A none voter is just another vote for the winners, if you dont vote against them, you may as well have voted for whoever gets in power, it is long overdue that this was exposed (the fraudulant expenses), it has been going on for years and still is going on, I have been of the opinion for a long time, that the main reasons to become an MP are to line thier own pockets, and to massage an over inflated ego.

this is the best thing since sliced bread.somebody must have upset rupert murdoch and co.......:D:D:D every day somebody else is outed long may it continue..this is one of the reasons they mede it more expensive to run for council or an mp because they must have known the poo was going to hit the fan.whats the alternative going to be when you go to polls:confused:

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

Glad you said 'outed'... noone has been ousted yet, which is no surprise, and if they did, they would be back in office, in another department in no time. :rolleyes:

According to todays Daily Mirror, Jack Straw says " MP`s need some restrictions on what is being made public, we should be accountable for what we spend but some of the information has been gratuitously personal " Which is similar to the arguments against ID cards, if you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about.
Other MP`s were furious "legitimate" expenses were being axed, meaning people from poor backgrounds could be prevented from becoming MP`s. What absolute patronising claptrap.

Excellent sketch from the Independent on Mad Gord's election launch yesterday. His description of the assembled cabinet minsters is a corker.

The Sketch: Vote Labour! Yes, that really was the message - Simon Carr, Commentators - The Independent

I have to say I've never read the independent Wynonie, but that was hilarious, I had the same reaction I have when reading Lesses posts:D:D:D

to be fair at the time GB claimed expenses for cleaning he was not married..he didn't have anyone to do the cleaning.;)

It looks like Speaker Martin is is finally going to make a statement this afternoon. What do you think he will say?

a) I'm guilty of a cover up and I shall now retire to my grace and favour apartment with a bottle of brandy and a loaded revolver and do the honourable thing.

b) I'm guilty but I'll resign at the end of this parliament (providing I get my one hundred grand payoff to which I will then be entitled).

c) I'm innocent and the rest of the members are innocent of all charges so it's business as usual.

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

I think B, I doubt he'll announce that he's guilty though!

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

I reckon he'll end up with a cushy job on the EU gravy train. That's what most governments do with troublesome/tainted/has-been types that they want to get out of the way. Then he'll be able to enjoy expenses and all sorts of goodies beyond his wildest dreams!

He was, of course, claiming the second home allowance for his Glasgow home town and constituency while at the same time living in his grace and favour apartment in the Palace of Westminster.
