second homes can be anywhere.....some of the MPs have 3,4 or 5 homes , and as each one needs decorating, a new bed or a tv or repair they 'flip' to the that one . They then get the work required done on that one then 'flip' to the next and so on . While they are doing this they are selling the improved properties all at our expense !!!!, while pocketing the profit . I think that is why Hazel Blears always has that annoying bloody grin on her smug face, even more annoying when she's standing there saying she has done nothing wrong and everything is within the rules. This where an expenses REVIEW is total crap ..... They are still stealing thousands out of our money ...BIN expenses, they are getting enough already . If they need food while staying in London , why not have a canteen

?? god forbid they should live like common people !!!! Even now they still think they are entitled to all these expenses and are just moving goalposts , only a few have given anything back !!! and many like Margaret Becket refuse totally to hand any of her £72,000 back (she even having a grace and favour apartment !!!! as well, and rented her SECOND home out, or Nick Brown any of his £87,000 . All of these thieving, lying conniving fraudsters need sacking , they are corrupt to the core . Above all else it is the total arrogance and disdain with which they answer, when questioned about there thievery . This whole situation beggars belief , not that they do it , but the attitude they take when caught doing it. Gordon Brown says he was unaware of any of this going on, CRAP , absolute sh*te, when someone becomes an MP , they are taken to one side and TOLD that they are expected to use ALL of the expenses money and how they can do it , and that if they don't, they will be letting the side down . This was said on TV by Michael Portillo on 'This Week' . This has been the situation for longer than 5 years too , at least 10 in the form it is now. Will they be taken to account on this , not really , THEY made the rules , and they , (the ones that made those rules, themselves ) are mainly solicitors, lawyers and barristers, oh and not to mention that, it is also they who nowdays put the top policemen in their jobs too.....

?? I won't be expecting too many court cases over this. They are all expert violinists .... like Nero.... fiddling while Rome burns ,or in this instance while London and the rest of the UK goes down the pan , and it is they who are flushing the loo .
