Our millionaire prime minister is cutting OAP heating allowances, As well as increasing every thing in price that affects the working people that he and his so-called socialists pretend they represent.;

 In light of this will they set an example by stopping  their perks , You know the subsided meals , second housing they rent or buy in London , travel , wage rises,    way beyond what others get ,  Free admission to events  (you can often see them smirking away sporting events inc snooker, football and so on ) .

 

I mean if we work away from home we have to pay our own way , travel lodging etc so why is it free for them  .

•  will they come out in support of the ordinary working people and stop pocketing the perks ,  

Oh very well said cuttsie

My staff in "Padders Bar" are very well treated. I always reimburse their bus fare home, their welcome to free nibbles,

They keep any tips they receive, and when busy, I provide them with cool Buxton fresh springwater.

But most of all they receive 4 sheets of luxury Andrex toilet paper when taking a comfort break.

I try to encourage customers to use their home toilet before going out.

That way I can keep our overheads low thus ensuring our prices are always competitive.

It's not favouritism, our staff are on duty from 7pm till late.

That's as fine an example of ' Whataboutery ' as I've come across in a long time.  People in other countries do the same and even worse, so our politicians should be allowed to fiddle the system to their hearts content and we shouldn't pass comment.

 

The repayment of accommodation and meals when working away from home are fully justifiable, providing it's genuinely claimed and not used for personal gain.

For years I worked in a business which entailed staying in hotels on several nights every month and also travelling on the Master Cutler for a monthly meeting at London Head Office. Breakfast on the way down and an evening meal on the return journey were also paid for by the company. However, receipts had to be provided and justified.

It was a security business and was exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Everyone in the industry was vetted. Anyone found fiddling their expenses was instantly dismissed and was unable to work in the industry again because of the vetting system.

 

Fifty two percent of MPs were found to have fiddled their expenses during the 2009 expenses scandal but they were simply allowed to repay the money stolen ( That's what obtaining money by deception is, stealing ) and then carry on as if nothing had happened. And it is still happening.

What people in foreign countries do is not my concern, what the people we elect to govern this country do is very much my concern, and should be everyone's concern.

 

We all know about certain MPs fiddling their expenses. There's been huge scandals about it. Nobody's saying that those who commit fraud shouldn't be in penalised and punished for it. 

 

But that is not even remotely the same as generic whines about subsidised facilities, allowances and expense accounts used by MPs and entire parliamentary staffs, that most of use won't even think about, which (taking away the hysterics) is justifiable expenditure and claimable just like it is in any other business. 

 

You might have to be so bothered about what is happening in other countries but AnnaB must be because that's what she was obviously using us as this great comparison measure of how allegedly terrible we are.

Not necessarily.   Just a business expense. Most employees will be able to claim back their expenditure (or have it directly paid for) if they are travelling out of normal location,  accommodating or even purchasing things for the company for the reasons of company business. 

 

It's hardly a great mystery. Most normal people in the working world understand that concept very quickly.

Twenty years ago I got £50 per night, but I slept in the van. I only stayed out overnight and then came back home,
