At last..

A police investigation into MPs expenses, nor all but a few, Elliott Morley, Baroness Oodin and David Chaytor being three of them, it beggars belief how anyone could claim �10,000 in Council tax when the bill for the year is �4,000??? and the DT is publishing a "glossy supplement" today to verify this, should make interesting reading, I am not a DT reader, but may buy it today.

the whole thing is disgusting, one mp claimed the max �400 each time for food. why is this allowed to happen? i went to see my local mp once and when i was leaving the office i told him what a disgrace the place was, cobwebs everywhere dirty carpets dust you could write your name in couldnt see out of the windows for filth on them, and his reply, cant afford to get a cleaner!!!!!!!

[Bobbisox]

very true Gina, he, like the rest of the greedy ba$tards are probably spending it on other luxuries, I am going to check the list on line and if my MP is on it, I will be definatley emailing him.

[Bobbisox]

Just checked the list, it is my MP, Dave Anderson, who has claimed �400 per month for food, another is Newcastle's Nick Brown �19,000 which he does not see as "unreasonable" please correct me here, but does food come into the expenses, I would imagine it would have to if you were living 380 miles from home, but �19,000?????

Good morning Joy.....yepp Police in vestigation and then Inland Revenue..

P.S Had a fracas with Boo yesterday....my fault entirely.....I tried to "wind her up" then couldn't stop. LOL LOL

[Bobbisox]

you naughty sqads...lol
bet you came off better..lmao

[gina32]

but surely you have food when youre at home so no different than when youre away so how can they be able to claim for it, not made myself to clear but hope you know what i mean

[anotheoldgit]

If or when these cheats get slung inside, I wonder if they will claim expenses for their third home, HMP?

[VHG]

I find it staggering that they could claim up to �250 a time WITHOUT RECIEPTS (not any more).

The Inland Revenue would not allow any other organization in the country to give out �250 a time expenses without receipts.

They are getting all the flack they deserve.

I hope some of them end up in jail.

Hi guys, sorry I didn't get back to you, went out for a drink with our friends, I agree totally with all the comments, it transpires this morning, the wannabee speakers are all in the fray for the expenses rip off!!!
it gets better doesn't?

Don't hold your breath waiting for any successful prosecutions. The police will have to prove that there was deliberate intention to mislead the fees office, and not simply 'accounting oversights', which won't be easy.

Of course, the rest of us couldn't get away with such an excuse when trying to disprove tax evasion and other fraud, but that's the advantage they have of being able to make up one set of rules for us and a different set for them.

Escuse me?

Is there any reason why the two of you have decided to bring me into this?

Nice to see that you both are getting your jollies at my expense, it basically goes to show how childishly mallicious you both can be.
