(not satire – it’s Peter Bone!)
Right-wing Tory MP Peter Bone once said this of benefits claimants:
“It cannot be right that people who are funded entirely by the taxpayer are making life unbearable for decent hardworking families.”
Quite right Peter.
So I expect you’ll be resigning now it’s turned out you’re being investigated for benefit fraud:
Peter Bone MP denies benefit fraud allegations
.
Please feel free to comment.

Pride's Purge 
This isn’t just a resignation matter, it’s a criminal offence. If proven then Bone should face a substantial prison term.
I feel that public figures who display rank hypocrisy between their public statements and private actions should receive harsher punishments than others, but I doubt that many judges would agree – for the obvious reason!

This revelation follows hot on the heels of news about Tory MP property owners pocketing huge wads of cash in the form of housing benefit; then going on to criticise welfare reliance within society. You could not make up this sort of hypocrisy on the part of Tory MPs. They are all still just the same, are they not? What with their moats and duck houses being cleaned at public expense it must be obvious they not only live in a different world but in a wholly different universe !!!!

I am no Blair defender (I left the Labour Party after the invasion of Iraq) but I at least think he never had anything much to say on this particular topic and whilst he is now the owner of some very highly priced property, I do not think he lets it out to social tenants – unless you definitely know otherwise? His major wrong was to collude with Bush to invade Iraq and there may also have been some complicity in the David Kelly death cover-up but I do not believe he was ever involved in enriching himself through exploitation of the welfare benefits system – just to be accurate.

My point was a reply to beastrabban that politicians in the Tory party are not unique in enriching themselves whilst presenting a hypocritical public stance, and I suspect that you agree that point. I grant you that Blair has not (to my knowledge) done so through exploitation of the benefits system. There probably isn’t enough money in that for him, and his hypocrisy and crimes go far deeper than just making a few thousand pounds.

A part of the article that stood out for me was:
“Mr Bone says his wife Jennie has been in dispute with Northamptonshire County Council since January 2009 about what he describes as “their failure to properly fund her elderly mother’s care needs”.
He accused the council of failing to comply with regulations on charging for residential care and failing to apply their own appeals system. Mr Bone said that in January last year the council issued a writ against his wife claiming that she owed money and this is now subject to a civil case.”
A long, tedious, hopeless battle with ‘computer-says-no’ bureaucrats…
