absolutely Greg, I'm sure that teh honest ones amongst your colleagues are as sick of all teh smoke and mirrors that seems to be in play as teh rest of us.

I would bet that there will be no extortionate bill for "moat clearing" amongst the receipts too!:)

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

That was one of the more outragious claims to my mind Lindsay, the guy is as rich as anything, lives in a mansion house, in a field, with a moat around it, and then expects the common man to pay to clean the moat! It smacks of the rich looking after themselves whilst standing on the poor who pay them to be there.

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

Mick's got a moat out the back I believe:D:D

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

matters not, he don't claim expenses fer Less to clean it.:D

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

And I think we've got to try to remember that the good honest ones are the majority and that it's only a few that have been outrageous. The papers have made a big deal about it, and rightly so, but even so we need to remember that most MPs are there for the right reason and do consider their constituents and the public purse.

absolutely, but clowns will always be brainwashed by the media,not a lot we can do about that, a dummy is a dummy.:rolleyes:

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

How do you know that? I very much doubt that the Telegraph is going to go through all 600-and-odd MPs one by one - the story will lose its news value long before then. For all we know, the "good, honest ones" might be in the minority!

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

thats possible wynonie, though its summat i doubt very much. its like anything, i knew some real bad/dishonest policemen way back, but most were sound.:)

The best is yet to come when we find out who signed in and then truanted and became directors of large company's.Still claiming that they were working for the good of the country and their constituents.

Should they be in Parliament or Strangeways???

Some get caught and some do not.

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

No, they won't pick on them one by one but they would have printed a table of everything if they'd all been at it.

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

I think they will - just to keep them all running like headless chickens wondering if they wil be next. It also sells more papers

Re: MP expenses - Our Greg's
 

Why would they do that? It would totally destroy the "scoop" element of exposing them a few at a time. As Margaret says, that's what sells newspapers. Personally, I think you're being far too generous by saying it's just "a few", but I'm just a cynical old sod! ;)
