A whole new chapter on the MPs expenses has just opened up.
Final 'final' nail in the coffin for Gordy?

Nail in the coffin? I'm gonna chuck him out of the thing to weigh it in for scrap if it gets many more in.

Slight problems occur when politicians are watching other politicians backs, oh sorry, overseeing their spending. Who would pay for my second home if I got a job in that London?

And the telegraph witholding any Tory expenses until after maximum damage has passed ... now there's a surprise!

You cannot tell me that if you were in Gordy's shoes that you would not employ someone you can trust not to air your dirty laundry in public (ie your brother) over some stranger who may or may not have a grudge against the govt. or yourself?
And to be honest, £6k over nearly two years, is not that much for cleaning services! Hell, I'd pay that...it'd get me more time on the bike than with a fecking hoover.
As for some of the other MP's expenses...well, thats for another forum

It's the fact that all of these were going to be made public without any of the incriminating details. The fact that Alistair Darling has alternated his 'second home' four times (!) to make repairs to both of his properties over the years. The fact that the abuse is so so widespread, so commonly known, and that not a SINGLE MP has braved stepping forward to explain the seriousness of this situation. Boot the lot of these self-serving pieces of **** out; Tory & Labour.

I do find it somewhat ironic though; that the only qualification Mr Darling has in the world of finance, is how to cheat the expenses system so successfully (yes our Chancellor is a solicitor). Is it any wonder they've lead us in to this situation when all of their days were taken thinking-up ways to 'cheat' the system?
