The reluctant prosecution of thieving political low life Denis MacShane should give the long suffering and much abused taxpaying public little reason for celebration. For some unknown reason money extorted from the taxpayer, under threat of imprisonment, is considered to be the personal property of benefit fraudsters and any political operative or bureaucrat, to spend as they see fit.
There doesn't appear to be any respect whatsoever for the money itself or for the people that have to get out of bed each day to earn it.
If the economists and the politicians are to be believed the economy is broke, requiring spending cuts described as 'draconian', 'savage' and the 'worse for a generation' by the 'progressive' left together with their agenda driven whores who infest the airwaves and the printed media.
They are lying of course just like they always do.
The revelation that civil servants and other government bureaucrats are still using over $ 1.6 billion of taxpayers money to pay for luxury hotels everywhere from Dubai to Montego Bay, in addition to gourmet meals, fine wines, chauffeur driven limousines and shopping vouchers for God knows who, is a national scandal.
This is proof, if any were needed, that politicians are not serious about cutting government spending or attending to waste, fraud and abuse with respect to the public finances.
To many people this is a much more than a scandal, it is outright theft which should be punishable by law.
The media created Prime Minister, 'Call Me Dave' Cameron, made a high profile promise to crackdown on this kind of profligacy by bureaucrats during the 2010 election campaign, a promise he conveniently forgot about immediately the election was over.
The tax avoiding leader of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, Patricia Hodge, has the ideal solution to this abuse of public money. She has "recommended a ban on buying alcohol and cutting back on 5 star hotel bookings".
This laughable comment only demonstrates Hodge's complete detachment from the real world the rest of us inhabit. It must be a relief for the workers to know that this multi-millionaire champagne socialist is looking out for them and their hard earned money!
If they are really taking this theft seriously they would take back the taxpayer funded credit cards given out to these bureaucrats and make them pay with their own money which can be subsequently claimed back on receipted expense claims. (As a professional expatriate for more years than I care to remember, I know this has the effect of concentrating the mind to make sure any spend is absolutely essential.)
In mitigation, the profligate bureaucrats can cite their bosses as the example they are following. The Parliamentary expense scandal shocked the nation. The outright stealing of public money by the parliamentarians was more widespread than anyone could have imagined. The thieving buggers were all at it and only six of the crooks went to jail for their crimes.
In an act of deceit and sheer brazen hypocrisy these charlatans have created an anonymous link for the public to report benefit fraud. To anyone with an ounce sense, this is obviously a window dressing exercise put in place to give the public the false impression that they are taking the stealing of public money seriously.
To rub the taxpayers noses further into the ground, if anyone is caught defrauding the workers by stealing their money via benefit fraud, the chances of going to jail is diminishing. Despite a so called government crackdown, the chances of being jailed for benefit fraud is now only 1 in 20.
The upshot of all this proves that the government is not serious about cutting spending or prosecuting the criminal political establishment for stealing public money and abusing the long suffering taxpayers.
To anyone who has worked with an expense and allowance system the solution is simple:
Remove procurement credit cards to all but the most senior people.
Implement a system of zero tolerance to abuse of taxpayers money, monitored by an independent agency. These crooks cannot be trusted to police themselves.
If high value expenses are likely to be incurred this is done via a letter of credit for the approximate amount monitored by a person of higher authority who will be held responsible for any abuse.
Use the full force of the law against any abusers.
Categorise the abusing of taxpayers and their money as a serious crime akin to committing Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) or *Attempted Murder.
Until drastic action is taken there will be no end to it.
It must be said that if the much abused British taxpayer is being ripped off, spare a thought for our American cousins across the water. They are being taken for an eye watering $100 billion by their political shysters and like their British counterparts, short of an Arab Spring type uprising, there's nothing that they can do about it.

Gordon Brown's Gold Heist - Fourteen Years And Still No Arrest.
