maria miller's fault ?

Is she an immigrant?

Between 2005 and 2009, Mrs Miller claimed £90,718 in expenses for the property - close to the maximum permitted.

In 2007, she increased the mortgage again, to £575,000. Again, taxpayers helped to meet the mortgage demands.

After the 2009 expenses scandal, Mrs Miller flipped the designation of her properties to make the Wimbledon house her ‘main home’.
And in February of this year, she sold it. A buyer paid £1.47million, a profit of £1,236,000.
At the same time, she spent £1.2million buying the luxury retreat in Hampshire.

The property is a one-hour train journey to central London, but it is understood Mrs Miller is also renting a small flat in the capital.

she's wasted in politics
sher should be a property developer

and she didn't even thank us for paying for her homes and making her a millionaire

the above is probably completely legal, with a small bit of rule bending ... but it does make you sick doesn't it

looks like he's doing it wrong

Maria Miller has done right thing, says David Cameron.

Where the right thing is to turn a profit at the taxpayer's expense, obvs.

We are all in this together.

But it's fine, she says she's sorry.

(...that she got caught probably.)

Peaches Geldoff is dead. WTF

She was just on telly a few days ago for sports relief or something, seemed well chipper.

It's true. But I don't think I needed the Torygraff to tell me it.

Alex Proud who has lots of opinions on London but doesn't actually live in London these days.

His last article was widely vilified, which is unsurprising considering he tried to argue that Camden was cool:

Anyone who has been to Camden in the last five years can tell you the answer to that.

Also worth pointing out that he owns a venue in Camden, so has something of a vested interest.

Oscar Peterious is going for an Oscar on the witness box

He's a blubbering wreck for sure! Anyone would think he's the victim.

The Oscar Pistorius trial acts as a useful reminder to be wary of what sort of messages you send to your loved ones, in case one day when you "accidentally" shoot them through a closed door (without first checking they're safe and in bed next to you), they get read out in court:

The live feed alternates between shots of the Steenkamp family, the defence, and the couple's messages, which appear on a blue screen. They exchange one-word messages saying "Boobi" and "Baba" and lots of messages saying how much they miss each other.

He didn't miss her that night.

^you're a bad person.
(I laughed, internally)

Someone needs to have a word with him about over egging the melodrama. Even the most remorseful doesn't sound that remorseful 24/7.
