Gordon Brown's expenses
Anonymous asked:
'I am at a loss as to why Gordon Brown’s expense claims have not come under more scrutiny. This guy while he was Chancellor chose to live in his own flat in London instead of Downing Street - probably costing us unnecessary additional security costs - with all the running costs charged to us. Shortly before he becomes PM he has a new kitchen fitted in the flat at a cost of around £9000, but as £9k would take him over the ACA limit for the year he splits the cost in two and charges it over 2 years. No sooner has he done that he then transfer the property into his wife’s name. His wife now has a lovely renovated flat at our expense. Why transfer the property to your wife if it is not for tax planning/house flipping? He then flips his second home to North Queensferry where he charges us for all the running costs there, such as gardeners, cleaners, Sky Sports. All this while living in 10 Downing Street and Chequers for NOTHING and earning £194000 a year. Yet somehow this is a non story.'
IMO: The metaphor is: We have three criminal gangs, who come around to our homes on a pretext and steal our possessions from our houses. Then the three gangleaders say "We are reformed now, and want to call again soon". Are we mugs enough to let ANY of them back ?
IMO: Presumably we need a government, especially after the police murders and violence at demos. So we will eventually have to give power to one of these criminal gangs, or possibly a consortium. Clearly a police or army run state is not wanted in the UK - yet. Therefore what we can do is to VOTE on June 4th, but not for one of the three gangs of crooks. Libertas is beginning to sound like the best choice but it is probably important to vote, but NOT Labor, or Tory. Libdem will not win at a general election, so they would be the best of the three, if regrettably anyone wants to vote for any of them.
