Im fed up with this. I couldnt give 2 hoots about what they have claimed for. If they hadnt claimed it, sdaly it wouldnt have gone to any good use, just paying for someone/something else we dont need!

Over a period of about eight months in 2005 to 2006, Ms Flint claimed for staying in hotels for an average of three nights a week.
Not bad for someone who also claimed for a second home... :rolleyes::mad:

There is a perfectly good arguement that says they were offered a gift horse and most took it.In all honesty how many of us wouldnt have ?
Im talking here about the legal claims rather than those few that seem fraudulent.

BB - I happen to agree with you, they were present an opportunity and those who stayed within the laws were only riding the stupid system. Those that broke the rules must've been mental and should be dealt with.

The thing that does annoy me is that these people have seemingly had the money to pay it back, so why not just pay in the first place.

Just had a flick through our MPs and I have to say that his seem to be fairly in order - was hoping for some juicy claims but nope...

Well it seems right to me, 2 houses yet still in hotels 3 - 4 nights a week? Slag isn't banned either.

My MP (Vauxhall, so basically in sight of the HoP) managed to rack up over £100,000 in expenses.

I am hoping that most of that was for staff......
