Mike1222,
you may have missed a previous entry by pawnbroker who submitted an obnoxious and totally irrelevant attack on you. what you're reading is VHG's reply.Pawnbrokers entry and subsequent reply to VHG has been removed.
Why any MP living in the Greater London and surrounding areas needs 'second home' payments is beyond me. If this is legal under present Parliamentary legislation, the regulations should be changed immediately to restore some semblance of public confidence in the system.
As the man himself is quoted as saying - he's done nothing wrong.
That's almost certainly true.
The trouble is, we all know the rules are pathetic and we all wish that MPs had roughtly the same deal as the majority of us get. That doesn't include making shed loads of readies tax-free from expenses.
When one is in a leadership position, one has to demonstrate by actions that align to one's words. I find it incredible that MPs don't appreciate this.
