Should She Be A Dame?

[lynbrown]

I see Margaret Beckett has been honoured. Has everyone forgotten that she claimed for floral hanging baskets as her parliamentary expenses? I havent.

[DaisyNonna]

no

[starone]

Seconded, definitely not.

[dotty.]

where was she hanging the baskets? a publican can claim for baskets outside his pub

[baza]

hanging from her caravan

[lynbrown]

She was hanging them at home, not the caravan, although I expect we paid for that too, one way or another.

[Hopkirk]

Floral hanging baskets are pretty small beer compared with others.

Don't forget David Cameron claimed for pruning his wisteria.

[Sam1960]

not forgotten Lyn,

[baza]

why do politicians want to abolish the lords when in power, yet, when past their sell by date can't wait to become lords etc.

[gulliver1]

DOTTY ,Publicans do not claim full expenses for hanging baskets ,just the tax relief ,Beckett and the other legal robbers claim the full expense

//Should She Be A Dame?//

Is she doing panto?

[aelmpvw]

not going to be cinders is she?

[anotheoldgit]

It's all one big pantomime, so why not?

[emmie]

naomi, very good, and no she shouldn't

[Mrsspagnoli57]

Why not? The question for me would be 'Should he be a Sir?' re Bradley Wiggins.

When was the last time an MP got a CBE or MBE. They seem to be showered with knighthoods or Dames as though their job warrants the highest honour.
