I have no beef with anyone claiming justified expenses, whilst carrying out the work of public office, though it should be open to public scrutiny, and those expenses should be set by an independent body.
Which they were in the case of H.B.C., but were then superciliously ignored by the ruling council group.
Massive £10 to £25 Rindi, you've got to remember that MPs have their own homes in the capital, well Greg seemed to have he was claiming for a mortgage, they won't be eating out every night or shouldn't be that's the all purpose of having a home, if you're in London for one night it hard to find a descent meal, it was okay for you whilst you were living there you find these things out, but even so do you think its right to claim £200 a month for food, that's £10,000 bloody pound a year for gods sake, nice work if you can get it
