Answer 1 :
this situation is diabolical if any one else had been doing what most not all politicians are doing this is actually benefit fraud and if any normal member of the public did the same thing they would be sent to prison so why haven't they been i think that the policy of slap there wrists and make them say sorry is just abysmal they should be sent straight to prison with everyone else and aside from my tirade against the situation other members of the cabinet can claim almost anything they want and it has gone on for way to long and needs to be stopped. if anyone is in doubt the reason they give themselves for stealing all this money is that they are allowed to claim money for renting or buying a house in london near the place of work there also allowed to claim basic necessities however claiming for the weekly shop a new tv and sky is not real needed to survive another problem is house swapping this is where they claim they live in the house they got for free full time sell it keep the money then move back into there Original house its not right when people cant be supplied drugs on the nhs because theres not enough money and the politicians supposed to be managing this problem and many like it in the country are soaking tax payers money frankly its a disgrace
Answer 2 :
Nice rant Robert :)
Answer 3 :
Given the current rules, pretty much anything, apparently. Bob. Ranting.
Answer 4 :
Is there anything left in this fiasco that surprises you? Its quite obvious that these MP's have an open cheque book,which has shown what a greedy bunch of individuals they really are. I am so pleased that the whole matter on expenses has been brought into the public domain.
Answer 5 :
The thing is about all this is that if you or I or any other man in the street had been found by the Inland Revenue to have been fiddling tax in a particular year then they have the right to go back 6 more years (so 7 in total) to investigate further. Thes MPs are only being investigated for 4 years...so God knows what unlawful claims will have gone undetected
Answer 6 :
Like everything else as time passes the claims fiasco will be forgotten about.Of course the MPs are crooks and their expenses exceed their salaries.All the hot air about sacking offenders is rubbish as their wouldst be any MPs left.No doubt criminal action should be taken against many of them on the grounds of misappropriations of Public Funds,will it happen, Most unlikely.
