MP's Challange expenses

Loads of MP's are challanging the option they should repay their expenses cant belive how they have the cheek. With one saying:

"Mr Browne's case is more complicated. He told the BBC that he was being asked to repay £17,894 because of a "ridiculous application of the rules". "

For a start, why can't there be a sort of Council Estate for MPs, where they could live when on duty in London? Then they wouldn't have any reason to claim for second homes.
It could be situated somewhere challenging...Brixton, perhaps, where they could mingle with hoi polloi and develop insights into how other people live.

Not sure...but what could be better than if most of our MPs were to emigrate to Oz?

Wouldn't a tower block of MPs be an easy target for a bunch of crazy terrorists? :wink:

Simple solution to that, we THE TAX PAYER are building an Olympic village they can all live there once the Olympics are finished. No need to claim 2nd home allowance from the tax payer then, we've already paid it.

They could have used the old GLC building across the bridge. Common sense never goes hand in hand with politicians though.

Yes.

Then we could trample the survivors to death and piss on their corpses. :grin:

Better than X-Factor surely?? And a much bigger benefit to society. They wouldn't even be able to claim for platinum studded coffins....and all their relatives would be out of a job, and...and...and..let's do it. taz
