But they are paid (well) for it. They are not voluntary workers, they are not doing the jobs free of charge. And they are paid - or rather they pay themselves - with public money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-58534049446881534812009-06-30T19:06:53.631+01:002009-06-30T19:06:53.631+01:00So I've heard.

Many MPs do, but he is OUR MP and accountable to us (those in North Thanet that is). He refuses to say how much of the £80,000 office expenses he claims goes to her and therefore into their household coffers. He refuses to say whether she ever competed for the job (as his "Parliamentary Director").<br /><br />He has only started to post his expenses on his website since he stopped claiming almost the full £20,000 for his second London home. He has, therefore, only posted the details since they have looked better.<br /><br />He has this second home, but why can't he commute to London daily like many of his constituents (including me) do?<br /><br />As for doing a good job, there are many who do not feel he does. There are many who have experienced his rudeness and his dinosaur-like far-right views on so many social issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-32606182222382981432009-06-30T17:23:56.285+01:002009-06-30T17:23:56.285+01:00Mr Anon, 4:04.

Surely it's only fair that our MP's, who have to travel up to London remember, get a reasonable and comfortable second home, complete with a decent television and nice pictures on the wall?
