Dear All
Here is a laugh which isn’t funny.
Tory MP, Julie Kirkbride who resigned over the expenses row could fight the next general election.
Now that really is taking the public for mugs.
Julie Kirkbride announced she was standing down from parliament two months ago amid heavy criticism of her living arrangements with husband Andrew Mackay. In other words both she and her husband were milking the expenses system for every penny they could stuff in their pockets.
Ms Kirkbride; herself had claimed thousands of pounds in Commons allowances against the couple's family home in her Bromsgrove constituency, while her husband Tory MP for Bracknell claimed for the property they shared in London.
Although not illegal, it is certainly unethical and morally questionable.
Her husband, an aide to David Cameron fell on his plastic sword and announced that he would not stand again at the next General Election too.
Their use of scheme meant all the couple's accommodation was effectively paid for by the taxpayer, sparking widespread anger among voters.
Now, with a bit of dust settled the chairman of the Bromsgrove Conservative Association said that Ms Kirkbride could still be their candidate.
That is really treating the public with massive contempt.
A 3300 strong local petition calling for her to stand aside was raised by local people to try and get rid of her; the Tories say that has now been "discredited".
Complete and utter rubbish!
Now we have the farce of the Tories trying to present Kirkbride as a “popular” MP.
Having both screwed the taxpayers the Kirkbrides are a disgrace and unfit for public office. The fact they are claiming they acted within the rules shows that they cannot present a moral case.
If Kirkbride is selected for the General Election; she should lose his seat and leave public life.
I said in a previous post elsewhere that we had not heard the last of Kirkbride; it seems that I was right again about her popping up.
In corrupt Britain, this isn’t surprising, we will now be subjected to a Cherie Blair type speech in due course.
Yours sincerely
