Speaker Martin not to appeal MP's expenses ruling.

A report from The Independent, is here. This will have serious consequences, although the public must wait until the Autumn before itemised expenses of all the maggots in parliament (mps) will be available for the full sorry situation to be finally revealed. There are ten prospective candidates in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election where votes will be counted on Thursday evening. If the present polling is correct then Labour will lose the seat, and if past by-election form is followed the seat will return to Labour at the next General Election most probably in two years time. The maggot in parliament elected for Crewe and Nantwich only for the following two years, will thus (as far as I have so far been able to understand the parliamentary expenses scam) be able to claim over and above his/her salary and travelling expenses, about twenty-five thousand pounds for each of the two years for furnishing and equipping his Nantwich home at John Lewis and a further approx., twenty-five thousand for each of the two years towards his mortgage for the purchase of the house. The foregoing is based on the recently and reluctantly announced expenses of Lib/Dem leader Nick Clegg, MP. So it looks like a tax free bonus of about one hundred thousand pounds for one of the lucky ten candidates who wins on Thursday. Who loses is equally plain - the long suffering tax-payer (many of whom cannot even now afford to feed their pets, read here) MP how soon before "maggot in parliament" becomes the more commonly used term? We want our promised referendum! Stop the scheming of Speaker Martin, read more below!