The term 'would you buy a used car' from ex British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, is employed because his trustworthiness and competence are questionable. After his sale of century gold auction in 1999 the answer must be a resounding yes.
It is universally agreed that Brown's gold sale at the bottom of the market plus the announcement of his intentions in advance was the biggest blunder in British economic history, so on that basis one would probably get a cracking deal on a used car.
A big news item this morning was the decade long buy up of 570 tonnes of gold bullion by President Putin's Russia that coincides with the fourteenth anniversary of Gordon Brown's sale of nearly 400 tonnes of Great Britain's gold reserves and almost thirty years since the infamous Brinks Matt gold bullion heist at London's Heathrow Airport in 1984.
If this news is coupled with the German governments decision to repatriate its gold reserves from France and Fort Knox, then financial laymen can deduce that something is imminent with the worlds markets.
The British should have more cause for concern than other nations because of Brown's incompetence and his dedication to a socialist ideology. This will ensure that any further shocks to the global economy will have a bigger effect in Great Britain than in other advanced economies.
As Chancellor of the Exchequer and Prime Minister, Brown doubled the national debt during his tenure and his reckless spending of taxpayers money racked up the biggest deficit in peacetime history
Together with his fellow ideologues, Ed Balls and Red Ed Miliband, he looted the private sector pension funds to the point where the schemes are closed down to new employees and they will close altogether when the last member kicks the bucket.
Gordon Brown and his two boot boys, Balls and Miliband, are labelled deficit deniers for their absolute refusal to acknowledge the consequences of their incompetence.
Even his own minister, the well respected Frank Field, compared these three crooks with the appeasers of the 1930's who claimed there was no threat from Hitler.
In a final act of utter asinine banality, the outgoing socialist Chief Secretary to the Treasury, the follicley challenged ignoramus Liam Byrne, left a note for the incoming Secretary making fun of the fact that there was "no money left, good luck".
This note is also an admittance that they knew they had bankrupted the country and that it was a deliberate scorched earth policy to make it impossible for any incoming government to clean it up in a single term. To these socialist fanatics, politics comes before people every time.
For those readers who are not familiar with the current political situation in Great Britain, Red Ed Miliband is leader of the Labour Party and his fellow incompetent and political thug Ed Balls is his Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Gordon Brown was re-elected by the useful idiots of Kilcaldy and Cowdenbeath who's interests he ignores by not attending Parliament and by spending his time gallivanting around the world making millions from the contacts he made while in office.
In addition to these millions, he claims the maximum amount of taxpayer funded allowances and expenses for his non attendance in Parliament.
Due to the incompetence of the current office holders, David 'Call Me Dave' Cameron and George Osbourne, if an election were to be held in the near future, Labour would win and the two Ed's would be in a position to finish the job of destruction started by Phony Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in 1997.
As Great Britain enters its triple dip recession with the Treasury empty, the pension funds looted and half of the gold reserves given away by Brown, the current government have found the solution to the looming crisis of long term care for the elderly.
They plan to break their election promise on inheritance tax and charge motorists $240 per year to drive on the roads previously owned by the taxpayer but flogged off to their cronies in the private sector. Heaven forbid that they would ever consider cutting spending.
The Brown gold heist cost the British taxpayers in the region of $16 billion and he got away Scot free, while 'Little Britain' actor Peter Dixon was sent to jail for cheating the taxpayer out of $12,160 in false benefit claims.
While sentencing, Judge Gibson told Dixon "You were calculating and you showed serious disregard to the public who funded your dishonest claims".
I am looking forward to a front row seat on the day when Gordon Brown meets Judge Gibson in his courtroom.
In conclusion, an explanation for Russia's behavior in the gold markets was given by Evgeny Federov, a lawmaker for President Putin's United Russia Party. Take note all you Europhiles and Federalists.
"the more gold a country has, the more sovereignty it will have if there's a cataclysm with the dollar, the euro, the pound or any other reserve currency".
