BawWatchin Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I personally hope they rip them off for every penny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Those headline numbers are meaningless. Without at least a partial breakdown it's not possible to tell if they are ripping the pish.Flights into London City Airport on a Monday and back again on a Thursday are silly prices. Running an office and staff costs a lot as well. Nothing really wrong with claiming every penny for every allowable expense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the tory expenses will be high as well. With all them plane trips they take to Scotland..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears he wants to take on Russia, China and everyone else (apart from the USA of course) with our 1 aircraft carrier. I'm sure he's also gagging for a shot at Venezuela (alongside our masters of course). It would be totally hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous. #puremadmentalbrits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Maybe that could explain Priti Patel's high expense claim as well, I suppose.A work colleague of mine previously worked for Patel, and describes her as an odious individual. Isn't it satisfying when your prejudices coincide with reality ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised he's getting less stick than Grayling, we've got a totally deluded nutter in charge of our Military. Downing Street have already squashed most of his speech, especially sending our new aircraft carrier out to enforce the South China Sea with a couple of planes and before it's completed its sea trials. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/11/gavin-williamson-defence-policy-uk Edited February 12, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky, have you got your hands on the Jackie Baillie Calculator? Alan Reid claimed £173,133.67 in financial year 2012/13, £178,073.64 in financial year 2013/14 and £173,803.28 in financial year 2014/15. He also claimed a further £66,461.46 in 2015/16. Quite a sum, considering he was kicked out after about a month of that financial year. All figures are available here by using the calendar button Either withdraw your ridiculous claim, or provide some verifiable justification for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the last years claim also covers redundancy payment for office staff? If so thats pretty reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
