MPs Expenses Outrage

MP's expenses must not be excessive and must be "wholly and necessarily incurred for the purpose of performing their parliamentary duties."

That’s a quaint phrase that HM Revenue and Customs (Inland Revenue) have twisted countless times to screw hard working people out of their hard earned cash disallowing expenditure as not "wholly and necessarily incurred" therefore increasing taxable income and taxes.... so that HM Government can screw us even more by claiming for dog food, horse crap, adult movies for their husbands and home improvements. Oh, but of course its not improvements....they are not allowed, so lets just lie and call them repairs (so we can increase the sale price).

Of course they all jump on the cross party band wagon and like limp fish stand in front of a camera and say "I haven't broken any rules....." Do me a favour....

They have screwed us mercilessly and laughed all the way (tax free....its expenses not income) to the bank.

What is so bad is that the really dodgy stuff has been allowed... a few tellings off, a few no you cant claim that's along the way but generally its been a case of "roll up guys.... grab a handful of cash but don't tell the public..." There's been a lot of "wholly and necessarily" that by any stretch of the imagination (and certainly by HM Revenue and Customs interpretation) are total and utter [unprintable.... spherical objects that dangle].

Don't mention the over claims.... what the hell has happened to the audit stage? No accountant worth their salt should let this all through....because they would be in danger of being struck off for malpractice (excommunicated from the profession), things like claiming council tax you never paid... or claiming the plumbing twice.

I'm not going to mention all the flipping... flipping nuisances the lot of them.

This government has had over 10 years to fix this... They came in on a wave of righteous indignation, saying they would be whiter than white and no more sleaze... Trouble is when it came to the gravy train, the fabled pot at the end of the rainbow, the cash machine spewing out free cash like lots of tiny Jonah's they didn't change anything because as true Socialists (yeh right!) they stuffed their pockets and mattresses (several in some cases).

And why is this coming to light? Because of their own freedom of information legislation... which they shamelessly tried to fix to exclude the publication of their own expenses because they knew all that horse crap would hit the fan... and they want to stitch someone up for leaking the information.... well MPs you got a leak...call a plumber... but you can only claim once and only if "wholly and necessarily".....

If anyone else had even tried to claim some of what they have... we would be out of work and possibly facing prosecution for fraud (obtaining money by deception).....Oh how clumsy of me.... they weren't being deceptive...."I was just following the rules, honest guv"...

Honest guv? Give us an honest government....... sack the lot and start again.
