jacqui smith

[To-Ryscum]

caught out using "Young offenders" to "tidy" her home

when they were meant to be doing work in the Community
put her on "Community work" for abuse of privilege ,I say!

[Gromit]

In July when this is supposed to have occurred she was a 'normal' citizen having lost her seat at the general election. The crims were supposed to be working for a local charity but had nothing to do. Jacqui Smith had them do some painting, and paid a donation to the charity.

I fail to see any wrong doing?

I have read it on the BBC, so the Mail or Express might have a different spin on it.

I notice she didn't say how much she donated . Which being in the public eye would have been the first thing she would have said, had it been a fair amount . Did she donate the minimum wage or the amount she would have paid a couple of painters ? Or did she get it on the cheap ?

[emmie]

most people employ a decorator to do the work, or do it themselves, don't see this as being right at all, whatever she donated to charity,
this isn't work in the community, that would be clearing up graffiti, rubbish, and generally being useful to that community.

[modeller]

Quite right em especially in a house bought with taxpayers money.
What was it she claimed ? If I remember something like £120k when she claimed for a second home when in fact she was living with her sister.
Just the sort of person who would donate to a charity.

[T&S]

Maybe her husband invited them round to watch some p*rn

[emmie]

no one wonder people have lost trust, if they had any to start with, in politicians.

[emmie]

add in Lord snooty Mandelsohn, how is that b***er going to afford an 8 million quid pad.

[rov1100]

If she wanted work done rather than approaching the guys direct should have contacted the organisation that employs them. They said they did not know anything about it!

[giveup]

I can't stand the woman. She lived the high life on us. I will never forget she even claimed for a bath plug.

[DTCwordfan]

Community Porno movies - starring the Smith's slave labour - we await with interest.

[giveup]

And still she's getting away with it .She should be inside for fraud.

[DTCwordfan]

Yep.....

[giveup]

I'm not normally this hateful, but she makes me see red.

[DTCwordfan]

thats what she saw on her rosette and when her husband was watching "Jacki and the 3 Hunky Bears"

[DrFilth]

they weredoing some work so what is the big deal

we use to see some from strangeways doing the gardens of the wardens houses and some of the private houses near the prison

if they are going to be coming out of prison is it not better to get them back into work rather than a life of crime

[DTCwordfan]

But Jacky Smith wasnt in prison - if she had been, then maybe......

[DrFilth]

the people from the private house near strangways were not in prison so whats your point

[giveup]

I've nothing against the people doing the work,they probably did'nt have much choice. There are plenty of people who could do with their help who could not afford it,but she could.

[DTCwordfan]

My point is be more specific in defining yourself.

You wrote:// we use to see some from strangeways doing the gardens - Strangeways is a prison to most of us.

[DrFilth]

some of the inmates from strangeways use to do the wardens houses that were at the back of the prison

they also did some of the gardens of private houses that were near to the wardens houses

is that clear enough to you
