So if I understand this correctly, Darling is living RENT FREE in No. 11 while claiming second residence allowance and RENTING out his london flat???

How the hell does that conform with expenses rules? How the hell can he be eligible for a second home allowance if he is living rent free. We are essentially paying for 2 homes for the useless mealy moouthed grasping tossmonger. Banghead

Post by: Grumpmeister on April 06, 2009, 03:28:42 PM: Democracy my arse, if we lived in a democracy then there would ahve been an election called when Blair weaseled his way out of Number 10 after realising that he could make more money on the lecture circuit and was running out of time before he had a vote of no confidence stuck up where the sun doesnt shine.

Even now Brown is refusing to set a date for the next election, he knows he will be out on his useless arse as soon as the votes are counted. It won't matter how many people he bribes with tax cuts and extra benefits, the rot has sent in far too deeply for him to be able to hang on.
