Taxpayers' money doesn't matter

When the masses headed by Richard North overwhelm the present régime, there will be a group of us ready with our clipboards to save taxpayers shedloads of dosh.

Thus today we can read of a coroner slamming the 'waste' of over £1m of taxpayers' money investigating the death of baby who starved in his pram. We know how he died and we know who caused his death - his mother, an illegal immigrant, who died two days after the baby, in March 2010.

There's also an inquest going on into the death of the husband of one of Kate Middleton's bodyguards. He died - abroad - in a skiing accident in March 2009. Really, can we not do better things with taxpayers' money than spend it on this?

Andrew Gilligan shows what perpetually-Labour Haringey council is spending money on and what they want to cut - even though it and militant Manchester City Council are among the worst at collecting council tax.

While we're at it, we'll haul in the people responsible for paying this man more than minimal benefits. Jobseeker? I doubt it. Incapacitated? Too ill to work but not too ill to assault somebody. No wonder his partner's depressed (it's an easy way to get more money). And his continued shirking gets him a barrister. How nice. That would be you and me paying again.

And our EU masters are even more rotten. The European Parliament is to give the German MEP Elmar Brok immunity from prosecution for tax evasion. They're much too important to be treated like us, you see.

Indeed they are.
