iansheff Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 While it does appear wrong, perhaps we should abolish the perk of "'Language instruction" - after all he's used his perk that he's entitled to. The DM article claims that nine MPs used it. Considering the attack has only been on two Tories, should we assume that the other 7 were not? I wouldn't say he is entitled to it because learning a language like Hebrew is not helping him do his job just making it easier to talk to his partner and family. As for only picking out the 2 Tories, maybe the other 7 MPs were Tories but used the lessons for the reason they were intended, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddybare Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 tip of the iceberg for what MPs get away with. And anyone who believes mandarin or especially Hebrew could improve your love life in any way has obviously never had the displeasure of hearing either. Modern Hebrew is like a cross between Russian, German and Klingon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
