Why No MP in the Commons Halted the Housing Bubble

Telegraph: MP paid his brother for 400-mile trip to lay flooring

"Gwyn Prosser, paid his brother from his taxpayer-funded expenses to carry out work on his London flat - despite the fact that he lived almost 200 miles away. The same year, Gwyn Prosser, the MP for Dover and Deal, also made claims totalling £2,782 for work at another flat he owned in London, even though it had not been his designated second home for three years and he was renting it out". "He changed his second home designation to the new flat, but in March 2006 Mr Prosser attempted to recoup the costs of work on his first flat three years previously", etc.,etc. "The claims will raise concerns over the way in which some MPs used second home allowances to build up property portfolios".

Well I will not be voting for him on Thursday in our local Dover by-elections.

This news has just come out at the right time. I have a good mind to print some banners and stand outside the polling office so everyone who is voting knows about this.

dead right taffee.

Politicians and alike are putting personal circumstances above the welfare of the country and it's tax paying citizens. We need a system based on ethics, morals and common sense, NOT for the benefit of those at the top who lie cheat and do nothing but take from the people of the country.

After all that's going on, you have to ask yourself, why should I pay TAX ?

Would you keep putting money into a pension if you knew the fund was corrupt?

Revolt, stand up and be counted. Lets bring these parasites down !!

Alistair Darling is being shunted aside to make way for Ed Balls to be Chancellor.

Ed Balls. The biggest moron in politics right now as Chancellor.
