    The new MPs are revolting already about expenses.

    My God, how long have they been in office? Already they are whining about being treated like benefits claimants because they can no longer syphon off whatever they like from the taxpayer. Is this why they really chose a career in politics I wonder? Read the article here.

    Re: The new MPs are revolting already about expenses.

    It would appear that the 'gentlemen' have taken lessons from their American cousins in Washington and the individual states. Funny, did you hear any complaints during the election run up? No? I thought not. Neither do you hear an American pol talking up a pay raise during election year. Politicians, in general, are like Pavlov's dogs, when the election is over they start salivating for whatever they can get.
    I wonder why the things that should be so simple, so natural... like loving someone and letting them see into your heart... should require so much courage?
