Let's halve the number of MPs and double their pay, and at the same time make the punishments for breaking rules regarding expenses very harsh and the issue of expenses totally transparent. <BR/><BR/>I'm not saying that no MP would ever cheat the system again, but ut would make it much more difficult and it would be easier to attract a higher calibre of individual to politics.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I understand that people come on this site to corruption in politics unearthed, but the sheer hatred for MPs expressed by some people on here only makes them look like bigger idiots than they think MPs are. May I suggest that if you want to live in a country without MPs you go and live in a dictatorship. You won't be able to express your extremely constructive views on blogs anymore of course, but I'm sure that's a small price to pay for being rid of parliamentary democracy.Me vs Maradona vs Elvishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15168821199391316159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-2956874305915057782008-04-03T19:50:00.000+01:002008-04-03T19:50:00.000+01:00Wow, lesbian rape. How do they do that then ? Is it with dildos or do they get a bloke in to help, do the raping part, one of Dave and Boris's Bullingham chaps, perhaps. Seems very exotic at Oxbridge.

I do recall some of the fellows' dinners and the ensuing joyful renderings of such timeless classics as "Ich hat ein kamerad" and "Horst Wessel Lied" (funny, how I never recall them singing any British songs) with a number of fellows (no names mentioned chaps) wistfully raising their right hands in remembrance of authoritarian times long gone. Certainly there must have been an amount of "the nameless love" exchanges at Peterhouse but I'm pretty sure that there was not much more and undoubtedly certainly less than you might find at certain other well-known Cambridge and Oxford colleges. <BR/><BR/>I do, for example, very clearly recall a number of very public scandals involving lesbian rape allegations at Newnham in times past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-66995741603107283922008-04-03T18:44:00.000+01:002008-04-03T18:44:00.000+01:00In the meanwhile, what about the mortgages and furnishings for the second house/flat? <BR/><BR/>Shouldn't the taxpayer receive some of the 'profit' made on a second home once the MP resigns or loses his or her seat?<BR/><BR/>Shouldn't we end up with a warehouse full of second hand John Lewis furniture and gadgets which can be reused for incoming MPs?<BR/><BR/>If not then surely the MPs have received taxable benefits rather than expenses?DiscoveredJoyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05300239909689336895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-38952151882480695302008-04-03T17:45:00.000+01:002008-04-03T17:45:00.000+01:00You are right about Peterhouse Coll - most of the dons were 'suspect'.

All of these greedy fuckpig cocksucking thieving shitbag hypocrites owe their enrichment to their election to the house and their subsequent brazen neglect and abandonment of their duties in favour of sinecures more lucrative; showing up when it suits them.
