they never learn? yet again one of our so called leaders, the speaker of the house John Bercow has been shown to have his "snout in the trough" by spending over £2000 of tax payers money on beeswax candles also over £500 on pictures of himself, this man earns £142,000 a year as speaker of the commons, isn't it about time we made him pay back these outrageous expense claims?

[dannyk13]

Surely one of the worst speakers we have had, a parasite.

Beeswax candles? Wicked!

[Cloverjo]

Yes, we should make him pay it back. It should never have been allowed as an expense in the first place.

Par for the course:

Remember "Gorbal's Mick?"...the Scottish freeloader, then there was Billy Tollywaddle or some such name...a Welsh wind bag.

It's a good job to get.......

I've just fallen of my chair laughing Sqad, who the Hell is "Billy Tollywaddle"?

[Khandro]

Wasn't there a scandal about the speaker's William Morris hand printed wallpaper a few years ago? I think it's a prestige showing off thing, a form of compensation in his case too, (PC won't allow me to say for what though!).

[Sqad]

secsee.......George Thomas....perhaps it was Pandywandy or tolly pandy..........you've got the picture.

Thomas George Thomas, 1st Viscount Tonypandy,

[Sqad]

Thank you Tilly........

[Tilly2]

You're welcome, Sqad.

[secsee1]

Thanks for putting us right on "tollywaddle folks, but going back to the subject I can't believe they are letting this overpaide parasite get away with this!

[dannyk13]

Sqad, please don't compare this parasite with George Thomas,one of the best speakers.

[Sqad]

O.K^^

It was Tony Blair's mate, Derry Irvine, who spent £160,000 on wallpaper. (he was Lord Chancellor)
Much as I dislike Bercow, nobody could hold a candle to the revolting 'git from the gorbals'.

[Berniecuddles2]

you the wonderful british people vote these people in..so glad i have never voted labour or tory or any other party crooks the lot of em!

[secsee1]

Well said Berniecuddles2 I'm beggining to wonder if there is such a thing as an honest polititian, it very much seems to me that most of them are a bunch of crooks

[Svejk]

Hardly the answer, not to vote, is it? Although of course, it's a free world.
