When are they going to stop pussyfooting around and charge some of these people?

Expenses fraud is theft no iffs no buts.

Quote:

The Culture Secretary abused the Parliamentary expenses system by over-claiming for her mortgage and then failing to fully co-operate with an investigation into her conduct, The Telegraph can disclose

Quote:

It can also be disclosed that Mrs Miller has recently sold the south London house at the centre of the scandal for a profit of more than £1million.

The Cabinet minister, who has previously been supported by David Cameron, is expected to come under intense pressure to resign when the results of the official inquiry are made public.

CMD knows wrongdoing when he sees it. He will be cracking down hard on those energy profiteers and banking scum.

Maria Miller the most ineffectual minister in this third-rate government - she should go and go now - to jail!

From the same DT article:

Quote:

The Prime Minister will be loathed to lose the state-school educated female member of his Government but any minister found to have abused the Parliamentary expenses system is likely to be seen as a major electoral liability.
One Conservative source said: “We simply cannot have a member of the Cabinet found to have abused the expenses system in any way [b]this close to vital elections[/b].”

From which we are to understand; abusing Parliamentary expenses at any other time is quite acceptable. It would appear that for this particular Conservative MP, fiddling (stealing) expenses is not a crime – unless they get caught too close to vital elections, then it becomes an electoral embarassment.

I can think of a few more long-lasting reasons why MPs should be considered to be an electoral embarrassment. And Cameron, Clegg, and Miliband would be at the top of the list for the dreadful things they have all done to our country.

Maria Miller is a disgusting creature, but like Jacqui Smith, will get away with it.

Meanwhile, someone who overclaims £137.33 on council tax rebate will get six months inside.

It's much easier for these thieves and fraudsters to target and demonise those at the bottom of the pile.

Quote:

After a 14-month investigation, Kathryn Hudson, Parliament’s standards commissioner, said earlier this year that the Culture Secretary should hand back £45,000 in over-claimed allowances for a house in south-west London.

Person appointed to oversee MP's expenses sees wrongdoing but has no teeth to act.

Quote:

However, MPs on the Commons standards committee overruled the commissioner on Thursday and said Mrs Miller would have to repay just £5,800 and apologise for her “attitude” during the inquiry. The minister, who made more than £1.2million from the sale of the London property in February, subsequently gave a 32-second statement of apology in the Commons.

Seems her mates have helped her out a tad, very possibly poachers turned gamekeepers.

Quote:

David Cameron said afterwards that “people should leave it at that” and aides said the Prime Minister had given Mrs Miller his “warm support”.

Yes Dave we will leave it at that right up till the time you want an X in the box. You can go whistle..

Quote:

Sir Alistair Graham, the ex-chairman of the Commons Committee on Standards in Public Life, said Mrs Miller had “got off lightly”.

Mrs Miller escaped more serious censure because of the self-regulation of MPs. She is the Cabinet minister responsible for determining the future of press regulation and has repeatedly said the media must not be allowed to sit in judgment on itself.

A thoroughly corrupt system.

And they wonder why the fringe parties are taking votes from them!!

If you don't pay your council tax you can be thrown into jail but if you're an MP who claims for expenses she shouldn't claim for and in the process makes a huge profit on that same house you simply get a gentle tap on the wrist and remain a minister! What a farce!

P.S What does Maria Miller know about the arts and culture? Very little I'd suspect but she certainly knows a lot about the art and culture of larging-up MP expenses - shame on her and the others with their snouts in the trough. Personally I'd build a caravan site just outside London to provide accommodation for all MP's and bus them in each day, setting off at 7am. Anyone who doesn't show up has his/her pay docked. All MP's should be paid according to the time they actually spend in the House plus a mandatory time spent at surgeries in their constituencies.

Off topic but another example of where our taxes are going, Bellfield is a prime example of the sort of pikey c**t 'ayes and dray'on has a production line of. If they let him out tomorrow he'd walk into any hostelry around here and be giving it large by the pool table in minutes.

They should have given the con £4500 for at least having a pop.

Seems the Telegraph are not going to let the matter drop.. CMD it seems has dropped a bollock..

He is desperate for the matter to be dropped but it just keeps on biting at his ankles.

Quote:

Earlier today, Mr Cameron told critics to "leave it" now that Mrs Miller had apologised.

"What happened yesterday is that Maria Millar was actually cleared of the original charge made against her,” he said during a trip to Devon to inspect flood repairs.

"It was found she had made mistakes, she accepted that, repaid the money, she apologised unreservedly to the House of Commons so I think that we should leave it there."

Interestingly.....

Quote:

Thomas Docherty, the MP for Dunfermline and West Fife, has now written to Scotland Yard asking that they investigate Maria Miller over her parliamentary expenses.

Mr Docherty has now asked that Scotland Yard investiagate the "serious allegations" made against Mrs Miller and also claims that she did not cooperate fully with the inquiry into her conduct.

They should pop round 10 Downing street at 5.00 in the AM with their big door knocker and fetch Cameron in to answer questions about conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

We must watch very closely.. There is a political will to mute the press post Leveson and this very case exemplified that point with the Telegraph being warned off early in their investigation.
