£23,000 Grant to hide what they claim from the public!!??

Its a bloody disgrace and it makes no difference which party you are aligned with - this is a general 'spend the taxpayers money on what we like' attitude.

However, pigs with noses in troughs is not only for MPs ..... it goes on in Councils, schools and hospitals - everyone is grabbing our money and not giving much back for it!

Why the hell should they get those expenses anyway-out of our taxes of course. The £23K bit is ideal for them, they can just claim the lot and we would never know what they spent it on!

Its time there was a very big shake up amonst these theiving liars!

...so the same people that want to log all of your phone calls and every website that you visit and every e-mail that you send and track your vehicle movements 24 by 7 and hand out ration books to limit and monitor your carbon usage and regularly lose confidential information from government departments and allow the DVLA to hand out your address to criminal clampers and look likely to send the next census database to America for processing where aspects of your lifestyle (probably including salary and sexual preferences) can be studied by the NSA - don't want the taxpayer who funds their obscene salaries and pensions to know what potential expense fiddles they are getting up to (which would almost certainly be classified as a benefit in kind and thus taxable - if you were a mere voter!).

And what makes it worse is that Michael Martin is being paid by us (and claiming expenses) whilst he fights to maintain this unjust "system"!

...and that is before mentioning ID cards that ultimately will track every transaction that you make (from drawing money out of an ATM to filling up with fuel or catching a bus) and being legally required to get a certificate if you make changes to the wiring in your own house or getting another certificate if you replace your windows and having to let a snoop who could potentially have a criminal record inspect your lightbulbs before you can sell your house - and you can't even pop down to parliament on the spur of the moment to complain otherwise you will be arrested for holding an illegal protest within two thirds of a mile (i refuse to use km, which is another thing being forced on us) of the trough!!!!

Aaaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhh
