Never ending greed.

Yet another Craven councillor, although this one is from Lancashire, seems determined to show just how greedy some people can be when they try.
David Whipp, the Lib-Dem leader and Craven councillor at Lancashire county hall managed to claim over £42,000 in allowances last year. Despite leaving school without even a GCE in media studies or religious education, this arrogant so called public servant, who takes away around 2 1/2 times the income of his long suffering council tax payers, insists that he's worth it.
Around £15,000 of that money comes from the Police Authority, for attending 4 meetings a year, and a further £10,000 comes from the privilege of calling himself 'leader' of the Lib-Dems.
But that's not enough, oh no! So next year that £10k allowance being increased to £17,000, just to keep pace with inflation you understand!
Whipp is probably best known for offering Councillor Azhar Ali to 'Have him outside' for which he was punished by the Standards Board for England, and made to apologise. It's unlikely that he'll apologise for taking away close to £1,000 for each week that he draws breath next year, indeed he's on record as stating that he's 'Good value for money!'
What is a little known fact is that he apparently likes karaoke, and someone sent a video to Youtube of this. He'll never win prizes for his voice, but his honesty is very refreshing. Here's the video.
