keithisco Posted April 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Will she do the right thing and resign??? "If the Commissioner had been able swiftly to establish the facts relating to Mrs Miller's mortgages, and had been able to gather the documentation which would have allowed her (and has allowed us) to judge the relationship between the changes in bank base rate and the interest charged to Mrs Miller, this might have been a relatively minor matter," the committee said. Instead, it said, the investigation had been mired in "delay and difficulty", arising from "incomplete documentation and fragmentary information". "Mrs Miller has to carry significant responsibility for that." "Officials would press her for information and the information that was provided appears to have been the minimum necessary," it explained. She gave incomplete evidence, tried to obfusticate the proceedings, and basically stole from the Taxpayer. A typical Politician in other words. She, and anyone else caught out in this manner should be banned from holding ANY Political office, IMO Link (courtesy BBC): http://www.bbc.com/n...litics-26865695 Edited April 3, 2014 by keithisco 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted April 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As well as Ms Miller, the investigating committee should also be forced to resign. How can anyone so blatantly committing fraud be found "not guilty of making false expenses claims"? The Standards Committee ensure the bus tickets are well-watered before slapping MP's on the wrist with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewinn Posted April 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2014 hopefully where the committee failed, people power will succeed, at the next election the people in her constituency should vote her out. Okay she'll get a pay off but after that she'll be finished. all political careers end in disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithisco Posted April 3, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted April 3, 2014 What I find incredible is that these people do not have a conscience. Public money is avaialable fo them to feed at the trough, they can lie, tell "partial" truths and will still get elected next time because they said "sorry". The amounts are staggering when you consider that failure to pay the BBC license fee can (and often does) lead to a Criminal conviction, and possible incarceration. Bring the Politicians to account in a criminal court (not a Civil Court) and force them to live up to the standards expected of the electorate! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaterasu Posted April 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Aww her apology makes me feel so much better ... not She is just another in a long line of the thieving gits that got caught out. She won't resign, she has got more front than Brighton Pier, her apology has been accepted by Parliament so is expected to be accepted by us serfs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonecrusher Posted April 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) She's resigned now as a MP.It should have been hard labour on a chain gang.Not just for tax expense diddling but the way she's put the boot in Remploy and disabled people in general.I might be okay now but some of my fellow ex employees are still in the doldrums.If only they could reverse the decision and re-open them.Exclusively for the guys who do need sheltered employment.

Oppono Astos Posted April 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Benefits cheat pure and simple, however she and her cronies try to spin it. What continues to gall is that in resigning as a minister she still gets a 17K pay-off for doing that, if I resign from my private sector job I get diddly squat!!!
