    Daniel Kawcynzski, MP for Shrewsbury, already under investigation for begging for a paid job from the Saudis because ‘I have to pay school fees’, claimed £22,000 of taxpayers money last year for Polish lessons. He was born in Warsaw, and told his local paper in March 2019 that he is a ‘fluent Polish speaker’. He is not responding to calls and texts asking him to explain this odd contradiction.

    Maybe the calls & texts were in Latvian and he hasn’t learned that one yet?

    Disgraceful if true. Though it's not only Tories that fiddle expenses

    So are you saying everything they are saying are lies? Say for instance they are able to provide evidence and back up even just some of what is quoted in that article? What then?

    If they provide irrefutable or at least very persuasive evidence, fine, but they're starting from a poor place.

    It’s just plain old fashioned fraud, isn’t it? If you did this sort of stuff in the corporate world you’d be out on your ear. We deserve better.

    I don’t think half of the stuff such as the cost of the plane paint job is even being disputed, most of the stuff on there isn’t exactly new news, all this lot seems to have done is centralise the reported expenditure in one document

    What the Shrewsbury MP is accused of might be fraud if true. Though it sounds a bit too naive if he recorded it properly. But expenses generally seem to be getting increasingly lavish, presumably to overcome the salary cap, which of course does not generally apply in the corporate world.

    Is there some kind of rule about which threads you're allowed to post on? I'd better get some moronic word association posts in.

    That’ll be because I was with family during the game, with the whole covid situation it was the first real opportunity we were able to get together as a family since the old man was discharged from hospital. I thought that was slightly more important than the game today. Only just got round to watching the highlights this morning.
