When I worked down south I rented a room in a house - I was allowed to run that rent through as a company expense. What I couldn't do was fill the room with all the niceties of home - I pay for SKY at home, but I couldn't pay for it again while down south and claim that cost back like that snot gobbling cretin we have 'running' the country did. All MP's expenses should be, as the Inland Revenue state, wholly and exclusively incurred as part of their job as a MP. This lot don't have their cake and eat it, they have their cake and then multiple cakes also. Fekin wonkers the lot of them!

As someone posted in another thread its the rank hypocrisy that gets me.
How can they expect to be in touch with the country when they are all busy with their snouts in the trough.
Is there not one MP with a shred of integrity who will stand up and denounce this stuff?Comment
