Lord Taylor's strangely prophetic web site......
Perhaps the website designer is working on some horizontal bars? Or did he mean ‘charges will occur from time to time’?
The Crown Prosecution Service said Lord Taylor, whose full name is John David Beckett Taylor, has been summonsed to face six charges of false accounting.
He is accused of dishonestly claiming more than £11,000 in overnight subsistence and mileage claims.
He is the sixth person to be charged as a result of a Metropolitan Police investigation, and will appear at the City of Westminster magistrates’ court on Friday August 13.

This has been duly plotted in the Sleaze-o-Scope:

This is a valuable public service, and I have added it to my research department.
Just one small point though: You say on the map “Plot of the locations of political shenanigans that are occuring in this shiny, new, post-democratic, coalition government (2010 – ?).”
But it includes Prescott being Lorded — nothing to do with the coalition, but part of the lingering aroma of the Brown regime. Is there another sleaze-o-scope for NuLabour’s rule?
But well worth referring to once a week anyway.
“underdevelopment”!
Not one iota of sympathy for the twat!
…and still, hundreds of House of Conmen troughers are walking around freely without a criminal record to their name.
This is all getting a bit beyond me. Not only were they spending money that Britain didn’t have, they were grossly lining their own pockets to the tune of amounts that I will never see or hope to rely on.
Forty odd years of working and paying for a Pension and I am now reduced to managing on £100 a week. I would despair if I wasn’t made of sterner stuff.
OT, Anna, but I was wondering if you’d had any additions to the peacock clan recently…
I got first sight of my new neighbours this afternoon.

Al,
No we only have the Mother and Son now, perhaps next year he will ignore the incest laws……..
There are a great many more where this little (still to be proved guilty) gentleman has come from.

“Daddy, what does endemic mean?” (Beaming angelic face)
“Well..it’s hard to explain.. .” (Troubled frown behind paper)
“Does it mean like “silly” Daddy?” (Big pout!)
“No, sweetheart..it’s more like, like when a lot of people all agree…” (More frowning, and paper is rustled)
“Like the brownies?” (Twirls hair)
“Sort of, angel, only more…” (Furrowed brow)
“Is it like what I saw Mrs Cribbins doing with Mr Crabtree in his car at school…?” (Wide eyed innocence)
“WHAT! Er no, that was, well when a daddy meets a mummy…oh er!” (Perspiration)
“Tell me proper, Daddy” (Insistent, tears imminent).
“Well, er… read this…” ( Inspired smile, hands over the paper)

“The peer in charge of reforming House of Lords expenses has received £200,000 in allowances over the past eight years by designating her home in Norfolk as her main address…She receives £38,000 per year to help with the cost of accommodation in London…Her expenses claims raise questions, however, about why taxpayers should pay London Accommodation allowance to someone who has owned a home in the city for more than 30 years…”.

“Oh Daddy! Why didn’t you say! It means there is the systemic abuse of the expenses system in terms which border on and in many cases go way beyond the the standard which any legitimate legal system – invoking as it should a jude0 christian standard of morality – would regard as regard as fraudulent, notwithstanding the subjective definition of the necessary component of dishonesty invoked as a defence by those involved, but instead applying an objective standard of dishonesty. But, at the same time, allowing for a few to take the rap as whipping boys!” (Exasperated)
“Yes, darling. Now, go and play” (Relief)

Frequent visitor, but first comment on this excellent site.
Gildas, (23:39), superb – as ever.
Keep up the good work.
And, Anna, thanks for your hosting and ”scribblings” too. You are after my own heart.
This is one of my favourites
