Arrest in Expenses Fraud Inquiry

Shame the police don't react in the same way when an MP is suspected.

The head teacher of a Roman Catholic school in west London has been suspended while police investigate an allegation of expenses fraud.

Paul Patrick, 53, the head of Cardinal Wiseman School in Greenford, was arrested at his north London home.

Mr Patrick must answer police bail later this month, a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said.

A statement from the school said: "The school is co-operating fully with the police investigation."

Peter Mandelson, the European Trade Commissioner once said:

“We are now entering the post-democratic age.”

To put it more directly, an era of the totalitarian control of people by the state. We are in the grip of a narrow ruling elite, an “Ideological Caste,” that admits only those into power with the same views and expels after disgracing, any who dissent as in the public humiliation and sacking of leading scientist Dr.James Watson. The “Ideological Caste” is made up of Cultural Marxists who earn vast sums of money and live in the best areas, send their children to the best schools but impose equality on the rest of us. They are thought police but claim to be trying to correct centuries of unfairness, while in practice oppressing those with different views. They call it tolerance. They demonise their victims.

Why Labour is Now A Fringe Party.

Mass immigration and closer EU integration have no public support, says Jeff Randall:

Of the 15.6 million people who voted, 84.3 per cent did not put a cross in Labour's box. How dare they! Who are these 13,244,063 ingrates? Right across southern England, from Penzance in Cornwall to Margate in Kent, more than 90 per cent of the electorate rejected the party of Gordon Brown. Even in Labour's redoubts of Scotland and Wales, close to 80 per cent turned away.

Worse still, Ukip, the party of Nigel Farage, a booze-and-fags-loving habitué of London's clubland, was preferred to the weary collective that clings to Mr Brown's presbyterian conscience. Mr Farage is an engaging maverick who says the Prime Minister "devalued democracy" by ramming through the Lisbon Treaty. Britain's increasingly Eurosceptic voters seem to agree.

Alistair Darling, the Big Borrower, fingered his party's poor communications. "We need to explain ourselves better," he said. "We need to set out clearly what we are for." Wrong again. His problem was that Labour had explained itself too well – and we, the coping classes, were appalled.

Voters had not failed to understand Labour's offer; quite the reverse. On Europe, they saw through Mr Brown's plan to dilute even further Britain's sovereignty, caving in to Brussels, while circumventing our views.

For You Gordon, Ze Dream Iss Over. Alles ist in Scheiße!

Hope Those Turkeys Are Proud Of Themselves.

Mail privatisation to go ahead.

The government is insisting it will press ahead with the part-privatisation of Royal Mail, despite fresh demands by Labour MPs to drop the idea.

Mandy has told you that Gordon doesn't have to listen to you anymore.
You made your choice, now we have to live with it.

Well FUCK the Fucking lot of you spineless pricks.

The Turkeys Just Voted For Christmas.

A motion to dissolve Parliament and pave the way for an immediate general election has been rejected by MPs.

SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson called for an "historic, reforming election" to rebuild trust in politics in the wake of the expenses scandals.

But Welsh Secretary Peter Hain said an early poll would "trigger instability".

The motion was rejected by 340 votes to 268.

Mr Robertson told the Commons that arguments against dissolution were motivated by "pure naked self preservation" on the part of the Labour Party, which performed badly in the local and European elections.

Dead Labour.

During Monday's PLP meeting Charles Clarke, a former home secretary and MPs Fiona McTaggart, Tom Harris and Siobhan McDonagh told Mr Brown he should quit but others said it was overwhelmingly supportive of the prime minister.

Chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party Tony Lloyd told the BBC: "Gordon Brown is the prime minister, he will lead the Labour Party into the next general election... I can state that as a clear fact. "
