Another expense 'fiddler' Nadhim Zahawi

Millionaire MP Mr Zahawi was recently discovered charging the taxpayer almost £6000 per year to heat his 20 horse stables and to heat his stable manager's mobile home. He claimed it was a mistake, however, if an ordinary person was to make a 'mistake' like this, they would be splashed across the Sun, Mail and Express, be held up as 'typical' of the working class 'plebs' referred to as 'idlers' shirkers' and 'scroungers' and hounded to within and inch of their lives and would certainly face prosecution and prison.
But if you are the millionaire Tory MP close friend of PM David Cameron you get to get away with your 'indiscretion', in much the same way that Liberal Democrat MP David Laws did when he was discovered fiddling over £50,000 housing allowances, he got a slapped wrist and given a week off. Mr Laws has now been brought back into the government and rewarded for his little 'indiscretion'.

Makes you bloody sick!

Questions:

Why does a man of Nadhim Zahawi's means and extensive property portfolio receive an allowance from the taxpayer for a second home in London? Why doesn't he just use one of his own properties?

Why has so very little been made of this in the right wing Tory supporting press, when if it were a labour MP they would act as if the sky was falling in?

Would this mean that the poor would be restricted to how many children they can have while the rich can carry on breeding with impunity?

Korben, you just dont get it....public sector fraud is only around 20 billion a year, best deal with the dangerous 1.2 billion benefit fraud.

and all the while claim extra "benefits" from the tax payer...but shhhhh...you are not supposed to notice.....

Now, now, don't make Colonel Blimp choke lol

The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The rich can never forget it.

No, after all, if some people aren't poor, they can't see themselves as rich can they!

And remember they get widescreen televisions and ipads all paid for by the taxpayer as well

Amazing huh!!

Mmmm a distinct lack of comment from the cap doffers and forelock tuggers.

maybe they just want to start small with the easily intimidated and most vulnerable and work their way up

lest we forget comrade the worst offenders were Labour!!!

Lest we forget comrades Gorbals Mick used thousands of pounds of taxpayers money trying desperately to cover it up.

Lest we forget there are far more lefties in prison because they really spanked it.


But of course you don't give a f--k about fraud when its a lefty or benefits cheat.

and it seems to me you applaud it when its the right....

now firstly, I have never said I dont give a f*ck about fraud, left right or benefits cheat....they should ALL get the same. BUT what I DO care about is the evil propaganda mostly lies) that you and others like you either produce or swallow in order to demonise the vulnerable in society...1% of public sector fraud is benefit fraud.....according to the govts own figures 69% is 14 billion out of 20 billion...69%

which do you think should be dealt with first??

mp's fiddling expenses is actually a relatively small amount, HOWEVER, these folks are abusing a position of trust....

dont you think THEY should be clobbered...and hard???
