Let's rack up just some of the lies that the Labour Party have spouted in the last couple of weeks:
Income Tax. This government made an election manifesto pledge that they would not raise income tax. Well, we know that Moron's government have broken that promise for top earners but it's less publicised that they have also raised the bottom rate of income tax.
Big Sister. Earlier this week, the home secretary Jacqui Porn Queen Smith announced that she was ditching controversial plans for a single “big brother” database to centrally store all communications data in Britain. This was a plan to monitor all internet use and telephone calls across the country but Porn Queen announced “the government recognised the privacy implications of the move [and] therefore does not propose to pursue this.” In a move designed simply to grab favourable headlines, she added that £2 billion of public money would instead be spent helping private internet and telephone companies to retain information for up to 12 months in separate databases. However, she was, of course, lying through her teeth. GCHQ is pursuing its MTI (Mastering The Internet) programme, developing classified technology to intercept and monitor all e-mails, website visits and social networking sessions in Britain. The agency will also be able to track telephone calls made over the internet, as well as all phone calls to landlines and mobiles. The snooping project will rely on thousands of 'black box' probes being covertly inserted across online infrastructure and is costing more than £1 billion.
Public accountability. As if the ignominy of be ripped off by the trough-swilling Westminster gluttons wasn't bad enough, having been promised full disclosure by Moron, we now learn that the House of Commons fees office is censoring some of the most important details of MP's expenses prior to publication this summer. Among the information being blanked out are the names of hotels on trips, the destinations of taxis, names of shops and any correspondence with parliamentary officials. The extent of the cuts has surprised some MPs who favour greater disclosure. Ben Wallace, the Conservative backbencher who was the first MP to publish full details of his claims, said: “It’s just ridiculous. They sent me details of a taxi journey I had made from Euston station to parliament and they had redacted the details of the journey. They have also removed the names of some suppliers I have bought goods from. I have written to them saying there is no reason the public cannot be given this information.” I guess we should be grateful that at least there is some integrity floating around Westminster.
MP's expenses. Where to start with this topic? How about Moron's bizarre appearance on YouTube, during which he blatantly lied through his forced, fake and spine-shuddering 'smile'. He claimed that he was introducing a plan that would reduce the total exposure to the tax-payer. However, his daily rate plan would have cost us all more than the incredulous £93 million that we forked out last year. Thankfully, his back-benchers realised that their jobs were at stake and blocked the proposal. How about Jim Devine, MP for Livingston, who has claimed £17,000 in "car and mileage" costs? It transpires that his office manager was the one driving Devine around his constituency in her own vehicle at her own expense. Presumably he re-paid the £17,000 of our money to her? No, Marion Kinley "received only £60." Then there's Labour peer Baroness Uddin who named a flat in Maidstone as her main residence and claimed around £100,000 in Parliamentary expenses for it. This is despite the flat being empty and Baroness Uddin living in Wapping, just four miles from the House of Lords. Lest we forget the Labour MP who claimed the cost of building a sauna on his second home allowance, insisting that a skin condition made it necessary for him to have regular sessions at his home. Now we learn that David Miliband is renting a private jet. Ministerial code states that scheduled flights should be used wherever possible so why does he need a private jet permanently on standby. The tender states "must provide a first class service and be able to provide an aircraft sometimes within a few hours' notice" to destination such as "Europe, Sri Lanka and the USA". I guess you can't get scheduled flights to these destinations then.
Bastards ... slimy bastards all over the world!
