Petition reaches well over 5,000 now! Author Orion Moon 22-07-2009
Scott says more than that but I am allowing for anyone who signed who was not eligible. And that is without try that hard, our main thrust will be on Saturdays when people are queuing to sign expressing their anger with Jacqui, along with New Labour for selling us out. The expenses row would have blown over and the truth never known if it was not for the whistle blows and of course then Telegraph who did a sterling job bring out the scoundrels. BTW there has been several Labour activists trying to slander us in various ways, this has only backfired on them and brought the issue to the fore more and more, so thanks for that J I would also like to thank all who have backed us and those who have signed or due to do so. I am proud of Redditch people for making a stand against any MP who thinks they can take us for a ride at our expense.
Jacqui was glad to step down as Home Secretary Author Orion Moon 19-07-2009
For once Jacqui has been honest by admitting without proper experience such a job is beyond a normal person. Not that the person in the hot seat of minister these days is not much more than a rubber stamp for big business who pull all the strings, especially the purse strings. Gone are the days when trade unions paid the piper. Then we have the multiple jobs situation when our MP’s work on the side for a kings ransom (while or immediately after leaving parliament) In order to amend OUR LAWS to their private aims. Another name for corruption.
So the step down was nothing to do with expenses and more to do with ability. Too many yes men (women) and nothing gets done for the good of the country. How apt swine flu was named after pigs, like our pigs (MP's) with their noses in the trough J No wonder they need 3 months off to recover and stash the cash.
It now is being put forward MP’s who cheat their expenses will go to prison for 1 year, pigs might fly as well. So far every item claimed for was, and I quote: “Perfectly within the rules”. So who’s to judge the when the RULES have been broken? So we know about flipping homes (and I am not using bad language), and other odd claims. What money has been paid back? And what is the real price of letting the people of Redditch down, zero, nothing has been seriously done to make amends. Redditch people are not fools, they know Jacqui can not be trusted to put us first when she is too busy feathering her own nest, or should I say nests?
New Labour keeps on spinning Author Orion Moon 27-06-2009
Over the last three weeks of our campaign to ditch Jacqui Smith as our MP or better still give her the chance to do the decent thing has been going very well. I have given important information to both local freebies (papers). In order to let the people of Redditch know the progress of the petition and give our/my opinions of Jacqui’s performance as our MP and as Home Secretary. Throughout the collection of signatures it has been made clear Ms Smith will NOT end up with the petition for her to use as a tool to bombard unsupportive citizens with pro New Labour SPIN. At the same time telling people it would be checked by someone who could be trusted and then destroyed. The object of the petition is to show how thousands of right minded free thinking people of Redditch want to see the back of her. Under that condition we have been trusted to carry this out on their behalf; we won’t leave their personal details on trains etc. People have put their trust in us and we won’t let them down, now or in the future.
As far as her brilliant record as our MP is concerned, she was asked to list her achievements in parliament and she was hard pushed to come up with anything. So is it just down to her buddies to sing her praises in the local press now, none can name any actions that have been solely down to her. Indeed she turned up at our local PO for a photo call (one thing she is good at) and within a short time it was shut. In the meeting it was pointed out she must have voted for such closures and she replied she did not vote to shut PO’s, Funny the New Labour M/c would not let MP’s escape such issues, just as this New Labour Gov is about to sell of much of the PO in part first and in full later probably. Well I never what a surprise the accountants have been working over time to close as many PO’s as possible to make it perfect for maximum profits at our expense and inconvenience. Which way will Jacqui vote on that one then? Pretty oblivious isn’t it.
Most of this information has been used against us? or totally ignored. I wonder how or why? Could it be behind the counter spin merchants using every trick in the book to save our lame duck MP who was willing to ditch Redditch for a safe seat elsewhere knowing the size of opposition there is to her due to what we know of her expenses fiasco? And her poor record as the MP here in Redditch.
We all know how funny hand shakes work and this can not be ruled out as it is prevalent in most esculents of the ruling classes, or upwardly mobile individuals? When will the freedom of information Act list all such secret societies in order to alleviate us of possible corruption?
We dare not communicate in any way with Jacqui as she has made it clear this would be construed as hate mail. We know of no such thing. Even when we see her face to face and give almost word for word accounts to the press in order to give just our side of what was said, it gets hacked down to a couple of lines with Ms Smith’s comments implanted to wreck any useful information or argument against her that we have made.
