Answer 1

i am glad it has been re;leased they have been making monkeys out of us for years

instead of people whining about single parents and immagrants they need to look where the real money is going .

Answer 2

They have "allowances" and do they claim the full amount,you bet they do.

We are taxed to the eyebrows and then we have to pay them!!!!

Answer 3

I am a carpenter.If I need a tool to do my job I have to pay for it out of my own money.How come those greedy pigs get everything for nothing.Utterly disgraceful.

Answer 4

I am gobsmacked - especially with things like tv licenses - I am a pensioner and have to pay for mine - my son at uni has to have one and pay for his.  Most MPs dont earn the money they get anyway so to pay for all of these "extras" is a scandal.

Answer 5

When poor people scam the tax-payer,(often out of sheer desperation),they are called cheats & criminals by the Government,(see the ads on tv),but when MPs do it,it's all perfectly legal.That miserable b*st**d,Blair,even claimed for his tv licence.I'm furious.As for Prescott,he claimed £4,000 for food.He would have to eat wherever he lived,so how can he justify that?He will probably say it was for 'official lunches',yeah,right.

Answer 6

All MP`s expenses should be open to scrutiny by the people who have to pay for them.
