It takes five years to find out if an MP is up to the job. If I was in a job and didnt do the business for my boss, I would be out on my ear within a week. A five year contract for posing at £63,000 a year is very nice thank you. |

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
think one criteria of judging a local MP is to see how much money/jobs he/she has been able to bring into his area . Seems Blackburn is allways a the front of the queue when Govt. money is being passed out , wether this is because the local MP Jack Straw has more political clout than a regular back bencher is anyones guess , but its a sure vote getter

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
I do think there is something wrong with the country when the people who are charged with looking after our welfare and running the country are paid £63k, but the man who runs Tesco gets £1.5m plus £4m bonus.
I'm sure Sir Terry works very hard and I'm sure he'll justify his salary but let's face it, the person who decides whether he presses the little red button has a bit more responsibility when it all boils down to it. I suppose the difference, and the argument, is that our MPs are paid out of the public purse, i.e. our hard earned money. But, if I'm honest, I'd prefer to have Sir Terry running the country than the current administration and if he was worth £1.5m then I'd be prepared to pay it. It's the old adage, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys. Whilst I realise that £63k is not peanuts to the majority of us, we have to pay people what they're worth in the long run. |

Let's face it, we all knew they wouldn't be able to take their snouts out of the trough.

'For 13 years all five ministers at the Department of Health were given £8 of fruit a day.'
'They filled up their office fruit bowls at a cost to the taxpayer of more than £100,000.' Labour’s fruit freebies cost taxpayer £100,000 - Times Online No wonder they regularly produced so much....:pain30: |

As your chum, Peter Britcliffe pointed out, when he said that he couldn't eat in London for a tenner, and used that as an excuse to ignore the recommendations of an independent panel, and the Conservatives voted to increase subsistance expenses by a massive percentage increase. Just as I helpfully gave Cllr. Britcliffe directions to the Stockpot restaurants in London, perhaps I should have wrote to the various Health Ministers, with directions to Berwick Street market, just a short walk from Whitehall, were they could have bought their five a day for about a quid. Council makes a meal of rises - Accrington Observer http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...and-45105.html 'Labour Councillors Bernard Dawson, Clare Pritchard, Malcolm Pritchard, Munsif Dad, and Colette McCormack, were so incensed by the decision to vote through the allowances they asked for their no vote to be recorded.' Expenses rise sparks fury in council chamber - Accrington Observer My, how things change, in just a few short years. :rolleyes: |
