Crime in Westminister Village reaches all time high
It looks suspiciously like blackmail to me, MPs are demanding a 33% pay rise on their basic £61,000 annual pay, to compensate them if rules are brought in to end the scam which allows them to claim up to £22,000 per year in additional costs allowance (ACA). No, this is not the Kray Twins in the East End in the 1960s. This is MPs today. It is claimed that they work for us. Filling their pockets out of the public purse is a strange way of working for us.
I think the first thing we need to do is remove the power for MPs to award themselves pay rises.
The second thing is to ensure that any expenses allowed are directly related to their work and that each penny claimed in expenses has to be accounted for.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
