Is Baroness Warsi a liability?

[Gromit]

The Conservative Party Chairman and expenses fiddler has been caught out again.

She has failed to disclose to parliament income from a property she owns. It was only dicovered when she fell out with a party donor. The disgruntled gentleman dropped her in it, and it was only then that she declared the income.

// The failure to make a declaration emerged from a dispute between Baroness Warsi and a Conservative donor and fund-raiser, Dr Wafik Moustafa.

He was upset when the Conservative Arab Network, which he founded, was told earlier this year to sever its links with the party and was subsequently threatened with legal action by Baroness Warsi.

That prompted him to disclose that he had given her and her special adviser, Naweed Khan, accommodation in London.
In the course of inquiries made because of his public statement, the failure to make a disclosure about her rental income was discovered. //

She will have to go.

[Everhelpful]

No doubt "The Novice" AB'er will jump to her defence.!!

[tonyav]

Give her the boot.

[bazwillrun]

Yes she is a liability and yes she should go, but shes asian, muslim, theyre scared to get rid of her, she'll claim its a racist witchhunt.

[tonyav]

Totally agree with what baz said.

[Dodger666]

All MPs and members of the House of Lords should be fired as soon as they've been found guilty of fiddling the tax payer. Honourable Members? I don't think so!!

[bazwillrun]

@dodger

if only!, they had someshowcase trials put a few in chokey and let the rest off.

Those that have been eating porridge on Her Majestys tab will come out/are out and its business as usual.

[bazwillrun]

Sunday Times says Warsi stayed rent free in Acton house of Dr Moustafa but claimed subsistence expenses. She says she paid, he says he got no money

[I.Don No]

that woman is totally up her own *ars*, so arrogant and condescending, and the bloke that dobbed her in isn't much better either by only revealing her wrong-doing because they fell out!

[Everhelpful]

Where's "The Novice"? Oh I forgot it is not a Labour bashing thread.!!

[anneasquith]

she is reported as saying " it was an oversight " easily done im sure, :)

[boxtops]

why pick on her, more than any others of the freeloaders?

[anneasquith]

box. maybe because she is the most recent one to break the rules.

[ladybirder]

You know the answer to that boxy.

[Sqad]

boxy......cus she was caught.
11th commandment........."thou shall not be caught"

I don't like the arrogant cow, but hands up all you ABers who haven't done a bit of fiddling in your time.

[bazwillrun]

"You know the answer to that boxy"

perhaps if you do then you can let the rest of us in on it

[sandyRoe]

She appears to be the victim of some sort of sub-letting scam. While she paid the rent, and claimed it back on expenses, it never found its way to the landlords purse.

[ladybirder]

why pick on her, more than any others of the freeloaders?

Because she is a Conservative. I doubt Gromit would have posted the question if she hadn't been. But he is very reliable.
