MP’s Expenses


So the axe is finally falling on the political piggies who have all had their noses in the trough.

MP Eric Illsley is under pressure to stand down after admitting he fraudulently claimed more than £14,000 in parliamentary expenses. And stand down he should.

Being an MP has proven to be a “nice little earner” for the many that have succumbed to the lure of easy loot. Well now the genie is out of the bottle and we the public have seen you for what you are.  We have seen the sorts of things that MPs have claimed for. Ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous.

So now it’s time to face the consequences and if that means that you go to jail or even lose you political career then so be it.

You won’t find me shedding any tears.
