Sack them!

Friday, 8 May 2009 ‡ 20:18

How the hell can anyone justify claiming for a £3,100 40" Sony TV, £12,400 for a new kitchen and bathroom and the best one so far Tory MP Greg Barker bought a property in Chelsea for £480,000 in November 2004, claiming £15,875 for stamp duty and other purchase costs, then claimed a further £27,928 in mortgage interest payments over the next two years. He then sold the flat for £800,000 in February 2007, making him a total profit of over £360,000.

Who the hell signs off these expense forms? I don't want the MP's to pay the money back, i want them sacked. Thousands of people have lost their jobs due to the greed of the heads of banks, which the government have decided to bail out with tax payers money, are struggling to find work. Maybe these people should become MP's, I am sure the majority of those unemployed are far more intelligent, have higher IQ's and greater morals than a majority of current MP's.

Anybody caught fraudulently claiming expenses at work would be immediately and instantly sacked! So why the fucking hell hasn't any of the MP's got the sack. They are in a position of trust, they are meant to set an example, they are supposed to support the people, we should trust them.

They are all coming out of the woodwork now, claiming they made a mistake and are "distraught and heartbroken" at the fact that they did not realise their bank balance did not match their wage slip... do they get a wage slip?
