The saga of MPs expenses rumbles on with one former minister being made to apologise to Parliament about his expense account and another being told to repay over £63,000. Wow!
In a sense, these instances are just a diversion from the main message which seems to be coming out of Parliament. This is that MPs are said to be objecting to new expense rules being imposed on them without their being able to vote on them.
Ignoring the fact that no employee in the normal world gets the opportunity to ‘vote’ on what their pay and expenses should be, it seems to me that MPs just haven’t got the message that we in the real world think that too many of them have had their snouts in the trough and, in any event, have access to far too many expenses.
MPs should get real and join the real world that the rest of us live in!
