Pragmatopian Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/7957555.stm Employment minister Tony McNulty has said he did nothing wrong by claiming second-home expenses on a London house where his parents live. He received allowances worth thousands of pounds for the property in his Harrow East constituency, which is eight miles from his main home. He added that Mr McNulty had complied with the rules on second homes for MPs from outside inner London. That would suggest to me that the rules are wrong.

Largely correct, but if we are talking about Labour politicians, the corruption has filtered UP. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This isn't a new thing, it's been going on since they started being allowed claims. These people have more front than the bus depot, they're the worst kind of 'dole scroungers' & non-working classes, some rich, none poor. £24K for housing, on top of a salary/pension and with other allowances freely claimable a career in politics is lucrative - look at all the scrounging scum the IOM has elected (past tense ofc....) I've been 'happy with my lot' for as long as I can remember, it's great, I do not suffer jealousy (unless it is over a Shri concert I didn't go to) nor do I ever want for material items, I nicked this life style from my friend whom is also 'happy with his lot'. We were only saying the other day how society is changing a little, it's not cool to be mega rich anymore, people KNOW you didn't get mega rich by being nice. The world will be fine when people sort out their greed issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
