I think Brown should repay the money through community servicing. I'd love for him to pick up £12k worth of dog-poop!

Thing is, they can all find the moment to pay it back. If they have the money just lying about like that, why do they need more?

Best way to limit it is to limit it to the same value as housing benefit. That is substantially less than what many of them are claiming.

What, you mean for MP's to live by the rules they impose on other people? It'll never happen.

It would be fair, though they will never agree as you say. It needs another scandal for things to change. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Thankfully, Nick Clegg has raised the real issue that a lot of the MPs are trying to hide in the smoke screen of being angry.
He as asked that the audit be extended to property, afterall this is where all the real expenses rip off occurred.
