Expensive expenses

[BOB D.O.L.E]

None of them have any credibilty left.....Who to vote for?

Quote...."Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

so what do we do trazor?

Gone are any politicians of stature, they are all exposed as charlatans.

I have written 3 times to my MP with no reply.

As you said, short of a revolution the status quo will remain.............

I am severely tempted to vote BNP, just in exasperation, and I wonder how many others will do the same.
And as the BNP are a racist party, it shows my frustrations.

well trazor your coming to your senses but i think a one party is a no go
we need a peoples party or a district party its sounds better than the street party we got now, they have bankrupt are country

And the banks Burn them to hell.
the capitalist system needs to be brought down it will never work
the problem is that the ruling class has full control over media
we are all damned its just like going over the top.

we need a war and we are going to get one very soon.

The really revolting thing is of course that those who are supposed to represent the working class take far more advantage then those who are said to be "the rich"

A typical example:

Thousands of ponds for cleaning.
In itself over the top, but that is not the point. It wasn't paid to a cleaning company, but to one of EDF's directors.
What has a director of an electricity company to do with cleaning payments?
Apart from the family relation as the brother of the pm, I can't think of any way those 2 facts are related.

 

[bengasman]

If MPs have done nothing wrong, what is Gordon Brown apologising for?
(Apart from trying to save face, and seat)

Wonder what Camerons excuse is then?

Contrary to that commie robber from scotland, he did not offer excuses, but return of the money that was, although maybe legally, unfairly claimed.

Members of both parties have been guilty of using the system, but those who are supposed to be here for the working class, have fleeced us for much more than the tories, and much more blatantly.

Cameron: Pay back, or get fired.
Brown: "erh,... sorry."
Brown's side kick: "We will look into this"

Yet another one from the long list of examples of how useless labour are

 

[oompah]

A lot of them are falling over each other paying back money ready for their job interviews(general election)saying to the voters look at me it was within the rules but i thought it right and proper i paid it back so vote for me I'm honest.

The thing with cameron was that Gordon Brown apologised outright without excuses whereas cameron tried to steer himself away from the heat by saying he was shocked and appalled by it as if he didnt know what was going on , yeah right!

Thing is if he is that naive then do you really want him as PM?
Or if he is such a liar do you want him as PM?

I'd rather go for the one that held his hands up and apologised.

 

[holmslaw]

If an mp was not listed by the telegraph, does that mean they are innocent? or just too slimey to get caught?

 

[hi1]

Yes libby thanks for stealing from us as well

 

[bengasman]

....I'd rather go for the one that held his hands up and apologised.

Cameron thinks: oops, caught redhanded, stop the misuse right now and give the money back.

Brown: mmmh, I think they are on to us. let's see if we can buy some time and keep the money.

I'd rather go for the one who stops the abuse of allowances, and forces his club to give some of it back.

The problem is that MPs are well underpaid. Dentist £100k. GP £120k Head of local authority up to £240K. MP - £64k. Pay them more and they won't need to claim daft expenses.

Or, that those listed are overpaid!

 

[bengasman]

I'd say head of council is way overpaid and mp about right.
Don't forget that for a lot of them it is a part time job. Ever watched the parliament channel? House is 90% empty most of the time.
Try and find out how often your own mp is present in his office; deffo not 90% of the time.

Shytalkz charges £250 per hour - more than any of those listed.
