I agree with you - fiddling expenses is rife
but when the said expenses comes from general taxation you can understand why people would be upset, regardless of whichever bunch if inept tossers are in charge at the time. We're in recession; people are losing their jobs left right and centre so people will be upset about the whole affair.
I dare say the Tories put in some mad claims back when they were in charge (I seem to remember a Tory MP putting wallpaper costing £5000 a roll on his expenses back in the early 90s)
All MP expenses need to be audited every year and any irregularity investigated by an independant body.
