As for Diane Abbott, she has dropped a long, long way in my estimation, putting out a story like this. Clearly she hasn't an ounce of shame in her entire body.

Just like so many of her colleagues.

So, Arthur, it would appear that in April 2010 (the last month New Labour were in power), they spent more in one month than in the last seven months reported upon in 2012 - are you suitably horrified by this, or doesn't it matter if it isn't the Tories?

More Labour profligacy eh? What a surprise (not).

I reckon Arthur's forum engine needs a good service - it just keeps backfiring. :D

Mind you if it wasn't for his persistence we wouldn't get so many opportunities to highlight Labour's hypocrisy and ineptitude. Cheers Arthur, keep up the good work. :tu:

Hang on, this bit bears repeating:

Quote:

Ministerial group spending of taxpayersâ€™ money on Government Procurement Cards under the last Administration included the likes of â€˜refreshmentsâ€™ at the Cinnamon Club, the Wolseley, Brasserie 44, Boisdales, Sky City Casino, Inn the Park, Mango Tree, Shepherds, Incognico, Buffalo Bar, Tantric Jazz, Mr Chu's China Palace and Fat Tuesdays.

My Department under this Administration has stopped such spendthrift practices.

The next time Arthur claims the Tories are over spending i will remind him about this thread and ask him to confirm he double checked his facts BEFORE posting, lets face it i am sure he will not want to repeat his mistake. :)

In that case, it'll be several hundred articles before he gets it right. ;)
