General Chat

I only moved here five weeks ago, but have made sure I'm registered to vote, with the express intention of spoiling my ballot paper!

ths needs to be posted again and again and everyone join in from their own ountries

There will be a rapid deterioration in the quality of life here in the UK if we allow the administration of our country to fall into the hands of rascals who ground out every possible penny from the poor with reckless irreverence.

Our current batch of ineffectual politicians are suffering from the double-headed monster - money & media. The proposed removal of so many sitting politicians leaves the field open to radical leadership. The odour of a dying democracy is ever pervading.

Yep if anything like what happenedin Norway when our lot in the Norwegian Parliament got done for claiming too much pension thy at worst got a telling off and allowed to pay it back. This included a few well known international fgures But a single mother who'dclaimed too much Social Security and has paid it back was sent to prison for thirty days
Its the same he whole world over
Its the rich that gets the pleasure
and the poor that gets the blame

you need lots of flowers to hide the smell when your snout and trotters are buried in the trough. Until its sorted out ad proper rules set down it wouldnt matter which party got n it would be to busy sticking it snout into the Westminster trough to care about anything else
Worst is it seems to occur in every country and every political system

Virtue has different definitions in every age. Why has this country produced so many people of supposed intellect without morals & ability without scruples? Goodness knows where honour has vanished to.

Is it me thats doing something wrong ?? I go to work ,like alot of us do ,pay bills etc buy food ,and use my salary ,if the M Ps are claimimg all this on expenses ,what do they do with their salary ? I dont understand why we are paying out for everything and paying them thousands of pounds for the priveledge It beats me ,,,,sorry just my gripe

Jean - it was just a general comment, if we have an independent candidate - may vote for him/her.

Hi Liz47.....don't know whether your question was addressed to me personally but I'll reply anyway :)

Been a Socialist all my life but there is no-one to represent me now (:

This time I will vote for the Green Party more as a protest than anything else but in the hope that if enough people vote for the minority parties, or deliberately spoil their ballot papers, the fat cats will sit up and take notice.

Perhaps I should have worded my previous post differently and said...please, please, please attend the polling station and if you can't bring yourself to vote just put a line through your ballot paper.

Jean.

Who do you vote for - is there anyone left you would trust?
Liz

Please don't let all these shennigans put you off voting.

Please, please, please vote :)

Oh, Jill! You beat me to it!

Now, do you think I could make a claim for me cornflakes and toast, not to mention coffee, every morning? I mean, they ARE a necessity, for me to function .......

Oops, better stop there; some MP's might get ideas ......

Now be fair - he'd need a very large lavatory brush because obviously he is so very full of sh*t.

I think I'd OK that one ...

Jill

In terms of paying their dues, we could start by reminding our MPs of the difference between legal and moral responsibility.

Well I hope those MP's (2 I think) who were claiming for a mortage that had already been paid off, are done for fraud. If it were you or I we would be taken to court and dealt with accordingly. We are not above the law and neither or they, well at least, they shouldn't be!!

How big was the garden in a **flat** to warrant £500. ?boy he was robbed.

He must have had a spectacular display.bet he had them coming out his ears!!

Its an utter disgrace along wiith the rest of the leech MPs

Benefit cheats end up in court - usually. Anyone like to bet on any MP appearing before the beak?

It's a disgrace. They're only supposed to claim for what is relevant to their job. He should be made to pay it back with interest.

*gets tax return out and puts down expenses for busy lizzies, begonias, lobelia et al*

Oops, mustn't forget my labour charges for doing my own gardening!
