But you fail to comment on this web site ??? perhaps as a possible speaker and as an MP for 22 years you should not run for this position as you have, however probably de-frauded us taxpayers all this time. However as per your quote's it is within the rules but they need to change ??? it took 22 years for you as a whiter than white liberal MP to work that out ?? It only took me and many others to find out what a two faced fraud you are. Still you may get another nice little earner as speaker. Please answer your critics as prior to this sham you did, still silence speaks many words.

While unemployment in NE Fife increases we have a greedy MP claiming for of all things food. Around £3500 during parliament recesses from Sept 2004 till August 2007. I think we all deserve answers or should you just resign in disgrace. On a broader matter why does this country need 647 MP,S when most of our regulations and laws come from the European parliament. The number should be reduced by at least half. The remainder might find some usefull work then and have less time to fiddle their expenses.

Reform the allowance system so they get even more money without having to claim it? Politics isn't clever, it isn't complicated - it's largely pointless, from the ridiculous state opening of parliament to the inane pm questions. Lot's of people make money out of it - lobbyists, political correspondents reporting nothing, companies who offer directorships so they've got a voice in parliament. It will never change, it will always be corrupt, so let's stop banging on about it, stop giving mps media exposure - why should we be subjected to their odious nonsense? If I were an mp I'd be riding the gravy train all the way to the bank, claim every penny of allowance and make myself available for any remunerated directorship going. mps on the take - what a shocker, who would have thought…. hardly news is it?

In fact the range of expenses claimed by MPs only highlights the problem. Even if your own expenses are minimal by claiming anything at all you supported a frankly indefensible situation. Basically a group of people paid from the public purse decided that as they probably could not get their 'Boss' (us, the electorate) to pay them more they would devise a system of allowances so that they could subsidise their wages on the quiet without the 'Boss' ever knowing. Even worse they took steps to make sure the 'Boss' could not find out. As you might then expect some MPs became more enthusiastic 'subsidisers' than others. Given this situation do you honestly believe a few mumbled apologies about 'the system' and some guilt-edged checques will salvage MP's collective reputation? Dear Mr Campbell
