assylum

I second that spelling, in this context.




Although I would prefer arseylum but that's pushing a gag too far.

preferable to a secure hotel built specifically for MP's?

Blarney indeed.

I would have invited her in !!

So would he............. except for the 120 TV Cameras Oh and the Mrs was "home".....

Who are you going to claim the money from? We're not talking about tax deductible expenses from your own company here... we're talking about tax free fully expensed from your own country!!

Plus tax free money to hire family members as "assistants", junkets paid for as part of working groups and research with corporates, Directorships and free entry into major events.

Not forgetting being able to fully equip a home at the tax payers expense and keep the proceeds after losing the next election.

So having glamour model from the Daily Sport outside your house posing with a basket full of porn DVD's is preferable to a secure hotel built specifically for MP's?

Blarney indeed.

I beleive the official line is that they need more privacy than a hotel would be able to provide.

Load of blarney if you ask me mind...

Premier Inn

Actually, there's a Premier Inn in County Hall, about five minutes walk from Parliament over Westminster Bridge, at under £120/night during the week. If it's good enough for me, it should be more than good enough for an MP

far too good for lying, cheating, embezzling MPs !!!

Why can't we just build a big Ibis style hotel on the grass right outside the commons? If MP's expenses are entirely legitimate I can't see how they can argue with that?

So surely, as I am taking it from my company, from money that I have earned, I have even more right to exploit these new rules that I am about to write !!

[gingerjedi]

I am going to write some new rules for my company so that I can claim for a second home if I have to work more that 35 miles from home. If Eric Pickles can, then I think I should be able to as well.

What amazes me is how MPs can bypass the IR with these rules. Surely, they should be investigated as any other person in the country would be?

In China they would be executed for fraud !!
