Anyone see it ?
Of course whoever was on it was going to get grief re the MPs troughing.
A couple of things though --- who in Gods name is advising The Labour Party ? id have a good look at that as it must be a Tory. Magret Becket (boy she wasnt at front of que when good looks where given out) starts off hugely arogant and dismissive, says the reason she "made a mistake" with her expences was "she was busy at the time and didnt pay much attention" errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so how come its to much and not to little ? I must try that with the Tax Man myself.
All the MPs said that this hoooooo haaaaaaaaaaaa is taking momentum away from tackling "bigger and more important things that they should be dealing with" --WRONG 100% WRONG if we the voters now cant have the belief in our MPS re a small issue of cheating on their expences why and how should we have confidence that they can handle any other issue in OUR best intrest. -----------------------------GENERAL ELECTION now.

Covers it for me, absolutely right!
£65K a year, ain't bad when you don't have to spend it, as you can claim for everything. £400 a month on food with no reciepts needed.
To be replaced by another shower ...............first time ever I have no intentions of voting.
So meet our next leaders. Cameron is back second left I believe.
Bunch of public school tosspots!
Not defending any of this but did anyone stop to think why the Torygraph paid £300K for this information - something to do with the fact that a partial recovery is on its way in time for the next election - Cameron has completely failed to exploit the recession and only the Lib Dems have offered credible alternatives.
So when the time comes to vote let's weigh up everything
In my view, two wrongs never, ever make a right!
Let them revise the system of expenses so it is totally transparent but do it quickly! (If necessary a quick fix pending a more permanent one in future).
In the meantime I think there should be a general election called now, those involved can chose to stand or stand down and take their chances at the ballot box. This will lance the boil now, get rid of the poisonous individuals and renew the process without it dragging on until next year and dragging decent politicians down with the bad ones. It will also help to avoid too much swinging to the extremes.
Will Brown call an election? Well he should because the longer this drags on the worse it will get for him and for Labour. Frankly given his lack of political nous, I suspect he'll try to tough it out and go down to a worse defeat with far greater repercussions for the democratic process.
I wonder if its a case of seeing you boos at it and thinking aaa balls i may as well have some of it..........to think they may have been doing this for years......and as for the Speaker do the good thing and resign as a principle.......
There was a C4 programme on him a while back if i remeber correctly called "the trouble with Dave"
Anyone see it??
Very eye opening...
Without a feasible alternative it's no wonder turnouts are at record lows.
I've just seen your name and "shower" in the same message and had a horrible flashback from Wigan.
In this nanny state where they TELL us what we can do and FINE us if we dont they truely cant see how sh*t this is and how much damage their greed has done.
I was very well paid in Qatar, i could also have claimed for 3 meals a day but (i only eat one at home and sandwichs) i only ever claimed for 1 meal a day.Not sure if i was a mug or just not as greddy as i should have been.
I think there needs to be an investigation which distinguishes errors, etc from fraud. Those comitting Fraud should resign or be sacked as MPs
what would have happened if you had put in bogus lunch and extra claims and then got caught?
"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
"Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
"Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you
have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
"Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves become the greatest grievance. Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do. I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place; go, get you out!
"Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!"
