  • Hi,

    surprised at you aliEnRIK, being a techie guy and posting the link on this forum, but thanks, that's a lot handier than hunting through this.

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    would take years to read through them all, think I'll have a wee look at the locals, and let the Telegraph do the rest.

    Pfttt. All the good stuff's blacked out anyway :p

    I think the best one's got to be an MEP paying for a fine with taxpayer's money for traveling without a ticket, !!!!!!!

    I imagine they would all become either staunch Nationalists or Socialists if they were paid minimum wage!

    Hmm, had heard in Media that Theresa May my local MP had been a relatively modest claimer, now I see £118,147 there. A bit depressing really.

    That is moderate considering what most of them claim.:p

    You are correct, per today's Telegraph Theresa May is almost THE most modest claimer. Now, she represents Maidenhead which is excellently connected to London via fast (in theory 21 minutes journey time) and frequent trains. So the need to claim around £4k for a mortgage on her 2nd home in London? It's justified if an MP needs to avoid the Real Life of commuting, I suppose.
