Wonder if it's worth emailling that rant to Nige in preparation for the TV debates...

Guidance? GUIDANCE?? I'm sorry but in the real world when an employee uses expenses to pay for a new computer or flash piece of kit they are not allowed to take it with them when they leave so why the fuck are our elected troughers able to do so and do to so just before they leave can only be described as blatantly defrauding the taxpayer.

I deliberately avoided talking about that slimy lying troughing cockroach as if I started I'd have spend the day letting rip

Just let me see if I have this straight, £1 million to upgrade your subsidised private gym?? £1 million that could have been put to better use paying for essential services such as firemen, police officers, doctors, nurses and you think that it is perfectly justified to have it pay for your new fitness suite???  And just what the hell is a bloody spinning studio

An Essex council is at the centre of a political row after paying its chief executive £105,000 a year to run vital public services – from her home on the holiday island of Cyprus.
Jo-Anne Ireland emigrated to the sun-kissed Mediterranean isle in December, but has remained in her post through an arrangement lambasted as ‘bizarre beyond belief’ and an ‘absolute scandal’.
The 43-year-old is conducting business via email, phone calls and video conferences from her home 2,000 miles from Brentwood’s town hall – but critics say that is ‘not good enough’ for someone in charge of a £60 million-a-year budget.

The explanation is there in one word:  Brentwood.  When they built the A12 Brentwood by pass they worked out (probably correctly) there was no need to provide an exit to actually go into Brentwood.

Half a million pound to move your office a couple of hundred yards down the road. How many police officers could otherwise be funded for a year on that money. 

I've met the PCC for Devon and Cornwall and I have to say.........................he is a fucking moron who I wouldn't trust to organise a piss up in a brewery.

Quite.  I wonder if he has a deal with the landlord

Does anyone know of a single PCC that the world wouldn't be a better place if they'd kindly find another planet to go waste space in?
