Nick Clegg MP & parasite.

Here we go again! Another sodding MP on the take, yep blag as much free money from the taxpayers as they can. It does make one wonder is the letters MP actually mean "Money Please"...

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has revealed he claimed more than £7,000 on expenses to renovate his constituency home.

He used the cash to pay for carpets, curtains, light fittings, garden maintenance and plastering work.

He also received over £12,000 for his mortgage on the property in Sheffield, nearly £1,700 for his council tax and £600 for his telephone bill.

MPs can claim up to £23,000 a year on expenses for costs associated with running a second home.

He released his own information - published on the party website - voluntarily.

It gives more details than was previously available for his claims in the financial year 2007/08 but does not give a receipt-by-receipt breakdown of his spending.

A note accompanying his expenses said much of the money spent on his constituency home was for "one-off repair work".

- After all one has to avoid that negative equity and well if the taxpayers cash can tart up the home then all well and good.

He said the Sheffield property had been in a "neglected condition" when he bought it and needed the work to make it fit for normal use - money was spent on repairing his garage, redecorating his living room and tiling his kitchen wall.

So nice to see taxpayers money not wasted on hospitals, prisons, roads, or maybe even lowering the council tax bills. Far better to sort out a few tiles for Mr Cleggs kitchen wall. The poor darling had the building in a neglected condition" and after all why should he a feudal noble, er sorry MP have to use his pittence of a wage to do up his second home? Why should he have to live in a hovel like many of the rest of us?

Mr Clegg claimed the maximum £23,083 under the additional costs allowance for second homes, in 2007-8.

Well of course he did it would be rude not to, after all it would only have been wasted on say feeding an OAP, or some such frivolous waste. Far better for Mr Clegg to use it on his home and let some OAP die in a run down hospital.

He said that all his frontbenchers will disclose similar quarterly expenses breakdowns from July.

A Freedom of Information case revealed MPs can claim up to £10,000 for a new kitchen, £6,335 for a new bathroom and £2,000 for furniture - under the so-called "John Lewis list" of acceptable prices.

The additional costs allowance can also be used to fund up to £400 a month on food, interest on mortgage payments, utility bills, phone bills and hotel bills.

The House of Commons is fighting to avoid releasing the details of expenses claims under the allowance of 14 MPs and former MPs under the Freedom of Information Act.

They argue the publication of the MPs' second home addresses in a receipt-by-receipt breakdown of expenses would compromise security.

A High Court decision on whether MPs expenses should be fully disclosed has been deferred to a later date.

What more to add? Nothing other than what a complete and utter contemptible little cunt Lib Dem MP Nick Clegg is.

He sits there like some fucking feudal lord offering largess to the farm workers on the estate and has the smug, condescending attitude that because he voluntarily put the monies he trousered from the taxpayers on his website, that it makes him somehow superior to other MP's.

It does not. It just shows that the whole perks on top of their wages malarkey has got way out of hand. The rest of us, that is the workers in case Mr Clegg is reading have to get up find our own way to work, pay our own fares, our utility bills, council tax and do up our only abode -in most cases - out of our own pockets.

Note to Mr Clegg, you are a worker in our employ. We pay your way, your wages, hell your kitchen tiles costs come to think about it.

Lets just hope that come election time a certain Mr Clegg finds himself out on his ear and has to earn a crust the hard way like the rest of us back in the real world.

**Update - sent a copy of this to a certain Nick Clegg MP - shall update if he decides to offer this pleb some noblise largess and reply to the mail, I wrote:

Dear Mr Clegg,

So nice to see that you have put your expenses online.

Thanks for spending the max amount of 23K on your second home.

Thanks for using my money on doing up your kitchen, nice to see my taxpayers money put to good use.

Even better that some was spent on repairing your garage.

No doubt Mr Clegg you feel superior like some feudal lord offering largess to the farm workers on the estate, as you put your expenses out early. Yet all that shows is your smug, condecending attitude and a false sense of moral superiority to other MP's.

So here is a little bit I put out on your good self.
