expenses!

OH MY GOD!!

How can MPs be allowed to claim MORE expenses?! If they were paid minimum wage or something then I could understand! If they want to be in politics, on stupid salaries, they should be prepared to cover their own expenses!

I can hardly see any average job offering expenses for staff and a second house?!! If they need to be in London, surely they should just be put up in a hotel for a night or two? Travelodge doesn't cost that much!

It annoys me that some men in suits spending the day shouting at each other and get paid more than a disabled person or a young family on benefits do in a week.

Seriously, this country is on the brink of collapse.  Politicians think that people who live on benefits are a 'drain' on society.  It is society's fault that they are as they are! The education and/or social work systems have failed them at some point in their childhood. Because they do not have a piece of paper to say they can do something means they will, quite possibly, be discouraged to apply for jobs.  Most employers, I think, would much rather hire the person with at least a few school qualifications than the one with none and no work history!
