    It was neither a Tory nor Liberal Democrat MP either.
    It matters not because, like the old town councils, they should not be claiming expenses! MPs are paid a more than decent wage and should be content with that. It is a career choice for them ---they don't have to do it.
    The town council used to be the same, people considered it an honour to be elected to serve on the town council, nowadays, they get paid a salary and can claim expenses, however, they can always increase the Council Tax to ensure that they are remunerated.

    There is no honour among thieves, whether claim 1 pound in expenses or thousands ---they are still on the make and make no mistake about it!

    It must be said, some of our naiver members have swallowed the whole Murdoch inspired media bull$hit vendetta against Corbyn in huge mouthfuls.

    Rachel Riley apparently saw a sign on a TFL bus stop that opined "Israel is a racist state," and took it upon herself to help Murdoch convince the bourgeoisie that Jeremy Corby is not only a terrorist sympathiser, but anti-Semitic to boot.

    Murdoch's sole aim was to help destroy Corbyn's Labour Party, high profile foot soldiers like Riley certainly helped him see off Corbyn's attempt to bring socialism to the proletariat.

    Instead, we ended up with our present, mainly corrupt Cabinet jammed packed full of Conservative and Unionist Cretins, led by a blonde-haired, grinning, smirking, clueless clown aided and abetted by their quisling sidekick Kier Starmer.

    "Levelling up", my arse.
    Come on BT the man that rubbed shoulders with the IRA and Hamas and squirmed and wriggled to avoid condoning anything his racist/ terrorist friends did for years right back to the Birmingham bombings ( listened to them when he was a younger man and leapords don’t change their spots ).

    Murdoch might have had him to a tee

    Eventually it caught up with him and his position was untenable when he blatantly denied being anti semetic but also once again refused to condone those that were.

    I know you loved him BT but he was just like the rest if we’re honest , me me ,me ,me and all I’m really bothered about is me.

    Corbyn thinks British troops should not be in Ireland.

    Corbyn thinks the IDF could tone down the violence in Israel/Palestine/Gaza and the West Bank.

    Corbyn thinks a united Ireland and a One State solution in Israel would bring a peaceful, negotiated existence because all citizens would have the same rights and have equal access to the things in life that improve the quality of life for all.

    I tend to agree, and I am telling you from someone who has met him several times, Jeremy Corbyn is NOT anti-Semitic, he just does not like the apartheid that is going on in Israel - neither do I!

    BT in a quick reply

    Abbas his Government is paying any Palestinians to kill Jews, and so they stab some Jew then are incarcerated in Jail. What do you think these Young Palestinians will do?

    “This picture tells the story co-existence within the Jewish state. Three women - a Christian from Mi'ilya, a Jew from Yehud and a Muslim from Qalansawe.



    How come Christian Arabs and Muslims serve in the Army if it is an ''Apartheid State''???
