I don't think anyone would begrudge MPs any reasonable allowances for expenses, but what s going on at the momeant is just taking the p***. When you hear about our erstwhile Prime Minister, re-mortgaging his house for double or treble its value, then claiming the interest back of the tax payer is, to say the least a bit dodgy. If we did it the police would be very interested, but yet it appears that under the rules it was legit, in whic case we should all play by the same rules
