MPs handed more than £1m in expenses in just eight weeks after whining they were being treated like 'benefits claimants' | Mail Online

Grasping MPs have pocketed more than £1million in the last eight weeks as the expenses watchdog tries to silence their complaints about the new system. MPs are in revolt over the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which they claim is treating them like 'benefits claimants'.
Yesterday IPSA revealed that it is receiving more than 900 calls and emails from MPs and their staff every week, the vast majority of which are understood to be complaints and demands for cash.

Those nasty, o'rrible, workshy pelbs swarming round the benefits office demanding their free cash.

No mention of all that money spent on vilifying those benefits claimants who are the real casualties of successive governments financial mismanagement, compared to the paltry amount spent on vilifying those guilty of Tax Evasion, but then, one demonises those you despise and wish to scap-goat, but merely criticise your peers.

'The poor are always with us' last said around 2000 years ago, which goes to show that the reasons for poverty remain.

Too much money, power and resources in the hands of too few.
