Will Mr Cameron face criminal charges?

[Keith Rich]

In a discussion programme on the expenses scandal this morning it was revealed that David Cameron claimed hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayer’s money to pay for the mortgage on one of his mansions. This would be outrageous in any situation but Mr Cameron is a multi-millionaire so surely this makes it far worse.

 

Not only should he resign he should face criminal charges.

Not quite in the same league as starting wars though is it, no-one has been held accountable for that, or is ever likely to be.

No its not, but Mr Cameron supported the war as well.

 

It was only because of Tory support that Tony Blair got it through the House of Commons. Many Labour back benchers voted against. Now that it has all gone wrong the Tories are trying to distance themselves from it.

Why only David Cameron? There's plenty of other MP's well ahead of David Cameron in the Expenses cheat stakes.

 

If you want to do something positive about this, how about signing the below petition for a recall law so that if enough local voters feel their MP has let them down, they would be able to trigger a fresh vote to test whether the MP still has local support.

Because they were fed a pack of lies by the Labour PM.

I think this will answer your question, but perhaps its not what you want to hear. The investigation concluded that 6 politicians should face prosecution. 5 of them Labour MPs or peers.

In a discussion programme on the expenses scandal this morning it was revealed that David Cameron claimed hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayer’s money to pay for the mortgage on one of his mansions. This would be outrageous in any situation but for the fact that Mr Cameron's EXPENSES ARE ALMOST TOTALLY LEGITIMATE.

Not only should he resign he should face criminal charges.

 

What an interesting spin on reality. Some would say that you have a political agenda here. Other that you are posting total bo**ocks.

Witney MP David Cameron has some of the most straighforward expenses claims of any member of the Shadow Cabinet, it emerged today.

 

For most of the past five years, the Conservative Party leader has claimed only for mortgage interest and utility bills on his Oxfordshire constituency cottage.

 

According to the Daily Telegraph investigation, his Parliamentary expense records are only 20 pages long, compared with claims of more than 90 pages for some of his colleagues.

Conservative leader David Cameron, tipped to be the next prime minister, said on Thursday he would repay almost 1,000 pounds in expenses he had mistakenly claimed.

 

Cameron, who has sought to take the initiative in a long-running expenses scandal affecting all parties, had already said he would pay back a 680-pound maintenance bill. But he promised to repay a further 267.29 pounds mainly relating to mortgage payments in 2006.

£1000 pounds you say? I'd rather vote for Hitler than for somebody who wrongly claimed £1000.

Interestingly.

 

Sir Thomas initially ordered lawmakers to pay back a total of £1.3 million, but the amount was reduced to £1.12 million following successful appeals by 44 lawmakers. Mr. Brown was ordered to repay £13,000, mostly in excessive claims for a maid.
