Are MPs just con artists now?

Sneaky Bastard much?

"Mr Mackay, the MP for Bracknell in Berkshire, is the first person to lose his job over the MPs’ expenses scandal.

He is married to Julie Kirkbride, who represents Bromsgrove in Worcestershire.

Mr Mackay has used his second homes allowance to claim more than £1,000 a month in mortgage interest payments on their joint flat near Westminster.

However, his wife used her Additional Costs Allowance to claim over £900 a month on paying off the home loan for their family home near her constituency.

This means they effectively had no main home but two second homes – and were using public funds to pay for both of them."

I bet they thought that was a real clever scam they had going. Thank fuck he has resigned.

Cunt.



Update: Relating this to my other post about how everything they've done are just silly little mistakes; Morley has referred to this as an 'anomaly'. If you say so...

Thing is this hoon is still an MP, not a fancy aide to Dave any more and as an MP still a hog.

Sack the sodding lot of them and start again.

This is so very true... I just don't understand how anyone can take this as an anomaly now... every sodding MP and every fucking minister is caught up in this. Note, the expenses are only for this year. The ones being released in July are only up until 2004 (I think?) when they had a "reform". If this is them reformed, what the fuck were they like before???
