susanna foxtrot: Ive met a few MP's who have given their all and genuinely want to help the people they represent.  Why are you responding en masse just because a few MP's on both sides have claimed for more than they should.  What about the ones that dont and should - and need a pat on the back. I sigh with disgust at the animal ...

susanna foxtrot: acebusman 'some of the most lax law making that has ever been ' so it works both ways then - lax for everyone not just MP's.  I need to reiterate until they make the law absolutely clear people will make their own judgements.  Anyway have you ever been an MP and if you have not how the hell can you say what was a ...

bodgerw:since this labour (communist) government came to power in 1997, we are now spyed on than the russians ever where, more cameras and tracking devices than every other country in the WORLD. WHY!!!! The only thing I can think to link communism with Labour is the never ending growth of the public service 'jobs'. It would have been better if ...

MPs are not 'owed' anything. They are paid a good salary. The electorate is not responsible for MPs luxuries and handouts to their family members, but they are responsible for allowing this country to go to the dogs and wasting billions every day.

susanna foxtrot: Who are we to judge what is a real expense unless it is in writing.  Again, I reiterate, if the rule is to let the individual be the judge then who is to blame - the system not them.  Like in all financial matters, these expenses should be made clear to the letter, but unfortunately they are not and look what ...

susanna foxtrot:I think its disgraceful that we can pick on MP's about their expenses but forgive everybody else the perks of the job.  thats applying double standards. Disgraceful. You are right. Poor Balls and Cooper with their nearly quarter of a million pounds worth of income between them.  It is just not enough to live off ...

john e:It's time Gorble mike got his cards.   He is an insult to his position.   Looking back on some of the sreakers in the past, they must be spinning in their graves.   Lib/Dems were labours lapdogs but 'last of the summer wine' has given them a bit more backbone, pity the others of his party are either so wet and ...

loyalty: We seem to be missing the point. Anyone in outside industry would be sacked and in most cases prosecuted. Try saying sorry to the tax man and see what happen.   The tax inspectors are all under orders to keep their noses out of the MPs crimes.

john e: Morning Liza, like you I get pestered with offers of loans, and I too bin them.   Why, because I could not afford to repay them, simple.   If Banks only lent to those who had good colateral then they would not be in this mess.  MM. What would I do I the  RBoS, NR and BoS crashed.   Very little ...
