ANOTHER SNOUT REMOVED FROM THE TROUGH??

 Another one bites the dust! Just a week or so after being re-elected to parliament, Eric Illsley, the Lab MP for Barnsley Central has been charged with false accounting. Yet another of the tub o' lard school of MPs who've never had a proper job, a union lackey, sponging all his life.

Illsley faces three charges under the Theft Act on suspicion of dishonestly claiming £20,000 in council tax and other domestic charges over three years.

He will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 17

He's the fifth politician to be charged over the expenses scandal. However, he is the only serving MP to have to face charges, after three others quit at the last election.

Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said the charges allege that “Mr Illsley dishonestly claimed expenses in relation to council tax, service and maintenance charges, repairs and insurance charges, and utilities and communications charges for his second home in Renfrew Road, London”.
 Illsley is alleged to have done this between May 2005 and April 2006, between May 2006 and April 2007, and between May 2007 and April 2008.
Mr Starmer added: “In total the charges allege a sum in excess of £20,000 was dishonestly claimed over this three year period.”
The figure is far higher than previously thought when Illsley's claims were first investigated.
Mr Starmer added: “Mr Illsley now stands charged with criminal offences and has the right to a fair trial. A party spokesman said,  'The thieving bastard  Illsley has now been suspended from the Labour Party.'
He and a few more should be suspended by the neck from Westminster bridge, "pour encourager les autres."
Keep up the good work, investigators.
