What a load of BS!! Of course the government has powers - it's the government that legislates and makes the rules on who can get what under whatever circumstances.

What a bunch of spineless ****s we have for a political class. They must be worth 11% The official report on pay comes out this morning. Apparently the rules are to change so that MPs only get the "golden goodbye" if they are voted out of office and not if they apply for the stewardship of the manor of Northstead. Why should MPs get a "golden goodbye" only if they are voted out of office? In those circumstances they have effectively been sacked. If we get sacked we're out of the door, end of, and no redundancy package is forthcoming. Likewise if we elect to resign our positions. The same should apply to MPs. Might incentivise them to represent the public mood rather than their own self-interests and political agenda if they didn't have a fat wedge of our cash to look forward to in the event we voice our displeasure with them by voting for someone else.

They just don't get it and they never will. Derek Conway was caught paying his student son £40k Despite deselection etc he sat in the house for almost 2 years until there was an election

Apparently the changes are cost neutral - pay goes up but pensions and so on are coming down. So it won't cost us any more than it does now (apart from the admin/bureaucracy cost of deciding on and implementing the changes - and we all know how cheap that is when it comes to the public sector). What they should be aiming for is to make it cost us less. And that goes for everything - the bene's bill, the bureaucratic waste and expense, the creeping cost of capital projects as they progress (put private sector-style penalty clauses in the contracts, FFS!) and so on.

I have written several times to my MP asking why many of these men are still on benefits and just how long can the powers that be pretend these men are actively looking for work.....and when will their benefits be stopped and is it not true that these people are deliberately putting them selves beyond being employed by their dress and behaviour.... no surprise when back came the answer that the gov had no powers to oversea who does and who does not get benefits and its down to he individual areas etc ....nice get out but it doesn't wash..in that its government which sets the rates oif allocations of beenifits that the tax payers provide I would lurve to be prime minister for one year...oh my word... A few years ago somebody (who was as annoyed as most) put up a link to fill in a form to let the benefits office know of benefit cheats. Many many people filled in the form quoting Andy Choudary, stating that he was fit to work etc etc. I reckon that a few thousand reported him. Nothing done as usual.

If his sycophants thought he was a MI5 plant he'd be beheaded on live internet streaming quicker than you could say "stupid-looking beard."
Consequently, it's in the national interest for all right-minded citizens to actively work towards the establishment of this belief in his followers minds.
(I am of course joking, GCHQ and Plod).

Shop owners told they face 40 lashes if they continue selling 'evil' alcohol DOZENS of Muslim protesters walked with one of Britain's most controversial hate preachers to demand restaurants and shops in one of London's most popular areas stop selling alcohol. [Can you guess who?] Business owners in Brick Lane in Whitechapel, on the edge of the city, were told on Friday they face 40 lashes if they continue to sell their "evil" products. Brick Lane is one of London's trendiest areas and a popular location for Christmas parties. Anjem Choudary, who used to lead the Al-Muhajiroun group which has been banned under terrorism laws, told the crowd: "The shops are run by Muslims and they know they are selling alcohol and they know the sale and consumption of alcohol is completely prohibited. The protest, which was timed to coincide with the Christmas party rush this weekend, was delayed as a small group of English Defence League members organised a counter-protest. Choudary told those assembled that Brick Lane was a "den of iniquity" and that he wanted Britain to live under Sharia law. A recent report by Hope Not Hate suggested organisations linked to Choudary have encouraged dozens of young British Muslims to join the fighting in Syria. The report recommend that Choudary be considered a "serious player" in the promotion and recruitment of young Muslims to terrorist cells. www.express.co.uk/news/uk/448684/Anjem-Choudary-Brick-Lane-protest-warns-Muslim-shop-owners-over-alcohol-sale

SCUM RISES.....and until there is a serious backlash our country will continue to go down the Islamic drain so if these shop keepers have been told they face a whipping..why have those who threatened this not been hauled off to court and charged with threatening and intimidation ?? the law is quite clear on this... just who does choudary have in his pocket? ? better yet...who has choudary in their pocket
