Jacqui Smith's expense's claim

[FairMidden]

Here

Apparently her husband got "an ear-bashing"

They make up their own bloody rules fairlady

Anyone fancy organising a rally past Westminster?

I think it's a phone/broadband/tv package with virgin, so what she is really claiming for is the phone/broadband part of it, which I do think is a legitimite claim. What I don't really understand is that this will be a fixed amount each month, so there is obviously no one checking the expense claims.

rhubs...couldn't even afford to go to blardy london right now....

As Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith has unveiled proposals for new legislation which will make anyone who buys sex or other erotic services from someone who is "controlled for another person's gain" eligible to be fined. This could include DVDs.

So she is proposing legislation which might well end up fining people like her husband.

Therefore it was justifiable for the papers to bring up the question of porn videos.

Rhubarb I don't think you're allowed near Westminister to rally any more under the anti terrorism laws, I'm more scarred of the politicians than any bloody terrorist threats.

I am personally sick to the back teeth of having parliamentary conduct on expenses that would shame even the Italian parliament.

Why can't they have normal expense claims policies - like every other major organisation in this country? Every professional organisation I have worked for would disallow porn movies as a legitimate expense claim.

And as for bathroom plugs? Time to ban all this rubbish and make them stay in hotels midweek. Must be a cash saving given the amounts our lot claim on expenses.

I quite liked that idea of building them their own appartnment block at westminster and than their home, whereever that might be would be their home.....and no claiming for 2 homes and the kinda crap this lot pulled....

Stick them in the bloody ETAP hotel midweek. £29 a room per night.

What makes them think that we should pay their bloody TV bill????

By dilemma456 - She had around the clock security at her sisters house where she claimed she spent her few hours a week under stair that cost £2 million I believe and all the press seem to know exactly where they all live.

It would be really easy to find her house at her constituency in Redditch. It's my home town and there could only be a couple of streets it is on.
I have more than a fair idea of where it is.
Surprised that they keep filming outside of it really.

I am rubbing my hands with fecking glee at the prospect of voting the grasping cow out.

Tell you what I do find amusing - her dimwitted husband wrote letters to the local paper extolling the joys of ID cards, because 'What have you got to hide? etc'.

Oh, the irony is just delicious.

no more a risk than any other public building though surely? and less expensive even if you include security than £24k each a year or double if they're married to an MP too
