			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Labour political sleaze. It just goes on and on. Yet more Labour political sleaze in the papers today. More &amp; more I just think members of the Labour party are slyly trying to rake in all the tax payers money they can through dubious  legal expenses before they get voted out.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s a well known face or just some otherwise unknown member of the Labour party. They are virtually all at it. Unfortunately for the tax payer this sinking ship that is the Labour government will take a lot longer to go down than the Titanic. I&#8217;m not trying to make out other political parties are perfect here but the proportion of Labour party members getting busted for political sleaze does seem to be far higher.</p>
<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s legal&#8217; they all claim! That doesn&#8217;t make it right! I call these <a href="http://www.aid-renegade.com/2009/02/politicians-legal-thieves/" target="_blank">politicians legal thieves</a>. They almost always get away with nothing more than a bit of bad publicity claiming &#8216;I&#8217;ve done nothing wrong&#8217;. Yes you have you examples of Labour political sleaze! So, a few weeks later they hope the bad political sleaze publicity is forgotten &amp; carry on quietly claiming more in expenses than most honest hard working people earn in a year.</p>
<p>&#8216;I need it for my job&#8217; they claim. Wrong! You need such a small amount of what you claim for real job expenses you are just milking at the tax payers teat &amp; greedily gobbling up all you can while you can. Theres nothing us, the hard working taxpayer, can do about it because politicians are virtually unpoliced &amp; set their own rules about how to use our money.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t get to vote on wether or not I wanted my tax money to be blown on bailing out banks, the same as I don&#8217;t get to vote on whats reasonable for these political sleaze politicians. Hey, ever wondered why most taxpayers don&#8217;t trust politicians? Because these labour politicians just take, take, take. When busted in public they just secretly smile to themselves, patting themselves on the back for how they beat the system.  I think greed &amp; an easy paypacket motivates a lot of these Labour sleaze politicians.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had enough of this Labour political sleaze. It&#8217;s a big part of why I started this blog. Oh for the spirit of the Iron Lady to empower David Cameron. I&#8217;m not sure if he&#8217;s got the balls the balls to be a real leader of England &amp; ignore the human rights act that has brought England to it&#8217;s knees legally for a start. Cherie Blair made a lot of money after her hubby, the then PM Tony Blair got the human rights act through parlament. Wasn&#8217;t this ever pulled up a a major conflict of interest for a PM?</p>
<p>So Mr Cameron, Tory PM hopeful, grow some balls &amp; let the English public know it. Then you have the next election in the bag. Stand up to the EU to. We pay the corrupt EU far more money than England can afford right now. Rip all the public sector quango jobs out &amp; really tighten the governments belt. You could kill Labours debt legacy a lot faster if you are prepaired to make the tough decisions in the interests of the country long term. Of course you must limit those examples of Labour political sleaze &amp; limit those expense accounts too.</p>
<p>Labour political sleaze, when will it end?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So heres some PC stories since January 1st 2009.</p>
<p>Steve Bendon had his Vespa scooter stolen. He called the police &amp; they told him they could&#8217;nt send anyone to investigage so he got in his car &amp; followed the Vespas tyre tracks in the frost before it melted. They led to a nearby housing estate so he returned to the estate the same night &amp; listened for the sound of his Vespas engine. Sure enough, he spotted his scooter being riden around &amp; called police again. What does the (so called) plice force do? They warn Steven that HE could get in trouble for chasing the yob who was on HIS scooter! The police later retrieved his wrecked scooter &amp; told him it would cost £170 to get it released from the police pound.</p>
<p>Any wonder no one believes in the abilities of the police to do the right thing any more! Heres more PC gone mad:</p>
<p>Head Teacher Linda Kingdon of Watercliff Meadow school, Sheffield, South Yorkshire has, get this, banned the word &#8216;school&#8217; incase it upsets pupils parents. She now calls it &#8216;a place for learning&#8217;. Now &#8216;call me stupid&#8217; but isn&#8217;t that one definition for the word &#8216;school&#8217;?</p>
<p>Morrisions sell a wiskey flavoured cheese. I&#8217;t a little block of cheese that costs £1, but some hade to prove they were over 18 to buy it.</p>
<p>A 20 year old was told she&#8217;s too young to buy a set of knitting needles, It seems, I guess, you must be supervised by someone over the age of 21 to knit!</p>
<p>A bus driver on duty &amp;  in need of a pee but unable to find an available toilet eventually had to pull over to go behind some bushes. Despite a totally clean record up to this point he was fired for gross mis conduct. Talk about an over reaction.</p>
<p>York council offered 4 £500 pushbikes to the police force for community support officers. The police turned them down as it was &#8216;dangerous to assume&#8217; they would not fall off saying they were not trained to ride them!</p>
<p>The above are just the stories I heard of in the news since the start of the year. I&#8217;m sure there will be more to come!</p>
