Question Time on the BBC Menzies Campbell booed after £10,000 flat claim

[valarmanwe]

By what Campbell says it sounds as if we not only pay for MP`s food, we pay for that of their families as well. What world are they living in ?

These buggers have it cushier than school children.

My friend drive lorries long distance across Europe and guess what? He buys his own food out of his pocket!!!! Shock, horror!!

[ec123456789able]

it was his flat, he should have payed for the renovations.

[petehall1985]

@ec123456789able if he is renting it then im surprised he was allowed to do any renovations

[ec123456789able]

@petehall1985 good point. these greedy pigs need to stop stealing the Tax Payer's money that is for sure. the way things are going, i doubt i will ever vote until the day i die!

no one worth voting for ... sadly :(

[petehall1985]

@ec123456789able whiilst it may be that no 'person' is worth voting for surely voting for the party that supports your world view most is better than apathy. going one step and actively engaging in local politics means you get to change things, campaign and get your voice heard. in regards to not voting i think we have a duty to vote when you consider the lengths people went to get you the vote and some form of democracy. fight from within and push for democratic reform. apathy acheives nothing

[ec123456789able]

@petehall1985 I am not apathetic, i am very politically aware and have strong political views, however i will not vote and support someone i view as immoral. i myself am a pacifist, a libertarian, and a believer in power to the people and not politicians. that is why i don't want to support them.

of course, people did fight for the vote, but this was hundreds of years ago when the difference between political parties was ''freedom vs establishment''. however a lot has changed since then.

[petehall1985]

@ec123456789able not voting is apathy, people died in the past 100 years for this right. If you find a multiple party system using fptp undemocratic do something about it engage with the process. you can't ask for power from the sidelines. join a local party and geting involved in local politics making a difference. you make compromises with friends, partners, at work its the same in politics. if you think were all awful run as an independent dont just write on youtube.

Look at Margaret Beckett's 11 chins fold over her ghastly teeth. Probably the only time she's ever enjoyed a moment in life apart from when she's kicking cats.
