I’m beginning to really warm to David Lammy.
Perhaps I was too quick to write him off as a man who simply abused his position and the trust afforded to him by the poor schmucks good people that voted him in. There’s much more to him.
You’ll recall the business about his expenses. You know, how he claimed £25,263 for that handy second home between April 2003 and March 2004. Apparently the commute from Tottenham to Westminster is an absolute killer.
Well, old Dave is back.
On the face of it, Lammy’s leaflet delivered door to door in his Tottenham constituency is a good thing. A noble thing. ‘Local Accident & Emergency Under Threat’ blasts a bold red headline. He’s actually campaigning against a decision of the very government he is a Minister in.
Now you may say that shows character. A bit of daring do. But if you’re that at odds with your own party, isn’t this an indicator you need to either cross the floor or …quit?
‘I’m deeply concerned’ , says Dave. Dave, you’re not the only one mush.
Not only he is campaigning against his own government in order to save his own neck come May, he’s sent the bill to … his constituents. At the bottom of the brochure lies the small print: “This publication is funded from the Communications Allowance”.
The rules say: The Communications Allowance provides funds to allow you, as a Member of Parliament, to communicate proactively with your constituents and inform them about your Parliamentary duties. You may claim up to £10,000 per year from this allowance.
So that’s all just dandy then.
Labour may be out of office, but they’re still busy picking the last pennies from public purse. Bless ’em.
As you either think Lammy is a Tory or Labour are still in power I’d give up on the political comment if I were you Arry.
I tink HH corrected himself that Lammy was a shadow minister. I’d bet yer the type who’s accuse him of being racist if he had described him as a ‘shadow’ anything.
I see Harry Hotspur is still bitter about the move to Stratford that didn’t happen.
Did Levy actually ask for any public money before he switched his sights to Stratford? As I recall it, and as it appeared on the official site, Levy actually thanked Haringey council for their help in gaining planning permission.
Lammy’s a smarmy cunt, but to keep making him out as the main villain in all this is childish.
At least he’s made it clear he wants the NDP to be built, which is more than can be said for Daniel “dead in the water” Levy.
Bitter’s about right, I’ve got more issues than Berlusicecreamconei. And I can be childish at the drop of a hat.
But that ‘dead in the water’ comment? Staggering. Substantiate at your on your own pace, mother.
Grow up, do you know nothing about negotiating? of course you thank people especially when you don’t mean it so you have covered all bases. Use a brain instead of believing all you read for goodness sake.
Kindly detail all Mr Lammy has done for Spurs in all his time as an MP so that we may judge him fairly.
Oh a blank page!
We need to move the whole club to Milton Keynes asap. Then maybe we can stop going on about grounds and talk bout footy for a change instead of accountancy.
Have a look at the expense scrounging B’sterds near you!

Great resource, Herr Bruxie :daumen:
The website name is a bit of misnomer.
Lammy = Waste of public money x Useless self oppinionated waste of space
No sir! I will not accept that – “opinionated” does not contain a double p!
