MP's Obscene Extras

Published: Friday July 4,2008 by rafa232

This is further proof that MP's treat us all with absolute contemp.
Their "so called" expenses are, as they well know, more than the average family have to live on, in fact it is far more than my wife and I have to live on and probably two or three times more than quite a few pensioners have to live on.
For what they are worth, they should be receiving the £24k as salary and forfeit the mouth watering salaries at present being paid aswell and with no extras.
It is assumed that they are paying income tax and NHI on all these extras they are creaming off, or have they voted that this should be exempt?
IF YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB, YOU SHOULD RECEIVE A GOOD SALARY, SADLY OUR MP's ARE NOT DOING THE FIRST, BUT ARE HELPING THEMSELVES TO THE SECOND, TIME FOR THIS TO END.
