They're all bent, crooked thieves.
fraud galore all along the way. and nothing gets done about it.
if they were you or I we'd get locked up.

they'll get what's coming to them one day. they'll get so far up themselves that they'll drop their guard soon enough.

we just read about it non stop now. all the corruption and the thieving of the tax payers money.
what do we do about our masters wrong doings?

nothing.
we're weak. scared that our masters will punish us for daring to be bothered.

as you were sheep.

For once I agree with the op. Yet another reason to vote UKIP when the elections come around.

He[Sir Ian Kennedy, the Ipsa chair] said MPs were allowed to rent from political parties but if they did so they must provide "extra assurance" including an independent valuation to show the lease represented the market rate
So not breaking the rules then

There are no rules to stop MPs renting from a political party, but Ipsa says it is to review the rules
The current rules include checks that those who rent from parties do so at commercial rates to prevent an extra taxpayer "subsidy" to that party

but it does make it clear that it would have cost less if rented from other landlords so I chalk this one upto morally wrong imo

stop them doing what ?

Tax payer funded parties removes any accusations of favours for donors and if we scrapped expenses and paid the mp's properly then they couldn't fiddle expenses

When l read this article - it stunned me for the simple reason is, that the taxes that we pay is being abused in this manner.

If that was Joe Bloggs on the street, and this was found out, we would be in Wandsworth Prison by the end of the week.

No, you wouldn't, as nothing in that report says what they did was illegal.

not at all marty I know some very wealthy people who have earned it through hard work and I respect that. Lying cheating politicians however I have absolutely no respect for at all and I certainly do not think they deserve what they get now let alone any more :) I am on a diet btw so no chips ta and this so called addict still has not had a smoke since I said. Hows your addiction battle going? you cold turkey or on patches or e cigs?
