several mps are claiming expenses for a second home then selling the second home and pocketing the cash most recent one being mr Bercow who pocketed £540k .This is surely fraud so why isn't their a police station inside Westminster anyone caught fiddlingbe done for fraud and jailed for 6 years I think is reasonable punishment
Once the six-year sentence has been served, they should be immediately executed. Fair's fair, I say. John Bercow should just be executed. Immediately. Fraud or not.
Jonno im getting a complaint about the number of threads you are creating. Can you calm it down a bit please.
Buy a house worth £200k, become an MP and legitimately claim expenses, sell house which during the time you are an MP has increased in value to £500k but pay back the £300k difference because you were able to claim expenses while doing your job? Doesn't make sense to me. It isn't fraud, MP's are not breaking any laws making money out of house price increases. There will be a lot of people who think MP's shouldn't profit for some sort of moral issues but they'd complain about anything MP's do. MP's are allowed to have a constituency home and one closer to London and are entitled to claim expenses on both. Nowt wrong with that either.
Where's the bloody dislike button ? Shame on you brb ! I thought this was General Chat. At least Jonno's trying to stimulate some discussion - and some of the subjects are 'serious'. The 'style' that Jonno uses may be a little unconventional - but shouldn''t be too taxing for most in GC. Whilst I rarely contribute to his threads - I try to refrain from calling him unkind names, or inviting him to die. Carry on, Jonno !
