People on golf forums who assume every comment being made is serious. Those people should be shot too.
I’ve seen enough on here to believe some of the members actually believe the crap they write.
Obviously many of them wouldn’t say boo to a goose outside the internet.

When I was a kid we were shipped off to boarding school (Dad in army, 5 of us, Mum passed away)...anyway, it was more like the flipping workhouse. We'd stop at the Services on the way back after holidays and I'd stock my pockets with the butter pats and sugar sachets that used to be "free". Amazing how good butter creamed with sugar is!

The absolute state of some tweets. Telling people they're just being lazy or moaning they can't afford to feed their kids when pasta is cheap from the shop. Punching down, every single one of them.

I'd go the opposite route and double their salary but not let them claim the expenses. Build a new parliament building in Birmingham with a connected hotel so none of them need second homes. If you want to become an MP you know that you'll have to travel to Birmingham to carry out your role so it's up to you to get yourself there. While you're there your accommodation is provided for you but you're paying for your own meals as you'd have to pay for them if you were at home.

Just realised that this would be unfair on those MPs that represent constituencies further away from Birmingham. Therefore the only expenses that they will be allowed to claim will be for a standard (not first class) flight or train ticket to Birmingham. Apart from that there are no other expenses they can claim.

Have always felt that the second home rubbish should be replaced with government owned flats in the city

Appreciate people have to travel for work and the MP for Newcastle for example needing to be in London for the night or whatever ok you get this flat for the night or however long needed

Rather than oh pick a second home that you can come and go too

Only exception is obviously the pm as you don't expect him or her to sell their house when they get the job and that should be provided for them

Anyone else u get the option of the flats or u buy your own home out of your own pocket.
