MPs and Expenses Theft: “Let Them Eat Cake?”

It is with great interest that I have been following the news of late, a slight break from my usual style, having said which at present I am a little unsure of my own style, as the pieces of my life lay broken abound upon the floor. Still I digress. The news, this MP business and the blessed expenses.

Politics is not really an area that I follow, the way I figure it, is having worked hard all my life, none of the bunch of idiots that place themselves up there offer me anything, the working man from middle England is a forgotten man, the wheel that makes the cogs grind to feed the full blown stomachs of the rich and keep the tables of the poor covered, despite the fact it is the working man who day in day out labours for little or no fruits of there own reward.

As my world falls down and I struggle to make ends meet, struggle to meet my commitments, never mind put food on my own table, which is looking more and more like an impossible feet, I see day in day out this out right theft. OK so its in the rules…these people have not broken the law…hmmm the law they wrote by any chance?

Annoyed is not the least of it, whilst I struggle they fiddle and Rome burns, they have all had there fingers in the cookie jar. For years I have paid my tax, and come on lets face it the tax goes up and the benefits we are supposed to see shrink year on year. A simple trip to see a Dr is a near on impossibility, even if you do manage to get past the receptionist getting an appointment is no mean feet! Yet these people, these so called moral guardians of the state, are stealing. I don’t care how you dress it up, they are stealing from our pockets, taking the food from our tables, and its wrong, wrong on so many levels.

Its theft alright, regardless of the fact it is in the so called rules, all I see is that while years and years I have been struggling to get by, these people have been living it up, that money could have come to me, or thousands like me to help us, to help us put food on our tables, feed our family’s, to live something of life instead of working every hour to finance some MP’s rather lavish life style.

Yet they don’t really seem to want to do anything about it, at first when the news came out, the Police were called not to investigate the theft of our money, O no…..! But to catch the snitch….! Houses, cars and that’s just what we know about, how many millions of our money has gone to feed there full blown belly’s? how many people have killed themselves over financial worries? How many people miss out on life through having no money?

Lets turn this around, I keep going on about me, well this is my blog so indulge me! I am in a position where things have fallen apart, having worked all my life I now have no job, (Again thanks to these rich idiots playing games with the forgotten race, but that’s another story) I can not get any type of benefit for at least 6 weeks and am made to feel inadequate by trying to make a claim, let me also point out that I have worked all of my life, one if not two or even three jobs to keep the wheels turning! I don’t want a fancy telly, I don’t want a holiday, I simply would like to be able to pay my bills and put food on my table, yet I cant do it. Now if I was able to get state benefits for a period and managed to source a bit of “on the side” work…the state would prosecute me for stealing… probably around £60 per week, even though all I would be doing is trying to eat, to live. On the other hand our right Honorable MP’s are taking thousands of our money, but that is with in the rules…..! Forgive me now for being stupid, but what is the difference? I would be trying to put food on my table…while they indulge in idle luxury…. its still theft!

I also wonder when they are writing up these claims, fiddling the tax man, with the tax payers money (O the irony…) if they are made to feel inadequate? made to feel small for claiming something? all be it not a piece of bread like my case, but the latest model plasma screen TV, or keeping the Garden neat and tidy….!

There behaviour at the end of the day is unacceptable, its OK talking about reform, now they have been well and truly caught with there hands in the cookie jar, but it does not undo the misery of the people, the years of suffering, while they take more than they need, the people that are suppose to look after our interests. Its fraud and its theft…No mistake, no question.

I am angry, fed up and I hate this country…more and more each day, but as part of the forgotten working race I am trapped, I will never have the money to escape the bonds that hold me, never have the means to stop myself having to run round and round in the rat wheel to spurn the lights of the house of our right Honorable MP’s.

Again the age old case of “Let them eat cake”
