"My main residence is a caravan, er, pig sty, er, er, umm, it's within the rules!"
Margaret Beckett, who retains delusions of grandeur (and her security blanket) as well as delusions of competence, managed to claim £3,155.48 for a new boiler for her "little cottage" built out of pigsty bricks (according to her attempts to justify huge amounts of maintenance being lavished on it at taxpayers' expense).
Let's assume she hired a Stanilaus to plumb the new boiler in, and it took him all day. £250 tops.
So the new boiler cost £2,905.
Just what sort of fucking new boiler did the old boiler buy?

A taxpayer funded boiler buying another boiler at taxpayers expense.
You forget that there would probably be a handling charge imposed by Mr Beckett*. After all, this is "other peoples money". It's not as if Mrs B had any incentive to negotiate a price with the supplier/fitter of the goods as if, for instance and God forbid, Mrs B was spending her own money.
I use "her own money" as shorthand for her actually issuing a cheque on her personal bank account, but since it seems that every penny she's ever received in her life has directly or indirectly come from the taxpayer, "her own money" is not really an adequate description.
* handling the transaction not Mrs B: excuse me while I retch
She truly is the bloody limit. Probably paying over the odds for the plumber also to have a go at her personal piping. I hate the bitch and all she stands for. Keep watching 'em Peng.
Lexander. I would imagine her personal piping is well and truly furred up.
Just fucking imagine the horror of arriving at your chosen campsite to find that your allocated pitch is next to a caravan containing La Beckett....
Penguin, well, with my luck... No, thats it. camping is now OUT.
Jeeze
She is just like Princess Anne on a very, very, very bad day.
