Or old Cameron chops kitting out his pad, spent £800 on two bookshelves? i mean where can you get TWO for that price?.

meanwhile they happily send the young working class to their deaths in far gone places .......

vote the c**t out.

It's ALL ok now, they are giving the money back

Voting changes nothing??

Serious?

Yup

There is no choice when the only parties that have any chance in winning in the rigged system are the same bunch of crooks

Fry's a cunt I'm sorry to say, preaching this doesn't matter while dressed in a dinner jacket and bow tie

I cant remember if I had posted a link to this story before - www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2009/may/08/labour-government-modern-art

"A while ago I went to see the Government Art Collection, where I was shown many old paintings currently in storage. When the Tories were in power, I was told, these 18th-century portraits were all the rage for ministers' offices. The current government has been more interested in modern art. I think I knew at that moment that New Labour was doomed."

Who's the buyer for this Government Art Collection?

im afraid to say fry is more spot on than you think.
Most self employed people claim for what ever they can and take the piss claiming office at home and getting money back for elec and telephone bills etc.
I say that because my wife has done it and im sure many here have to.
When you claim tax back that money comes from gov just like when mps claime xpencise .
What this is doing is just keeping the sheeple amused while much more is going on.
Think of the loss the gov etc loose evey day and we think nothing of it.
eg worm wood scrubs has a court in it but judges wont use it to try offenders because they wont get in the media. This cost the uk tax payers approx 35,000 pounds a time.
Would that be nice for your local school.#

Look we all for got about that guy and his massive pension and the money we gave to other countries
wake up people fry is right stop panicing nothing will change

I'm afraid to say he isn't in any way spot on. I've highlighted self employed in red here because MPs are a very different kettle of fish. They're employed by us, the clue is in the title, "civil servants", so claiming for kit kats or horse poo or a 3rd country home or whatever it is, simply isn't ethically right in any way.

Someone like Fry is no sort of spokesman on the rights or wrongs of MPs, just have a little think about who he might be associated with politically, and the sort of salary he might be on while huge numbers in the rest of the country struggle.

there are many loop hole and we all jump through them when its in our favour as did they its not right but it is reality

i dont see the whole problem with the expenses saga, everyone claims more than they can on the old expenses???
i went up to scotland for work, claim for a hotel, stayed with my mate and put a night out on my expenses too.. top job..
MP's are doing the same thing just on a grander scale, but they have rules to say mostly its OK..

putting the tories in instead of labour isnt going to do shit imo, the country is fucked yes, its going to be fucked for a while doesnt matter who is in power.. just got to live with it..

you are right about footballers etcit was in reponce the the stephen fry salary question

People im a stubborn arse and you are right to be upset but look into how much money we waste especially tax payers money eg bankers bonuses and especially the eu. when you have done that you will realise that this is covering stuff up not informing you of some thing you didnt know
