Incitatus

On May 16 2008 the High Court rejected the taxpayer funded case brought by MP’s on our behalf to stop us seeing how our money was being spent by MP’s.
In respect of MP’s desire to prevent publication of the details of houses for which we were paying they said

“an individual who is determined to discover the residential address of an adult, law-abiding citizen is likely to be able to do so by one legal means or another”

What was the MP’s reaction to this? Change the law. On July 22 2007 Hariett laid before the house
Statutory Instruments
2008 No. 1967

Freedom Of Information
The Freedom of Information (Parliament and National Assembly for Wales) Order 2008
Of course the debate on this was feirce, NOT, as I think modern youth say. As you will see if you check Hansard, not a word was uttered about this attempt to place MP’s above the law of the land.
My own MP, Lorely Burt (Solihull) (LD), was actually one of the few in the house at the time. I have written to her about this.
I understood that we elected MP’s to challenge the government. Why is it that when the government is sneaking in legislation that places MP’s above the law and overturns a judgement made in the high court (a judgement that they didn’t challenge) not one of them has the bottle to do anything?

Gorden Brown's expenses

So we are to have an inquiry into the causes of the Iraq war. Held in secret, with witness not under oath and conducted by mates of Tony Blair. It seems the results of this inquiry will be pretty much like the results of the “open government’s” publication of MP’s expenses.
It seems that we are free to know more of what is happening in the dictatorship of Iran than in our own country!

Today the House of Commons has finally released details of MP’s fiddles. Having tried everything they could to prevent this information ever being given to the people who pay it and charging us for the legal fees in the process, they release censored versions. So censored as to make the whole thing pointless. Just take a look at Blair’s…every detail of what this money grabbing god bothering, war monger creep stole has been removed.
Let us be grateful that the Telegraph got the uncensored version first.
In Iran people take to the streets to protest at their democracy being stolen, here we just moan and put up with it. This is the final slap in the face for the people of this country from a group of people now far beyond the law. Censored expenses, carefully doctored to be meaningless are pointless and just show how much this shower of shit have to hide.
