But he was out in less than three months and returned to the Lords the following year after repaying £30,000. "kicked out of Parliament for a year and forced to repay the money " If we actually put these thieves in prison for a while, it may deter other MP's and Peers stealing money from the taxpayers of this country.

The “Huffington Post censors (or “moderators”, I am never sure which is the correct title), are a strange crowd, where consistency has little if any meaning in the decision to publish or not to publish,. For example, yesterday (Sunday 15th December 2013) a story appeared in the press, including the Huffington Post, concerning a rather nasty little man, who currently is Conservative MP for Stratford-on-Avon. The story appeared under the headline of “Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi Calls For 'Two Child Limit' On Benefits”. Having written about Mr Zahawi on previous occasions, particularly about his unsavoury MP's expenses claims for heating costs and other business activities, I put together another posting under the heading of, “Nadhim Zahawi: Competing to be the nastiest of the nasties.” for publication on this blog and in the comments sections of other publications. In the Huffington Post, comments are restricted in terms of the number of words allowable...
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/12/15/two-child-limit-benefits_n_4446773.html?utm_hp_ref=uk Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi would limit child benefit and tax credits to families' first two children. Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi would limit child benefit and tax credits to a families first two children. Another of the "Nasty party's" nasties to crawl out of the woodwork with proposals to save money for the tax payer. Zahawi, a member of David Cameron's policy board, rationalises his proposition with the notion that, "Capping welfare by family size would save billions and help the next generation think more carefully about their relationship with the welfare state". Politicians are renowned for their ability to have selective memory lapses when it comes to their own acts or omissions, but Zahawi takes first prize for patronising contempt, when he adds that "they can no longer assume the taxpayer has a bottomless purse...
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/11/02/mps-energy-expenses_n_4206018.html?utm_hp_ref=uk 340 MPs get their energy bills paid on expenses Nadhim Zahawi with David Cameron Since October of 2012, I have been posting comments on this Blog critical of MP's and their outrageous expenses claims, under headings such as "Mp's expenses. They are still at it." (18th October 2012) "MPs complain dinner expenses are not generous enough" (4th April 2013) "MP's have little or no shame" (8th May 2013) and various other postings of a similar nature. It is now clearly evident, that the public outrage and criticism of our elected representatives, initially brought about by the expenses scandal revelations of 2009, has had little effect in curbing the activities of these avaricious individuals who seem to have little, if any integrity. In these times when many people are facing stark choices in respect of heating or eating, when almost one ...
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/05/07/mps-demand-cheaper-alcoho_n_3228805.html?utm_hp_ref=uk MPs Demand Cheaper Alcohol In Commons Bars Hard on the heels of, "MP's complain dinner expenses are not enough" (as reported on 4th April 2013), comes this latest example of what has become an outrageous and patronising insult to the people of this country. By calling for cheaper alcohol prices in the Commons' bars and restaurants (already subsidised by £5.8 million of taxpayer's money), these "Honorable members" demonstrate a complete lack of empathy with a society where austerity rules and almost one million people rely on foodbanks to feed their families. Not satisfied with fiddling expenses to augment their already extortionate salaries, they seek to inflate their daily food allowance and now pay even less for their wines, beer and spirit...

Not satisfied with fiddling their expenses to augment their already extortionate salaries, they now seek to inflate their daily food allowance currently set at £15. That ...

Man has been eating horse meat in many countries all over the world for many years. Personally, I have never eaten it and would probably not choose to do so. However, it seems a bit hypocritical to jump up and down about eating horse, but have no qualms about eating cow or pig or deer. The only valid criticism would be that the labeling on the burgers or whatever, seems to have omitted the fact that the product contained horse meat. That is what should concern people most.
