http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8502026.stmIf they don't stop this from happening all the party leaders should be sacked. Its a disgrace.

Apparently that law is only in place to stop people being sues for anything they say in the House Of Commons. There is no way it should be used to prevent fraud prosecutions. These guys are just low life scum.

I doubt that you'll hear much of an argument against that statement.

64k basic salary plus many valid expenses. Why on Earth did they need any more?
I would love to see a timesheet for some MPs, afterall they are working for me.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Actually that is an insult to scum, both the pond life and the Rab C Nesbitt scum.  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

LMAO it would be a total work of fiction. To get a days pay they only have to arrive and then depart it can be within 2 or minutes of each other.  Fair comment

So their defence is that they can break the law with impunity as they are an MP?
I think not.

I truly hope that is proved to be the case.

The obvious solution is for their constituents to boot them out at the next election then prosecute them.

But then they get the huge golden handshakes to help them resettle in the community .............. ( about £60k I believe )

Actually I can support the idea of resettlement grants if you lose your seat but if you retire and/or are above pension age then why? It is should also be scaled so that it falls the closer you are to pension age. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Exactly. Plus if they are knowing they are retiring they have up to 4 years to plan for the event. More than most. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Watching the news now...amused that David Sh**face was holding a press conference, sniping at Labour when HE actually voted against the harsh reforms he is suggesting. What a useless hypocritical waste of space.
