Campaign: More Money Needed for Bandwidth

Looks like our MPs need more communications budget to pay for bandwidth! Under the magnifying glass Julie Kirkbride MP has been taken off the Internet as her hosting package doesn’t meet the needs of the electorate. Perhaps fate is hinting at the future awaiting this MP.

The Lone Voice pointed out earlier that Nadine Dorries’ blog had also fallen off the Internet.

Regardless, I think we should all put our hands into our pocket to help out these public servant… no wait, our pockets have already been dipped by a criminal gang working out of Westminster.

MP Doesn’t Know Who Collects Taxes

I can’t believe the media didn’t spot the fact that the Communities Minister, Hazel Blears MP, had a worthless cheque for £13k in her hands the other day! It didn’t have a payee on it!

Still not sure if it is a blank payee?

Looks very much like no payee details!

For Hazel’s benefit, the taxman is called “HMRC” or “Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs”. Heck they probably would also accept “The Capital Gains Bastards”! Here’s hoping she can now finish off that cheque and get it into the post ASAP following my little piece of advice. The country desperately needs this kind of cash in the current financial crisis caused and overseen by the people in power.

I realise many MPs will all be struggling about who collects the taxes of the sheep and plebs so I count this blog post as a public service to the 650 odd “Honourable Members” that attend the mother fucker of all Parliaments, located in that modest wee building in Westminster.

One further tip….Try to avoid numbered Swiss bank account numbers and Cayman Island bank accounts in the payee part of any cheques written out to the taxman.

I really can’t wait for the next general election so the mass cull of all these political parasites can begin.

The Barber

The Barber –
One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’ The professor is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen different books, such as ‘How to Improve Your Business’ and ‘Becoming More Successful.’

Then, a Member of Parliament comes in for a haircut , and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The Member of Parliament is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the Members of Parliament.
