Clean EUkip up NOW & make UKIP electable!
The corruption of some of EUkip’s leadership, their anti UKIP claque & the NEC is what gives the remaining 10% a bad name!
LOOKS LIKE PEARSON IS DAMNED GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY & NOT ONLY DOES THE GOVERNMENT GET VALUE FOR MONEY BUT SO HAVE EUkip IF HE CAN HOUSE TRAIN FARAGE!
Hi,
The last story I posted was The Grauniad struggling to find a story and it took two Journalists to scrape the dust off of a years old NON story.
At least The Telegraph only wasted one laddy on dredging up this NON story, which in the end shows Malcolm Pearson to be incredibly good value for money - a fraction of the cost of the lad who wrote the story and I'll let you decide who delivers value!!
I do admit I am guessing Jon Swaine is but a lad as he fails to do a man's job here!
So run this past me again super sleuth Jon:
so Malcolm Pearson, a man who had worked hard building a business that employs about 250 people in Britain since 1964 decided, having taken risks and worked hard to buy an estate in Scotland and a town house in London, he decided to contribute to the society he had already enriched by ceasing to draw about £200,000 a year salary for about 20 years, and to cease putting in the full time effort to grow the business.
Am I right so far?
So he is down around £4,000,000 in salary alone - is that right?
Now in a period of 8 years you rekon he has cost the tax payers, what was it - about £150K - lets call that £200,000 - so that is about £25,000 a year am I right?
At a guess Jon Swaine is angling for the
super sleuth of the year NON STORY PRIZE.
I'm sure that The Barclay Brothers, his bosses, who bought The entire island of Saark and drift too and from the Channel Islands in Helicopters will be pleased with little Jon!!
By the way how much were you paid Jon in the last 8 years 'cos if you think £25,000 a year was too much for Pearson what were you on £7.50p a year?
Now lets look at the hard fact - Pearson neither gets nor charges for a secretary, does not have an allowance for offices or staff yet he has worked virtually full time in The House of Lords - he also buys all his own Ermine and a ready supply of blazers.
Jon must be so proud of being able to be rude to a man of value just for the sake of it - well done Jon and as for an editor who considers this to be news - it speaks volumes of what The Telegraph has sunk to in the last few years!
Jon - if you think I am being a little harsh on your provincial rag style of inventing a story do drop me a line and I promise to publish your apology to Lord Pearson for your sniveling ad hominem attack on the man and NOT the facts. When are you leaving Journalism Jon to get a job where you are worth the £7.50p a year?
UKIP leader Lord Pearson claimed £100,000 allowances for £3.7m London home
The new leader of the UK Independence Party, Lord Pearson, claimed more than £100,000 in publicly-funded expenses on the basis that his £3.7 million house in London was his second home while also owning in a 12,000-acre estate with servants in Scotland.

Lord Pearson of Rannoch, a businessman and peer who warned that the MPs' expenses scandal exposed a “growing gulf between the political class and the British people” was last week elected leader of Ukip.
He has sat in the Lords since 1990. Since 2001, the earliest year for which expenses records are available, he has told the Parliamentary authorities that his estate beside Loch Rannoch, Perthshire, is his “main home”.
This enabled him to claim about £100,000 in taxpayer-funded overnight subsistence allowances between April 2001 and June 2007 for staying at his town house in Victoria, one mile away from Parliament in central London, where he had no mortgage to pay.
Peers can claim £174 a night – with no receipts required – to cover the cost of staying at a second home or hotel room in the capital “for the purpose of attending sittings of the House”.
After selling the flat for £3.7 million In June 2007, Lord Pearson moved to another London flat two miles away in Kennington. He paid £1.2 million for the flat, again without a mortgage. He then claimed another £15,000 in allowances on the basis of his overnight stays there.
Lord Pearson has repeatedly declared in official company documents that his London home was his “usual residential address”.
His London house was also given as the address to which applicants wishing to work as a housekeeper or gardener at the Scottish estate should send their CVs, in an advert placed by Lady Pearson in The Scottish Farmer in January this year.
Lords rules state: “Members whose main residence is within Greater London cannot claim night subsistence.”
As well as claiming £115,683 for overnight subsistence, since 2001 Lord Pearson has claimed £56,685 in “day subsistence” allowances. Peers can claim £86.50 a day for meals, drinks and taxis while working in Westminster, with no need for receipts.
The peer – who was paid £40,000 a year for his remaining City work until being elected Ukip leader – also claimed £48,471 in travel expenses – including £10,064 for the cost of flying between Scotland and London in the last two recorded years alone.
Lord Pearson told the Daily Telegraph yesterday that rather than gaining from the allowances system, he had been “impoverished” by his political career. “Working in the Lords has cost me millions,” he said.
“I had to take a substantial cut in my city earnings … from memory I have given up about £200,000 per annum since 1990.”
He said: “My (main) home is in Scotland. I spend almost exactly half the year there.” He said he had cited the London home as his “usual” address in company documents “for convenience” in dealing with business correspondence.
Lord Pearson, 67, made his fortune from Pearson Webb Springbett, the insurance brokers he co-founded in 1964. He was chairman when it was sold to the THB Group in January last year for a multi-million pound sum.
Speaking in the Lords in July about what he called the “parliamentary expenses saga,” Lord Pearson said that he had long been “trying to warn of the growing gulf between us, the political class, and the British people.”
He said that the expenses scandal had “done nothing to endear the people to their political class.”
In a newspaper interview on Saturday he said Parliament had become “irrelevant”. “We should think about abolishing the House of Lords,” he added. “We in Ukip are anti the political class.”

TO LEAVE THE EU
What is the exit and survival plan for these United Kingdoms to maximise on the many benefits of leaving The EU. It is the DUTY of our Politicians and Snivil Cervants to ensure the continuity, liberty and right to self determination of our peoples they have a DUTY to protect against crime and secure both our food and our border.
NONE of these DUTIES has a single British politician upheld for 40 years. They have drawn their incomes fraudulently and dishonesty.
Politicians are failing to tell the truth, but so are almost all wanabe Politicians, the MSM and Snivil Cervants.
The fact is that even if EVERY British MEP wanted change in The EU it would achieve NOTHING.
Every single British Politician, of EVERY Party, elected since before we joined the EUropean Common Market, has promised to change The EU's CAP - In 40 Years they have achieved absolutely NOTHING!
To try to put a value on OUR Freedom is as futile as floccipaucinihilipilification and as odious as the metissage of our societies, as we rummage in the ashes of our ancestors dreams, sacrifices and achievements, the flotsam of our hopes and the jetsam of our lives, consider the Country and Anglosphere which we thus leave our children and the future, with shame!

I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.
