MPs say vote for us and we will rob you all blind
"MPs are planning to award themselves an across-the-board £23,000 second home allowance to remove the embarrassment of submitting expenses claims".
"The committee chairing a review of Parliamentary expenses and allowances, chaired by the Speaker, Michael Martin, is said to be considering an automatic lump sum of around £23,000, which would avoid the exposure of public scrutiny of receipts for small household items".
Given that MPs are supposed to be accountable to the electorate, I feel that they should account for this disgraceful conduct. To stop public scrutiny of their expenses claims, they have decided to award themselves a £23,000 pay rise. This is not just snouts in the trough, they are wallowing in the trough!
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.
I'm afraid nothing short of stringing a few of them up from the nearest lamp posts is going to get any sanity back in Westminster.