Are they scared of Jacqui just in case she performs a miracle and con’s the people of Redditch with more SPIN into feeling sorry for her. If you can’t stand the heat don’t go in the kitchen. Surely she is not so arrogant as to think her constituents have given her the green light to feather her nest in Redditch at tax payers expense by flipping her home, many have as it became common practice but that does not make it morally right. I can’t say any more about this because it is still under investigation initially by Sir Chris Kelly and then by the MET to see who can be prosecuted? The list is ever growing, quite rightly so.

Heading given: Jacqui quizzed over expenses and her future as our MP
Full details of the surgery Meeting with the right honourable Jacqui Smith MP re: Excessive Expenses.
On the 20th June 2009 a delegation of three independent individuals (who just happen to have stood for RBC as independents at different times) WITH NO AFFILIATION TO EACH OTHER, AND ESPECIALLY NOT TO ANY POLITICAL PARTY OR ORG. Before a couple of weeks ago I had never met my new friends, I state this because we have been accused of all sorts of false allegiances.
The meeting was conducted from both sides in a calm respectful manner, face-to-face with Jacqui and her partner (secretary) in the town hall by appointment at her surgery. As our MP there is still a cloud hanging over her head (and others) regarding the investigation/report into some serious financial matters of many MP's which could end with Scotland Yard being involved. Surely the people of Redditch should a chance to judge our own MP on her record (including her expenses that we know about) NOW. Especially as Jacqui's own housing situation was one of the first to come to light way back at the start of this year. Little did we know then what a massive time bomb was ticking away in the heart of our parliament. In February I sent an official complaint to our Chief Constable regarding possible legal actions over her expenses? He replied saying the MET commonly know as Scotland Yard will look into such matters. The ongoing report into expenses is set to be published in just over a year’s time, safely after the General Election which means many parts of the UK could be voting in a possible future criminal? She rebuffed this, as she would on the grounds she had done nothing wrong and everything was within the RULES of the so called green book. We have heard that allot lately form many other MP's before they rushed to pay back monies for various wrong accounting.
When I asked Jacqui about herself and electoral role? She said she was registered in London (at her sister’s place, now her 1st home). And also in Redditch (which she now calls her 2nd home). Funny I thought we only had one vote each with no choice of residence, first, second, third or forth home? Just how many voting cards are issued to one person? Maybe again it is one RULE for MP's and another for the populace? Well they do make their own advantageous RULES. I also asked if her 1st home conformed to the various Housing Act’s. (As she only rented a room in London) She was unsure about some of that?
We have been asked many times, including by Jacqui what was going to happen to the petition once complete, would we hand it over to her? Not a chance of that but a redacted (blacked out copy) was offered which got a few smiles. Most people expect their private details to be kept private, as with the Data Protection Act (which MP's use all the time to their advantage). Only a very independent qualified person would inspect and confirm its substance. All the time the names and addresses being kept secret (Many thousands all ready). Scott has a massive task ahead checking every name and address against the electoral role and deleting anyone who is not on it, including under 18's. IT HAS NOT BEEN DECIDED YET WHO WILL END UP WITH THE PETITION AUTHENTICATION JOB?
Scott says he will carry on collecting as many signatures as possible until Jacqui throws in the towel as our MP, only then will the petition be counted and soon after destroyed.
Jacqui did say she intends to stand again here in Redditch, but can we believe that? Or could New Labour switch the nominee just before the General Election? if she does best of luck to her. We are only concerned with Redditch and who ever becomes the new MP of this constituency I hope they will put Redditch first. In the future it is said there will be more control over all MP's. Even if Redditch people choose NEW LABOUR again, so be it? One thing is for sure, her hanging in there till the bitter end of this term waiting for the next General Election will see her get an even bigger pay off, same for many other MP's (but as an ex-minister the lump sum and pension are bigger still).
There were other minor issues raised and answered but this covers the main points of our meeting. Thank you for seeing us Jacqui, we look forward to the current inquiries result with any resultant actions being implemented in full?
Please note: We do not approve of, or have any knowledge of nasty communications; Jacqui says she has received some recently. Same applies to nasty messages recently sent to one of my friends who also has children. Such serious matters will be reported to the police so they can find the perpetrators and deal with them.
