Mp's expenses on line

[badco]

Is your MP especially infantile?

He does strike me as the kind of person who dresses in nappies and pays somebody to change him when he soils himself...out of his own money of course

Question for xes.

I take it you don't like MPs much then?

 

[xes]

meh, I can take them or leave them (in a big pool of BLOOD)

What ever gave you that idea?!

 

[danny la rouge]

not a chance. They use NLP.

NLP?

 

[xes]

Neuro Linguistics Programing. Basicly hypnosis. (well it's not, but it is) Cleverly wording things to make you listen. Lots of public speakers/teachers use it (I never trusted them, either )

eg- tell a child to not play in the road, and more than likely they'll play in the road. Say "play on the field" instead, and they're more likley to listen.

I 'think' he means Neuro Linguistic Programming.

ETA: Apparently, I'm right.

OK, so how do you find out what's going on?

 

[xes]

you are indeed. I know it's not that sinister, but I still don't like it. It's akin to brainwashing.

I make my own mind up. (which i know is the cause of me believing some weird and wonderful stuff, but i prefer it that way) Most of the news is so full of negative shite, and celebrity life style shite, that i couldn't give a fuck about it anyway.

Well, that saves time anyway.

(When I said "news" I didn't mean solely TV news bulletins, btw).

yeah sorry, I also read some "alternative " websites, (and urban) which fit in better with my view on the world. Even some of the bigger conspiracy sites have a much more balenced view than what our media have

Not that I've ever wondered before... But this is the guy who sorts out David Cameron's web site:

When it was pointed out that the most heinous claims are redacted in the official version the government spokesman on More4 news said that they would set up a special commission that would fine MPs up to £5000 if they're found to commit fraud.

You know...like the real law....but for MPs.

They're trying to gain advantage from it now.

My MP, Mark Field (Con, London & Westminster) seems annoyingly and boringly frugal.

Some slight eyebrow raisers though:

Webcam £25
Tissues £0.99
Book: The Google Story £7.99
Book: Tescopoly £7.99
Book: Broken Dreams - Vanity, Greed and the Souring of British Football £7.99
Book: Things can only get better (John O'Farrell) £6.99
2 x Assorted Biscuits, 1 kg £9.44

Only thing I could hold against him is that he buys his books at Waterstones, while there are hundreds of independent book shops in his constituency. But all in all... meh.

This made me laugh:

List of repayments of allowances voluntarily submitted by Members since 1 April 2009 - £478,000 since 1st April.



What a pathetic shower.
