Lincolnshire Voice

Lincolnshires MP's have had to pay back almost £30,000 in false expense claims. Sleaford and North Hykeham MP Douglas Hogg (CONservatives) led the way as he claimed for his moat being cleaned, as well as claiming for house cleaning and gardening services. He has had to pay back £20,000, despite appealing against the decision.

Labours Gillian Merron who is supposed to represent the constituents of Lincoln City has repaid £6,305 for mortgage interest payments on her second home. Anybody who knows about the voting pattern of Ms Merron just need say "Post Offices," as this is what she tells the public she is for and then when she has the opportunity to vote to save them, she does not help one bit. Apparantly the overspend was an admin error!

Gainsborough CONservative MP Edward Leigh had to repay £3,613 after an appeal for mortgage interest payments, cleaning and gardening services.

Dont also forget that Quentin "turncoat" Davies who cant decide what party he belongs to, claimed for his Bell tower! (both Labour & CONservative parties are controlled by the EU anyway, Ed)

You can read more about the local MP's here if you wish but we believe the picture above sums it all up.

Had it not been for the research that the BNP's sleazebuster Michael Barnbrook did over Derek Conway (CONservatives again!) and the resulting media attention, then these MP's would have simply carried on feeding at the trough. It's ok them saying we paid it back, but we all know they were just caught out!

Punish the Pigs (or should that be Hoggs?)

North Kesteven District Council look set to close Sleafords Tourist Information Centre in Money's yard in a cost cutting exercise. The "executive board" say that by closing this centre and replacing it with local access points and an improved website, it will save £40,000 per year.

As with Lincoln City and now Sleaford it looks like there soon wont be any Tourist Information Centres left in Lincolnshire.

Tourist Information Centres are invaluable to people visiting the area for the first time and if they want to find out about cinema, shows, pubs and local attractions it is one of the first ports of call. By taking this away, new visitors unfamiliar with the area then have to seek out a local access point with information, which will not be as effective as a Tourist Information Centre, so the local attractions will lose trade. If they lose trade, the local council loses tax revenue etc.

According to the Sleaford Standard, the tourism industry supports over 1,400 jobs locally, while attractions draw over 1.92 million visitors a year generating over £74.5 million in revenue.

The above figures make the saving of £40,000 and the inconvenience of losing this valuable service seem insignificant.

Latest figures reveal that the number of people from Sleaford out of work has almost doubled within a year, with a 46% increase, according to the Office for National Statistics. During December 2008 there were 559 people unemployed within Sleaford, which compares to 816 people during December 2009. Louth had 640 people unemployed in December 2009 and Horncastle had 432.

Overall, in North Kesteven District Councils area, 1,524 people were out of work in December 2009, compared to 1,088 in Dec 08 showing a 40% increase in a year.

It was reported yesterday that HMP Morton Hall, near Swinderby in the District of North Kesteven, Lincolnshire may be turned into an immigration detention centre. The present use is a prison holding up to 400 inmates, but the Prison Service have confirmed they are looking at a "number of options" which are under consideration.

You can read more about the article here.

Reading the comments, which are now over 100, someone has suggested that they use this as an overnight stop and then reinstate the former RAF Swinderby site nearby to fly them back from whence they came, the following day!

Perhaps if they were refused entry in the first place this discussion (along with considerable amounts of taxpayers money) would not be required, Ed

As always, blame the politicians and elite who have used/are using immigrants to divide and conquer this nation.

We shall follow this with interest to see what transpires.

Goodbye to my England, so long my old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that’s fine
But don’t say you’re English, that’s way out of line.

The French and the Germans may call themselves such
So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane
But don’t say you’re English ever again.

At Broadcasting House the word is taboo
In Brussels it’s scrapped, in Parliament too
Even schools are affected, staff do as they’re told
They must not teach children about England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
The pupils don’t learn about them anymore
How about Agincourt, Hastings , Arnhem or Mons ?
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.

We are not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away, over the sea
We’re the English from England , let’s all be proud
Stand up and be counted – Shout it out loud!

Let’s tell our Government and Brussels too
We’re proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack
Let the world know – WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK!!!!

As from 1st December 2009 Britain no longer exists as a Sovereign Nation,
You be a good EU citizen now!

HOPE not Hate (oh the irony Ed) have sent out this strategy briefing regarding the BNP:

The BNP is likely to contest over 200 parliamentary seats in the General Election and up to 1,000 council seats. The main threat is in Barking & Dagenham, where they could take overall control of the council, and Stoke-on-Trent, where they could become the largest single party – and we fear that Nick Griffin could win the parliamentary seat in Barking.

The HOPE not hate campaign has identified 102 council wards in 31 local authority areas that are at risk from the BNP. Just over half of these risk wards are in just 10 local authority areas. The concentration is even starker when one counts the most at risk wards. All but three of the 25 most at risk wards fall in 10 local authority areas, as do 38 of the 50 most at risk wards.

The high risk local authorities, where the BNP pose a threat in multiple wards, are Barking & Dagenham, Stoke-on-Trent, Thurrock , Nuneaton, Sandwell, Amber Valley, Burnley, Barnsley, Rotherham and Leeds. But there are other areas, such as Wigan, Tameside and Bexley, where the BNP will be pushing strongly for the first time.

However, amidst the BNP threat we have an opportunity to roll them back. Over half of BNP councillors are up for re-election this May. That means that if we can run an effective campaign we can actually remove a large swathe of BNP representation in local government. It is going to be a hard fight but it is one that we can win.

Barking & Dagenham will be our national priority. We simply cannot allow the election of a BNP MP or for them to take control of the council. While we are massively increasing capacity in the local area we will be giving our supporters ways they can help.

To defeat the BNP we have devised our largest and most sophisticated campaign plan to date. It includes:

• Building local networks of activists. Since the European elections we have been investing in Local Organisers who are becoming the backbone of much of our campaign. We recognise the vital important of building local capacity in our key areas, without which we cannot achieve our goals, so over the next few weeks we will be launching several local initiatives to achieve this.

• Telephone canvassing. In February we will telephone canvass as many of our top 50 key wards as possible, with our aim to make at least 50,000 calls. This will be done online, so enabling our supporters across the country to help in these elections, with HOPE not hate telephone parties bringing people together to phone collectively. The Voter ID operation will seek to identify voters who dislike the BNP. We will then build up a relationship with these voters through a series of mailings and leaflets during the spring, which will hopefully increase the likelihood of them voting in May.

• Mobilising women voters. Research has repeatedly emphasised that women are less likely to vote BNP than men. We intend to produce a leaflet aimed specifically at women voters.

• Localised material. We will be producing localised material for all of our key areas, with up to 20 different editions of a HOPE not Hate/Daily Mirror tabloid with articles customised for that local authority area.

• Daily Mirror. The HOPE not hate campaign will again be working closely with the Daily Mirror and for the third year running we will organise a HOPE bus tour. There will also be an 8-page supplement inside the Daily Mirror.

How many of the other parties have to put up with this behaviour?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Yet more evidence of the Police State we now live in can be found on the link here, showing how councils have the power to enter your property without a warrant.

As we've stated previously, councils have had permission to "watch" people without the persons knowledge for some time now. It's ok though, they are looking out for us all as we have to be safe.

Isn't this what the Gestapo used to do?

There will be no Nativity Scene in Westminster this year!

The High Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the British Capital this Christmas.

This isn't for any religious reason.

They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in Parliament.

The search for a Virgin continues.

There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.
