Expenses

Glad to see the reactionary Mail having a go at the MPs expenses issue. In the Indy last week there was a chart on who was the most expensive Mp and to which party they belong to. I may have been mistaken but it seemed to me that Labour MPs had the most to lose if tighter regs came into play. Interestingly the Tories have least to lose as they are mostly made up of f*cking millionaires anyway. The Mail link interestingly pictures two Tories, one of whom is Eric Pickles who was ripped to pieces on Question time the other week for his slime trail. Link is on the BBC site if you want to see the embarrassed leading Tory squirm.

The Mail has another expose about a leading Tory Unionist having a 'good life with his wife.

Expect low turnouts at the next election.

Meanwhile in Southampton Museum staff are on strike over the Tories plan to cut services ie employees terms and conditions. The Tories reckon it will make an annual saving of £15'000 a year. Well if the 26 Tories on the Council each gave less than a thousand pound a year of their expenses back they wouldn't have to do this!!
