Guido Fawkes

Guido Fawkes is digging into a whole new seam of scams that have come to his notice. MPs are renting out buy-to-let properties that they own, to members of their own staff, to whom they authorise payments out of parliamentary expenses. Laundering their expenses via their staff back into their own pockets.Like a Victorian mill owner paying his tenanted workers in their own coin to pay back in rent and spend in their tied shops. Except MPs use our money…

Guido has also just been given information about MPs renting properties to other MP’s who claim for the rent on expenses, which they then pay into their MP mate’s pocket.

Also Michael Spencer the conservative Party Treasurer's finances are unravelling right now, despite his breaking every rule in the book.

IMO: I tend to agree with the following remark, which is very much a copy of Gordon Brown's "public-private-partnership: "(All the present politicians) have taken lessons from the fascists: “Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because “the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise… Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social.” Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.”

IMO: Further, Guido has gone on record to say he suspects the Tories won't be any better than Labor. I think they will be far far worse, but will try to cover up even more, being on the bleeding edge of fascism already. The ultimate result in the UK could actually be anarchy, in a bad sense. At the very least the UK need their own Amilcar Cabral, obviously though such a fugure would probably need a very different platform to Cabral's, circumstances being very different.
