Spending Other People's Money


To repeat an oft-quoted opinion on socialists.

"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money [to spend]."

As the government sleaze-fest rumbles on, one morally-corrupt swill-gobbler's name jumped out of the page and screamed "Look at what an evil bastard I am!"

A GOVERNMENT minister is claiming up to £22,000 a year in expenses by saying that her mother’s modest bungalow in Yorkshire is her main home.

Baroness Thornton, a Labour minister in the whips’ office, has lived and worked in London for more than 30 years and has a £1m family house near Hampstead Heath.

However, Thornton has claimed about £130,000 since 2002 by designating her mother’s current bungalow and, before 2005, her mother’s previous home as her main residence.

Do you know? I think this is the same troughing sow who was a prime mover in Wednesday's Lords decision to force corner shops into hiding tobacco displays. The same inconsiderate shit who had this to say about a common sense amendment from Lord Borrie which would have lessened the financial impact.

I recognise the sentiment behind the amendments of my noble friend Lord Borrie. I assume that it is to achieve our public health objectives while minimising burdens on business; that is a laudable aim but, I fear, misplaced here.

Yep, the aim of attempting to avoid small retailers having to shell out £2,500 of their post-tax profits is a misplaced one, according to Thornton. Translated from swine-ese: 'It's not my money, so who gives a shit?'.

What this evil cunt has stolen could pay for the forced refurbishment of over 50 small shops. It would go some way to alleviate the £125m bill she has blithely helped land in the laps of the country's 50,000 corner shop owners (after they have paid their taxes from which she has been stealing), but don't expect the troughing fuck to volunteer this large wedge without a fight. Or at all. She is, after all, rotten, selfish, and corrupt to the core.

Not only that, she isn't stopping there. She wants to financially punish them even more.

Baroness Thornton, for the Government, described the measure as "another important step to a tobacco-free world"

Oh I see now. That is what she is in the Lords for, is it? To use her position to force her prejudicial will on 22% of the public, along with those who make a profit supplying a legal product, without any democratic mandate whatsoever ... and to build up her property portfolio on the back of those that pay taxes on such products and businesses.

Forget swine flu. Hopefuly this disgusting, self-righteous Labour whore will suffer an extended bout of the most virulent strain of Ebola, whilst being simultaneously beaten with cricket bats by a horde of angry asian shopkeepers.

Seems fair to me.
