THE article regarding expenses claims from Rob Wilson MP for the 352 yard journey on (alleged) official business made me wonder who measured the 352 yards?

More importantly in view of MPs’ past track records, who checked it as being valid?

For the readers who complain about the Government’s attitude to the working classes, ordinary people, foxes, dole boys and everyone else who does not have their noses in the trough (as described by Billy Neilson) I say, what do you expect?

My late mother used to say that you get nothing from the Tories.

Maybe Iain Duncan-Smith’s glee at George Osbourne’s budget was the best example of how he regards ordinary people.

Hold your breath for the next five years, it’s going to get rough.

The snag is that the Labour Party looks ready to elect another knob to make the Tory job a lot easier.
