Josh from Kingston asks why is travel so expensive

[boiledmilk]

Oh Gosh! I just realised-all the things I implied they paid for it's you and I who have to pay for it-for their second houses for the wide screen tv's for their unaccounted for daily expenses plus the pensions + the 6-12 wages they get if they leave prematurely-all this the tax payer pays for and they get to keep it-all of it-and probably tax free. Gad bless our elected British representives-how financially better off we might be with half as many of them!

He has a point, its very expensive

When was the last time you had a bath? I once travelled once only thank heavens on one of those bendy buses and the passenges usually stink! You can't have members of parliament or your local councilors stinking like that! Pay up-you'd probably only waste the money on drugs anyway.

Come on we need the money-rif-raf like you should be happy to pay for us-stop complaining , and get your hair cut. Have you ANY idea how much it costs to keep us mp and local councillors going? We have such over heads-such as paying our second morgages, as well as the first one, we have to pay the other members of our families for something or other related to the job. Plus our huge inflation proof pension schemes for when we hav to leave the trough-er I mean the House.
