Will these greedy blighters never stop?
Being obliged to maintain a second home is an expensive business and I have no problem at all with MPs claiming necessary and reasonable costs.
Note the words `necessary` and `reasonable`.
For instance, it is neither necessary nor reasonable to buy very luxurious ,therefore very expensive, bedding and other household stuff at public expense. Perfectly comfortable and good quality stuff can be had for a lot less.
Nor is it necessary for the taxpayer to buy MP`s soap! If we didn`t pay for it, would they not wash?
And why hugely expensive Sky contracts? After all it`s your second home, so you`re not going to be there much are you?
Ah! But I`m forgetting! Many MPs are `doing a runner` soon aren`t they? So their second homes will likely `flip` and become their luxurious, newly furnished, well (and expensively) equipped main homes, again.
And guess who paid for quite a bit of it?
You don`t need more than one guess do you?
No wonder our (Honourable?) Members of Parliament are held in such low esteem by most and contempt by many.
Just my opinion folks, so it won`t count cos I`m only a taxpaying voter.

Your site and posts are very interesting to read. Love how you have everything arranged. Keep up the good work. I like it.
