Bugger!!!! Caught again

Post by Wholley »

This latest MP's expenses fiasco is a relatively new thing.
Up until 2003 MP's were required to itemise and have their expenses scrutinised by the NAO.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer changed the rules and exempted MP's from disclosing their expenses via the"special kinds of employee"clause which was quietly slipped in to the Income Tax(Earnings and Pensions)Act of 2003.
I'll give you one guess who it was.

I know,
I'm real sad but the FoIA intrigues me.
I don't understand why the POTUS even bothered talking to him.



Curses!!!!!!!!Gave it away :o

MP's Expenses

Post by iamsocial »

Hello all,

I’ve asked the admin here if I can come in and talk to you, as I see you have been talking about the MPs' expenses scandal.

I asked to officially post, as I wanted to let you know about a campaign we've launched, called Open Up, to make politics more open and transparent. In particular we are calling on the public to sign our petition for open primaries which we want in place by the next election.

The petition is athttp://www.openupnow.org/ and we've had some pretty funny videos made by the comedy legend, John Lloyd, on our YouTube page too.

You can also join us on Twitter and Facebook.

As this is something I know a fair few people here are passionate about I thought you might like to support us!

I look forward to hearing your views, thanks for reading.

Tom
