I have always said that I will never come to terms with the evil that Margaret Thatcher perpetrated on British society but this lot, spawned by the greed of Blair, are now coming close to that. For at least the next two generations at least, New Labour will be seen as the party best represented by a picture of snouts in troughs. Tales of buying kit-kats, dog food, tampons, repairs to swimming pools, and porn, all on expenses, are humiliating enough but the latest wave of this vulgar venality defending their claims are sickening beyond belief.
But as said before by someone on here, surely the problem of MP's finances is easy to solve. Their pay goes up another £10,000 and gets independently reviewed. Their accommodation is purpose-built, state-owned, secure, one-bedroom flats. They only get economy class travel expenses. All their research and administration is supplied and funded from a central pool – which is recruited by merit and not family connection. Simple
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted
