How very Tory

CUT & PASTE

Francis Maude, multi-millionaire ex-banker, took thousands of pounds from the public purse when he rented out the Westminster house he owns and bought another one a hundred yards away so that he could claim the mortgage payments on his MPs expenses and get everyone else to buy him another home to add to the four he already had.

That's how much this greedy despicable hypocrite cared about the deficit when he was sucking up public money for himself.
Then is wasn't so much Big Society as Pig Society, with piggy-eyed Francis Maude with his snout in the trough.

How was he punished for his greed? Cameron promoted him.
David Cameron and Francis Maude: 'All In It Together'.
Right up to their effing necks.

He should be in the nick with every other cheating bastard of whatever party

comp, I was taken in, I thought Clegg was the real deal. In my defence I have always voted SDP/LD since the SDP was formed (with the exception of 1997 when I thought Blair was also the real deal)

Bloody good job I dont gamble, I would be skint :o

I reckon you fancied both Clegg/Blair, (well Blair was quite nice when younger) and you were overwhelmed by good looks and charm!

Mind you IMO Cleggers is aging by the day!

Cleggers looks like someone who thought he had bought a Mars Bar and then found it was full of crap when he bit into it.

Poor sod is taking the hits for Tory policies and getting no credit for any good he is doing (where is my magnifying glass :o )

What are Clegg's policies? How could he impliment any of them? when his parties such a minor player in he Coalition.

His mistake was to say he would not raise tuition fees, mind you he never probably though he would be in a coaltion. It will be very interesting to see how his political career pans out, after the next election.

Perhaps you should vote for Cameron, he says he's a Liberal Conservative also see how similar he is to Clegg! Great photos bottom of page! Grin

Listen to Eddie Mair catch Francis Maude out on volunteering here

jkklpu · 16/02/2011 21:02

Sorry,

LegoStuckinmyhoover · 16/02/2011 21:28

Just read on wikipedia:
"His [Maudes] personal net wealth is estimated at £3m. Despite this, during a discussion on Newsnight (22/10/10) he argued that a 5% cut to his £65,738 salary was equal to the 'pain' suffered by Britain's poor".

Nice.

QueenBathsheba · 16/02/2011 21:31

Has anyone heard Maude interviewed about the big society.

complimentary · 16/02/2011 21:33

Jkklpu. That was a great link. Maude was well and truly 'caught out!'

georgeorwell · 16/02/2011 22:16

comp never said anyone on here's paid to propagandise for the tories. that was paul88's insinuation who's since gone awol. i always get the blame for everything.

however, if you're a daily mail reader you won't let the truth get in the way of a good bit of bias, eh?

if you could do with a few bob you shouldn't be a tory supporter btw.

georgeorwell. I read all the good papers the Daily Mail, Telegraph, Times, and the Sun (my husband likes the boobs on page 3). The only paper I don't buy is a filthy North London rag called the Guardian, I don't like papers that sneer at the working classes, that are pretentious, cowardly, some of those people who buy it are Libtards who think they are better then the general population.

No, my local newsagent sells at least 5 copies of the Guardian daily! I suppose that's about right with it's daily circulation of 285.000.
The Mail has a circulation of 2.4 million and half the readers are women, so yes, it's my preferred paper, with others.
My favourite magazine is 'Nuts'. Even if it's aimed at men! It's so sexist it's a right laugh isn't it! Grin

Let's put it like this Mr or Mrs Georgeorwell if you are looking for a fight, you will certainly find it on here! PS I don't support the Tories, never have.

The Daily Mail, the only toilet paper that comes with the shit already in it :)

The Guardian is for people who want their opinions to be informed not manipulated.

I read both that must make be bi-polar Grin

georgeorwell · 17/02/2011 09:36

who's looking for a fight comp? and here was me thinking i could enter into some reasoned debate on here as opposed to factions sniping at each other.

what's all this guardian hate about? i don't read it except online occasionally but i often suspect the antipathy towards it is motivated by envy at its erudite, pithy pitch (charlie brooker par example) and an inability to understand all the words.

Queen yes it does!

complimentary · 17/02/2011 09:37

Newwave. For your comments about my lovely newspaper, I would say I would hit you around the head with copies of the Guardian!!Grin
But unfortunately I can't find enough of them at the local post office!

You could metaphorically beat me to death with the circulation of the Mail!Grin

p.s. Bet your local newsagents sells loads of my favourite paper, just rushing out to get a copy!!Before they are snapped up.

Have a nice day! Smile

Inability to understand the words in the Gaurdian?. I don't need to understand the terminology in this old rag.
All I need to know is that it calls itself the most 'Liberal paper in the world'. Most if not all Guardian readers live in affluent areas Primrose Hill, Muswell Hill etc; they look down their snouts at those "awful working class people in council estates, who are racist, thick and ignorant". Whilst supping cappucinos at the local cafe/starbucks. They sneer at the working classes for being worried about mass immigration whilst ensconcing themsleves in white middle class areas. Cameron a 'Liberal Conservative' (according to him) bypassed 15 schools near downing street, so that he could get his daughter into a oversubscribed state schooL. His nearest school the first language of the children was Arabic. Georgeorwell I have nothing against individual people who read the Guardian, but the paper stinks of hypocrisy and so do a lot of the readers! GrinIncluding Cameron!

Guardian.

claig · 17/02/2011 10:21

complimentary, thank you for your input on the Guardian. it's about time someone told the truth. Wine

georgeorwell · 17/02/2011 10:24

the torygraph is hardly respectful of the working classes though is it comp?

claig · 17/02/2011 10:25

and QueenBathsheba, it is certainly not bipolar to read both the Guardian and the Daily Mail. Your are reading one to see the lies, and the other to read the truth. Complimentary has given a concise explanation of which is which.

georgeorwell · 17/02/2011 10:31

deciduousblonde to elaborate i meant if you're not rich it's illogical if not downright masochistic to be a tory as they exist solely to advance the interests of the moneyed classes at the expense of the non rich. period. and anyone duped by their aspirational bollox is just plain deluded.
