[Phoebus_Apollo]

I was disgusted to read here that despite his massive salary Jamie Stone the Lib Dem MSP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross claimed 42p for a pint of milk!! from the taxpayers money - this must be bureaucracy gone mad.

The proof is here (http://mspallowances.scottish.parliament.uk/MSPAllowances/Viewer.aspx)

Anyone else think this is a step to far :confused:

Most people have to pay there own bus/ taxi fare, why cant they? There should be a set limit for expenses then its out of there own pocket. They'd soon learn to cost cut, like the rest of us.

some of the expenses they claim back is ridiculous one was for 7p. I'd be embarassed to claim that. some folk have a right brass neck.

Does that really surprise anybody? All through History politicians have been corrupt & in it for themselves, why do ye feel shocked at that?
Who was the politician that claimed for shoelaces a few years back? I remember laughing at that 1, & the mp who claimed for paper clips? Fair enough , they will use a lot of them in a 4 year stretch.
