MP's expenses

I'm not going to wade too deeply into the current controversy surrounding MP's expenses.

But I've heard/read what they have said and those who have repaid money have said the problem was down to sloppy accounting, a genuine mistake etc...

The thing that really annoys me is that none of us simple folk would get away with those excuses. You mean I didn't pay my council tax bill, oh silly me i forgot but now you caught me I'll pay up, yeah and get lobbed with a whopping great fine to accompany it.

When they were trying to kick the speaker out there was comments like he must go to restore trust in parliment; I don't give two hoots about the bloody speaker, it's you lot who claimed the money we should kick out; or better still slap them with some community service, you can pay back that three grand by sweeping the roads for two months!

Who ever said that the desire to be an MP should get you shot was dam right! you bunch of hypercritical thieves the lot of you.

and have a nice day :)

Jess.
