mp's expenses

[gina32]

do you think we ought to be able to see what they claim for? some are taking it to court so we cant, is that right or not

They will put up all sorts of reasons why - security, privacy for their families etc etc, but actually they don't want anybody to see what they actually get, which is shedloads of cash by everybody else's standards.

MP's already have pensions which are incredible by what everybody else gets and most would be out of reach of all except the overpaid fat cats, and they won't allow any of the restrictions on our pensions to apply to them.

The House of Commons is just a gravy train, where a load of fast talking crooks of all parties are ripping off the rest of us.

It was hilarious last night, when some female labour MP talking about the free votes on parts of the Embryo Bill said that free votes were important so that MP's could take into account their consciences, there Religion and the Party. What about the poor bl**dy constituents who voted her in and help pay for her to exercise her conscience, her religion and her party career? Not a mention! Once they have your vote, you are just a load of something nasty on the pavement to make sure they don't step in on the way to the bank. What about the promised referendum etc etc.....

No wonder less and less people vote - all you are doing is decide who gets their snout in the trough for the next five years.

Lying, thieving, conniving, cheating, conspiring cowards the lot of 'em!

And next time I'll say what I really think!
