I suspect very few of us have any idea how hard many MPs
work and the pressure they can be under.
I notice Jack Straw was "too busy" to check whether he'd claimed 100%
or 50% of his council tax back, but not too busy to get the value of
the 100% right every year.

Any of us can legitimately
forget to do things or to check things properly - we can all make
mistakes.
How in the name of all that's holy can you forget that you've paid off
your mortgage?
Or that an *£8000* TV is not required to be an MP, or any one of about (it appears) a thousand other things that were 'within the rules'

It seems that once again the Critical Classes have completely missed the
point. The rules as I have heard them are quite unambiguous and state
that whatever it is lying cheating bastards are claiming for must be to
do with their job as an MP. So, while having a telebox for their 2nd
London home, that they are perfectly entitled to earn huge profits on
when they sell while you taxpayers pay the mortgage, could be argued as
needed whereas an 8 grand one is arguably taking the piss. As are porn
videos for hubby and your secretary to watch while you are in The House
and getting a man in to hoover the moat.

What this weeks gutter press witch hunt puts us in danger of is missing
the target completely and failing to strongly question the fitness of
those who have employed the peeps in the parliamentary fees office who
have cocked up big time in their advice giving. It is not that our MPs
are lying conniving dishonest scum operating solely on the principle
that troughs are there for them to put their snouts in that is the real
issue here but that they have failed to employ the right people whose
job it is to stop them getting caught. Once you have established beyond
any argument that they have totally failed in their basic job of keeping
their own house in order then we can start with the serious business of
questioning their right to keep ours.

Our civil service used to be the envy of the world and now it is the
laughing stock and it is the fault of you lot for thinking that voting
according to your strongly held political beliefs will bring about a
better Britain, rather than listening to those who know better like
those loyal English speaking Colonials who own the mechanisms of mass
manipulation which worked so well for us in the past.

The choice is yours, either you continue blindly along this foolish path
of believing that your views are the right and proper ones and watch
this country go further down the pan or you do what you are told by the
media opinion makers and return us to our former glories of Empire and
Homosexuals who haven't come out yet being in charge of Things and a Man
being Master in his own home and prosperity and happiness for all.
Until and unless you do this then expect "revelations" of the type
happening now to be a normal part of your newsvendors bread and butter.


OK, I'm pissed, but are you aiming this explicitly at me (in which case I'll have to come back in the morning, cos I can't see how it applies *to me*) or making a general point (in which case I think I agree).
