I`m all for Guy Fawkes. They are all a bloody disgrace, Keith Tindell

Hi, Since the debacle by MP Eric Joyce in the hose of commons bar, see my earlier comment, i am so furious to learn that for every £10 spent by an Mp on food or drink, we the public put in £7+. I have emailed my MP today asking why we should subsidise them, especially as they cannot behave themselves in the bar, and does he think the subsidy should be removed. So i am standing by for the usual load of waffle, that says nothing. Will post his reply, if i get one Regards Keith Tindell

Irrespective of the MP Joyces wages and perks, one year he claimed expences for the year of £200000.00p. that works out at £547.94p per day for 365 days and of course this was tax free. Talk about nice work if you can get it. I wonder if he will claim legal aid to pay for his defence when it comes to Court. Three counts of common assault maximum penalty 6 months for each charge to run consecutively (Joke) total 18 months in the nick. This is before Ken Clarke our Justice Minister gets hold of it and reduces the sentence to 18 minutes community service with an optional fine of 20 pence, claimable back on expences of course.
Dont forget that the litle man who sits in the big chair (Bercow or is it Kim Ill Jong) in the House of Commons has banned all MPs from even speaking about the incident yet this is supposed to be the country of free speach.
Thats my opinon for what its worth.
