    No I wouldn't.

    I am sick to death of hearing about MPs expenses. Yes the system is wrong, it needs sorting, lets leave them to get on with it. The telegraph are spinning this out to sell papers and I ain't buying :)

    You seem to think its the system that is wrong.............its the thieving MPs that are wrong.........and without the Telegraph publishing the facts the 3 MPs (at the last count) would not have been sacked or suspended..............still here is a question..........How many light bulbs are needed to change an MP ?

    I have to say if I looked at this I would get so annoyed it would ruin my week. Its bad enough listening to the news. As everyone agreed, if any of us tried this sort of thing on at work, you wouldn't be asked to pay it back - you would be sacked, very possibly with a court case as well.
    The same should apply to the MP's some of whose claims are not merely milking the system but are actively fraud.

    hi,

    this is already on the net! Here >>>>>http://www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/HoCallowances0708.pdf

    just checked my own MP :eek: and yes, I'm VERY annoyed - but glad I found out (I think?):confused:

    You can always check out your own, it certainly gets the blood pumping on a Sunday morning :mad:

    wow, thanks chrisbf1 :o - I thought those were bad enough!

    How many of the salaries, which they don't mind us seeing, are paid to family members, do you think?

    I was shocked about the guy who paid his gardener £5 an hour - obviously this is classed as a living wage by these freaks :eek:
