I would very much like to see the following people live on a council estate for a month on benfits.
- Every MP. They're there to represent the people, but they are so far removed from them, so far removed from knowing what its like to struggle, that they think it's OK to buy a fucking duck pond on expenses.
- Every policy maker and upper-management for DWP.
The only trouble with that, I don't know of a single individual who hasn't had to wait at _least_ 2 months for their benifits to come through.

It was the one that had his moat cleaned on expenses that really made me laugh.

I don't get what goes through someone's head to think "That is an OK purhcase".
How can someone draw the conclusion that it is anything but a sackable offence?

It wasn't a sackable offence
Apart from one or two exceptions (those who have been or are being prosecuted), on the whole it was the system that was corrupt not the MPs. They were encouraged to claim for as much as they could.

I bet one of them says "What's the point? I know it's only for a month, it's not a fair test, I might as well not do it".

Our local socialist only drew the wage of a skilled factory worker when he was an MP
(about 40% of what other MPs were being paid)

I remember him - Dave Nellist
Good honest bloke with principles. Paid his staff the proper going rate too instead of using unpaid interns and overpaid relatives. Obviously this didn't go down well with the Labour party so they dumped him and installed a new guy (I knew the new guy when he was a union official at RR - didn't trust him then, even less reason to trust him now)
