Where's Guy Fawkes when you need him?
We let of fireworks every year in his honour and he FAILED. Imagine the party we would have if someone actually DID blow up parliament.
shoot her!
It just gets worse & worse
To think of all those single mums & their kids living on practically nothing and this lot are squandering tax money on furnishings for their
'other' homes
Where’s the Gestapo police force when you need them?
Feck... You can claim THAT much for your home!..
I'm in the WRONG Job.
Bah!!..... Never trust a politician!!!
I dont know what is more concerning... the fact that the rules are so bent to let them to this... or the fact that these people have so little moral
fibre and grip on reality that they dont seem to realise/care that they are spending more than most people earn on pointless garbage!
Some people need a reality check!

that's truly awful and breaks my heart,
why should anyone put up with a 40 inch screen when there are 60 inchers around!!
This unfortunately isn't a new problem. If you're interested google the speech that Oliver Cromwell gave to parliment when he came to
power, the coincidences are unbelievable. Basically he condemed all those in parliment for being corrupt and without morals and worshiping gold
instead of God.
I couldn't believe it when I read it.
Makes you wonder what enraged the Fawkes so much that he tried what he did. Maybe he found out what they were wasting his money on!!
Use the street lamps on Westminster bridge for something decent and hang the lot of them!! After all stealing from us/the country, therefore
betraying us could be considered treason which still carries the death penalty!!
Bring it on and televise it.
It's OK - they've got rid of the speaker now - he made them do it!

Not long now and we can let our anger be known. Good excuse to vote for a party who haven 't had a go at running the country such as UKIP.
If they haven't had many MP's they can't of been that corrupt.
The fact that the UK population is so disillusioned with the whole lot of them that it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest of the lowest
turnover in history!
I truly hope I'm wrong and that Labour and Tories get a total and utter thrashing by the Independents... but honestly lads, will it really change
anything!

when i was a sales rep my boss never checked what i claimed for on my expenses ever, i didnt really take advantage to much maybe the odd meal or two,
i used to stay at hotels for weeks and i never went for the best alwasy the 2nd best as i treated the money as my own, i even used to put my own fuel
in the company car at the weekend.
dont get me wrong i wasnt a saint but nothing that would stop me going to heaven over.
i work for local government. if people take the mick out of their expenses they are very quickly given their marching orders.

You must have missed the smiley off the end as one of their MEPs is in prison for corruption.

Oliver Cromwell Speech - Dissolution of the Long Parliament
Dissolution of the Long Parliament by Oliver Cromwell given to the House of Commons, 20 April 1653
quote:
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored 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 gone!
So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!

As ever over generalisation is a bad thing! Though at 25 not sure I class as a

They expect the unemployed to take a job anywhere within a one and a half hour commute...
so anyone within a public transport travel (travel expenses paid) time of Westminister of an hour and half lives in their own home with an office
supplied by by us in a purpose built building controlled exactly like any other civil service/department (security.. maintenance.. etc ).
If you live outside the travel zone, we (the public) buy houses or flats close to Westminister which are supplied for the duration of their term in
office. just like downing street is...
a central repositry of furniture/cookers/tv's/computers/fridges etc.. a choice of four or five of each to choose from on loan.. for the duration
of each term.. if you don't like whats on offer then you buy your own..
At the end of your parliamentry term , if you win you can get it redecorated (again you get a selection of styles and again if you want something
different.... you pay for it)
If you lose your seat you move out and the MP who replaces you gets it redecorated and refurnished in their choice from the repositry before they move
in..
If they don't like or want the accomodation on offer.. they supply and pay for their own...
Broken loo seats, boiler problems, changing bulbs wouldn't be a problem as it would be under maintenance contracts just like any other government
department..
It would not be cheap to set up or even run but I think it would fairer and probably cheaper to run than the present system.. It also not be open to
abuse or censure..
This system was how my family lived in Hong Kong (my dad was a civil servant.. and you you paid 7% of your salary for the privilege... the longer you
were there, the more senior you became and higher and better the housing available to you) It wasn't perfect but if you didn't want it you
could buy or rent your own
