Who says crime doesn't pay?

Who says crime doesn't pay?

MPs retaliation for having their £23,000 per year expenses fiddle stopped is to demand they are rewarded with a £40,000 per year pay rise! They are arguing that this will allow them to pay for themselves their second homes. However, if the public purse pays for this I fail to see how MPs can claim they are paying for their second homes themselves.

All too often the TV cameras in the House of Commons show that too many MPs are absent for most of the time. Therefore, why should they have two homes when it would be cheaper to commute into London on the odd occasions that MPs do decide to make an appearance?

Scrap John Lewis list for a £40,000 pay rise

The bastards should be made to clock in & out.
Anything less than 90% attendance, except if they have a letter from their mammy, and their pay should be docked.
Come on John, lets have a campaign to get the piggies out from the feeding troughs into the real world.
I'm all for "free" range pork!

BB: I am disgusted at the level of ripping people off that this load of bastards get up to. If they do not want to serve the people then the lot of them should do the decent thing and resign and give others a chance to do the job at £60,000 per year!
