Im not generally in the politician bashing business, and think that ours are much better than the ones in the U.S. but ihave just read a bbc news article about Rob Wilson, MP for Reading East (conservative) who made multiple expenses claims of less than £1 including a 9p claim for a 352 yard car journey. 
Would anyone here bother to put in an expenses claim for 9p? |

It's very easy to find ridiculous examples of silly claims (duck houses and horse shit abound...)...
But...
As bad as our politicians are, think, this isn't Italy, Russia or Nigeria.
That the UK is one of the richest, least corrupt, safer societies on the planet. |

Where would you set the minimum value for 'bothering' to claim? |

Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves, or something like that.
Ffs when i tried to claim back taxi fare from the hospital, which was £20, they wouldn't give it me and only paid me as if i had my own car. Was less than £2 anyway.
Most of our politicians are shit, no matter what you're grading them against. Most of them haven't had any life experience coz they can pay someone else to do stuff for them. |

"the phrase that springs to mind is not a polite one..
he even claimed 60p for using his bicycle..
cuntish is one word.."
How can he justify that? No petrol costs, no parking costs
And I've never seen him round my area, probably because it's not the posh part of Reading |