From the 18 June 2009 the public will be able to view printed documents and receipts relating to MPs’ claims dating back to 2004/05 and up to 2007/08.
More than a million printed documents and receipts have been scanned electronically over the last year in a major publishing operation to make information on MPs’ allowances freely available to the public online.
SKY NEWS / 16-06-2009 Harman says: MPs Cannot Continue To Employ Family Commons leader Harriet Harman has said she does not think MPs can continue to employ family members. Ms Harman was giving evidence to an inquiry by the Committee on Standards in Public Life today. She told Sir Christopher Kelly that although spouses and relatives often worked harder than other people, "I think it is almost impossible to convince the public that actually there is fair employment opportunity.
"I think my own view is that it is just too difficult to sustain public confidence."
Ms Harman also said "barracks-style" accommodation for MPs to use during the week, funded by taxpayers, would not be feasible for members with families who did not want to be separated from them between Monday and Thursday.
"It does have to be recognised that we do not want a parliament that is exclusively made up of people who are prepared to set their family life entirely on one side," she said.
Her Conservative and Liberal Democrat opposite numbers, Alan Duncan and David Heath, are also attending the first public hearing.
The investigation by the Committee on Standards in Public Life was set up in April after details of claims started appearing in The Daily Telegraph.
Chairman Sir Christopher Kelly said the system of MPs' expenses appeared to have been "exploited for personal gain". He has said he intends to deliver "a comprehensive set of recommendations" to clean it up.
However, he insisted the inquiry could not be rushed, and would not report before the autumn - despite Gordon Brown's suggestion it may be earlier.
All the main parties have indicated they will accept the committee's proposals for reform.
Emergency measures to prevent the most notorious expenses practices - such as "flipping" second home designation to maximise claims - have already been introduced.
The embarrassing leak of the expenses details pre-empted the official publication of more than one million claims by MPs, which takes place later this week.
Attention is now likely to focus on how much damaging information would have been "redacted" and hidden from the public if it had not been obtained by other means.
As you know I have been helping with the anti-sleaze petition in Redditch, which is aimed at our MP (parliamentary representative) who also happens to be under investigation right now along with many others. There is a serious amount of public anger against ALL MP’s I can’t see how anyone else from your stable could win back this seat for NEW Labour. Comments such as the lack of any alternative to right wing politics (including NEW Labour in that) come up time and time again, reason being the hi-jacking of the real Labour party back in 1997. NEW Labour has indirectly helped the BNP get established in Europe (a far bigger cash cow).
We must have an ENGLISH only parliament like other UK countries/areas (dare I say no Scots allowed). Equality at last stopping the BNP in its tracks, on the plus side we would only need a tiny UK parliament. Enforced with vigorous immigration control. We are totally against the BNP and what they stand for, rest assured.
I am 100% against the BB State most people are also against the intrusion, and normal people have less to hide J The ONLY reason we have seen terrorism on our streets is because we are being dictated to by our so called friends across the Atlantic. Fighting an illegal war puts blood on our hands and give radicals the green lights to recruit other idiots to do us harm. If you were serious about terrorism a total withdraw from all Middle Eastern countries is the only option. Other sovereign countries have a right to control their own affairs until there is REAL proof of actual possible harm to our planet. The US have made things worse and the real cost is the blood of the innocent brave defenders of OUR Realm here. (Plus the billions wasted and still are wasted).
Stop the rot now by killing NEW Labour dead. More than ever we need REAL Labour back to deal with this massive depression, not words, and we have gone way past listening. ACTION NEEDED NOW: - Total withdraw of OUR troops / Scrapping of ID cards /A new program of housing, not social housing COUNCIL HOUSING paid for by the money stolen from previous council house sales, this is self funding / Proportional representational before the next general election (with above national boundary system) People vote for the person (CV ) and legally binding party manifesto’s
This may seem far away from the current situation, but New Labour are for now in a powerful position where they can save their own necks and the parties political skin by proposing popular reforms now and walk the walk not talk the talk and do nothing, a wasted opportunity as we all know a new Thatcherism Tory decade will do all of us harm and make us here a third world country. Out of the frying pan into the fire, Bring back OLD Labour NOW. By Orion Moon
