REPLACE MPS

17.07.08, 10:32pm

the mps in this country are fast becoming a burden on the british tax payer ,political partys and mps are no different to highwaymen .face the fact you have f****d up the country ,yet you still want your bag of silver ,you are nothing but judases ,and you have shafted the good old british tax payer in to poverty .very soon it will only be the rich that drive cars and be able to heat there homes etc ,congestion charges will be the final nail for a lot of car drivers .you have failed the british public on law and order ,with most of us frightened to go out ,or send our children to school.you have filled our country up with foreign crimminals and parrasites,you have put the muslim faith before christiain belief and british values .our grandfathers went to war and many did not return to fight for our freedom and mps have taken it away from us .its time the british public replaced all political partys with independants and turn westminster gas works in to something useful.

WHO FURNISHES THEIR HOME EVERY YEAR?

17.07.08, 3:34pm

Nobody - not even MPs, so why then is it that they claim furnishing expenses annually? Simple - They furnish it the first year and trouser 24,00 smackers every year thereafter.
Now who else has a job like that?

A SUGGESTION...

17.07.08, 1:40pm

Why not provide MPs with fully furnished state-owned accomodation within easy striking distance of the House of Commons. When the MP loses his seat, he moves out. He will not be homeless because he will have still have his permanent home in his contituency.

The same solution could be applied to staffing. let the state provide a fixed number of public employees to staff the member's Westminster and consituency offices.

Brilliant, even though I say it myself!

NOTHING BUT A SCAM

17.07.08, 10:46am

So the taxpayer pays the mortgage but the MP ends up owning the house. This may be legal according to MP imposed parliamentary rules but to anyone else it's nothing else but a scam.

SHAMELESS

When you hear of a person claiming benefits that perhaps shouldn't - my advice is DON'T SHOP THEM.
This lousy system must be stopped higher up before any Joe Blogs is shopped in my book.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER ...

17.07.08, 7:45am

so, the scavenging vultures flock to protect their kill; the unprotected British tax-payer!

Not satisfied with turning our home into a third world, animalistic, violent, drug-ridden hell-hole that we do not recognise; not content with ruining our economy, destroying our culture while praising others,forcing sex education and islam on our children, and branding them racist for saying "yuk"

The stinking predators now circle, closing ranks, bloated on the last remaining booty they can sqeeze out of the ever open public purse in it's dying day, to feather their own nests!

No matter that our young have no education nor future; no matter our ill have filth and delay instead of care; no matter our old are ignored ....

The vultures are cleaning up; the three greatest flocks of bare-faced lying scum this land has ever seen has just voted for one last orgy before the death throes of it's captive prey, the British working man and woman!

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

17.07.08, 6:38am

I actually believe that someday the public will get VALUE out of these scrounging MP's and instead of take,take, and more take they will have to give something back.
We all know NuLabour has had it and is waiting to move over for the Tories and so we shouldn't be surprised at ANYTHING they try in theiir last two years of office.
Thank God they are on the way out!

THE IKEA FIDDLE

17.07.08, 4:26am

Well the Labour MP's have shown every one what a shabby money grabbing lot they are. They are suppose to be the working mans government. That theory has been blown apart due to their vote in the house of hypocrites.
I call for a drastic reform to our democracy, where upon the public in certain circumstances can disolve parliament if we feel our country is not being served properly, and our social fabric is being threatened. The labour party are/ have destroyed Britain, and they are grabbing as much money as they can before they are kicked out.
