is anyone else really pissed off at these chaps screwing us out of our hard earned money and wasting it? then they have the cheek to launch campaigns
on benefit fraud...(not that thats right)
think we need to 'clean out our closet'
they are a complete shower....
Well beginning of next month you'll have your chance with the elections. Use your vote to get these fraudsters out.
It’s totally disgraceful
Next they'll be not paying for TV licenses, council tax and using other people’s wheelie bins!! bunch co artist free loaders
The amount the exchequer loses annually to benefit fraudsters is infinitesimal compared to what it loses and tax fiddles and 'creative
accounting' by the big companies (the ones that these politicians end up with a seat on the board of when they leave office). Or the amount the
same politicians, who scream about benefit fraud, rob us of in bogus expenses.
I reiterate; Lamp posts, rope..............
Does it wind me up? - YES
Does it shock me? - NO
What does make me laugh though is all the people spouting on about how they work for real companies in the real world and how they can't and
"wouldn't dare" claim for all these things.
Truth to the fore, most people claim for what they can and would claim for more if they could. If you were claiming expenses at work and your
colleagues said - "hey guess what I've been claiming for my mortgage, moat and pool and I'm not breaking the rules" - then
you'd pretty soon start thinking - " well I'll have some of that then!".
I'm not sayin it's morally right, far from it, but the system and those cotrolling it was wrong and people just played it for what it was
worth - LOTS £££.
Knee-jerk reaction and a general election? Who's going to guarantee the next bunch of MPs are any better (or worse)?
Another thing that makes me chuckle is how happy old Tony-Tone must be that he handed the stick (and what a shitty stick it was) over to Gordon when
he did. He must be killing himself - he never did like Gordon anyway

The MPs don't change though do they despite our votes (or lack of).
They are still members of parliament and will continue to claim for what they feel like regardless of which party comes into power.
It's not just Labour MPs claiming for all sorts, it's the whole lot of 'em.
Bring in a dictator I say and let's get back to communism!

Richard Brunstrom threatens to probe MPs
May 18 2009 by Dan Beavan, Daily Post
Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom has vowed to investigate Welsh MPs expenses.
He said at a Rhyl Rotary Club meeting he was shocked by the Daily Telegraph revelations and was considering asking for any evidence of
law-breaking.
“The contempt being shown to the public by MPs beggars belief," he said. “There has been talk of funding private prosecutions and bloody well
right, too.
"As a public servant who has always acted honourably, I need a receipt if I buy a Mars bar and want to claim for it, and I would arrest anyone
who stole a Mars bar from Woolworths.
"We cannot forgive the banality of people who steal from the public purse and then have the gall to believe that if they hand it back, then that
makes it all right.
“They have no respect for the process and these revelations I believe warrant criminal investigation.
"This is an issue of such public importance the police should be taking a positive interest in what‘s emerging."
He now might ease off on drivers in North Wales !!

Unfortunately here in argentina, corrupt politicians are very common, they buy votes from poor people, In countrys like argentina is frustrating see
how these miserable populist politicians use a poor people to win the elections.
The best weapon is have a good memory in the elections.
