The Debate Goes On

Following on from Mr BJ's blog,I was walking on Hampstead Heath yesterday with a couple of friends when the coversation came round to the politicians expenses claims, between the three of us we had quite a debate.
We decided that, if you are earning a salary of up to £160,000, then you are probably one of the few people who can actually afford to buy two homes and pay for them yourself!
Also we considered the idea that some of these people obviously are not in tune with the little voice inside, which surely would have been saying "hey, come on now, don't you think you're taking the piss"
But what really interested us was that all the politicians had the same set of 'Rules' to go by, but only some some chose to use these to their complete finacial advantage, while others chose only to claim sensible outgoings, I know which kind of people I'ld rather have in Government.
As a wise man once said 'By your deeds be Known'
