Gordons transparency

[Miss Creant Commander of the picklement and baking BAb(Hons)]

Mr Brown was accused of "falling at the first hurdle" in his efforts to reform Westminster by refusing to release the full report of an inquiry into Mr Malik's affairs.
Sir Christopher Kelly, the chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, said last night the report should be published.




Glad to see that he is starting as he means to go on.

PMQs should be fun today...

Now he ius going to reform everything - excellent, except he has no mandate whatsoever... 

And making the Lord's so that everybody has to be elected...?  He'll have to chuck out half of his cabinet!

Gordo's electoral reforms will work on a point system.

Votes for labour will be worth 4 points while votes for anyone else will be worth 0.25 points.

Gordon is becoming more transparent by the day!!!!!




"The inquiry will receive the full co-operation of the Government - with access to all Government papers and the ability to call any witnesses -with the objective to learn the lessons from the events surrounding the conflict. It is on this basis that I have accepted the Cabinet Secretary’s advice that the Franks Inquiry is the best precedent.

Taking into account national security considerations as the Franks Inquiry did - for example, what might damage or reduce our military capability in the future - evidence will be heard in private. In this way also evidence given by serving and former ministers, military officers and officials will, I believe, be as full and candid as possible".


No one will be compelled to answer questions  put to them, there will be no legal requirement to do so.

Self-pity isn't going to work you fucking mong, we have had enough of your megalomanical fisting of these isles. Now please, for the sake of all of us, take a good look at Beachy Head.

Letter in Torygraph today:

SIR – Mr Brown is now so transparent I can see right through him.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Siyasat-e-Ruz newspaper

?Brown is one of the most inefficient politicians of England who has witnessed cases of financial corruption in his cabinet ? and has moved his country towards collapse and destruction??

Guido writes

MPs Quietly Increase Unreceipted Expenses By 25%

Wait for recess, slip out the updated ?Green Book? of rules for MPs. This is the post Expensegate rule book for expense claiming written essentially by MPs, for the benefit of MPs.

Surprise, surprise they have upped the amount they can pocket in cash, tax free, without the need for receipts from ?400 a month to ?500 a month for ?subsistence?. A benefit worth over ?9,000-a-year if they paid tax on it. They of course don?t. Troughers like Tom Watson and Alan Duncan all took the full amount available in the past for ?subsistence??. Will they dare do it again? Guido will be watching?

Why are MPs paid subsistence for just doing their jobs, they would presumably still have to eat if they were not MPs? Families of four survive on less than the ?125 a week the MPs claim they need to pig out on groceries. It is just a tax free bung to themselves.

Incidentally, they will spin that this was done before Expensegate and is all the fault of that idiot Speaker Martin. It was indeed initiated by Speaker Martin, but it was approved and finalised on the quiet by Speaker Bercow. So much for a new era?

Love this comment from a reader of the Evening Standard about a story that Brown ignored the warning signs...

Please do not publish photos of Brown. Most people I know cannot bear the sight of this dishonest incompetent who has delivered nothing but wrack and ruin to this country.
