Penistone999 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm surprised!.....Nothing surprises me where MP's are concerned, but I didn't think it happened to the little people (no I don't mean midgets). Yeah, its always happened with council properties. Naughty i know ,but it happens . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The Parliamentarian Parasites are still at it. It's all legal and above board of course. Claim expenses on your house, and rent it out to a fellow MP for 20 grand a year. You just could not make it up. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusflower Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Whoever is responsible for editing what goes into the BBC1 6 o'clock news should perhaps explain why they saw fit to omit this story this evening. "Twenty seven MP's are claiming taxpayer funded expenses to rent homes in London while simultaneously letting property in the capital." As if that fact itself is not bad enough it is not against the rules. Excuse me while I just go check to see how wet my back is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Why would it be against the rules to own property and rent it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusflower Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Why would it be against the rules to own property and rent it out. It is not. I believe that's what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It is not. I believe that's what I said. Yes, I know. I'm asking why would or should it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusflower Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes, I know. I'm asking why would or should it be? Do you not mind then when an MP who has a property in London lets it out to another MP and then rents another one all at your expense? I say that in the assumption that you are a taxpayer of course.

quisquose Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It did feature quite heavily on BBC's Radio 4 news at the same time if that makes you happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusflower Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It did feature quite heavily on BBC's Radio 4 news at the same time if that makes you happier. I know, I listened to it thanks. I tuned in to the BBC TV news to see how they would present the story. Just to set the record straight, I'm not unhappy...far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusflower Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 When SevenRivers has finished rolling his/her eyes at me perhaps I could get an answer to the question I posed in post 5 of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
