Remember these are also the same people that claim for a second home even though they live in London. They inhabit a different planet to the rest of us.

It is a terrible day when finding out that a politician has lied and defrauded us doesn't even make me bat an eyelid. We as a nation are almost becoming desensatised to the filthy fraud that is going on right in front of us.

Wont be for long now…

Please Mr Griffin, lead our country to victory, prosecute these filthy politicians, take back our money. Never let it happen again.

I do hope you are right about the BNP in Westminster after the next election. But knowing the stupidity of so many Brits I wouldn't be that surprised to see Labour returned.

Isn't it a criminal offence to lie about qualifications in order to obtain reward?

Absolutely. It's a reality that political parties change over time, the BNP being one of them. The sad state of affairs however was recently aired with elderly folks chanting the mantra "I've voted Labour all my life" and "It's the working man's party".

Times change and New Labour (what part of "New" aren't they getting after 10 years?) are nothing to do with the working class. The BNP has inherited that role.

It just goes on and on doesn't it.
Bercow was voted as speaker to annoy the Conservatives.
Not cos he was the best man for the job.
600 odd children playing about in a big old building.
It beggars belief.

This parasite who has lied to obtain a privilaged position and rip off the tax payers should be prosecuted for fraud and made to pay back the money she has earned whilst living the blatant lie of pretending to have qualifications to gain positions in companies that she would never have achieved otherwise. And her snivelling little turncoat of a husband must have know she did not possess the qualifications and as such should be sacked immediately.

It seems that all they ever want is more and more of our money and will stoop to any depths to get it. I would gladly say to them, " take the whole damned lot and feed, house and clothe us all yourselves"! How I would love to stand at one of their open graves and shovel on top of their rotten coffins, all the money that would fit in the damned hole!

Off topic, but a nasty misleading headline in the Telegraph's online news today Monday 23:
'Violence as Nick Griffin attends rally in Spain'.
The key word is 'as', for when you read the full report you find that Nick had nothing at all to do with the 'violence', which concerned two rival groups some distance away from the Madrid hotel in which Nick was.
The clever use of 'as' implies that Nick was involved with, or that his presence was the cause of, the trouble.
The report has now been removed from the main page, but it can be found under 'search'.
We can expect a lot more of this truth-twisting as the General Election draws near.

Even wives are not beyond corruption, don't tell me Bercow didn't know, if he didn't know his wife keeps secrets or lies to him. Why drive when you can get the tax payer to foot the bill, otherwise there would be more MPs on drink drive charges, you can bet.

Lying, thievery and corruption has all become so commonplace they don't even care. Gone are the days when honour was preserved at the risk of life and limb and the forfeiture of a place in society. Nowadays a place in the sun is forfeited if you don't throw everything you've got at it and then some in order to retain it. John Bercow probably drafted all his wife's CVs for her anyway, if the truth be known, and touted them round all the parties until he found a fetid niche suitable for his other half in one of his suite of chauffeur-driven cars. Silly Berk Cow!

That is not quite true, they are just not as smart as the old guard and are getting found out.

How exactly does a marriage survive when one half is a member of the Tory party, and the other in the Labour party? Or is it due to the fact that there's not the slightest bit of difference between these parties any more?

Mrs Bercow should be prosecuted for trying to obtain advantage or goods by pecunary deception! Any ordinary "subject" would spend a few hours in police cells after removing their shoe laces and turning out their pockets before being let out on police bail.However in this case don`t hold your breath!

To a previous poster (sorry, I failed to note your name!) …..but,yes it can be a criminal offence to acquire a position of employment from uttering a document making false claims – it used to be a charge of gaining (or attempting to gain) a pecuniary advangtage. Of course, if you are an ordinary Jo or Jo-ess that may well still apply but for her…well, probably not, eh! No summons or court case for this lady, I regret

'In an indication of the similar nature of all three Westminster parties, Mrs Bercow has been a member of the Tories, Liberal-Democrats and Labour.'

And no doubt if the tories won the election, she be back at the tories gravy train… Or maybe she's a spy for which ever patry will pay the most?
