Sir,
I have just been disappointingly listening to the Channel 4 news after a very long day at my second job just to make ends meet, only to listen to the arrogances of yourself and your Rt Hon colleagues complaining about your extraordinarily generous expenses funded by us the British tax payer.
I struggle to believe that you or any of your Rt Hon colleagues can not manage your time better by delegating such menial tasks to your very well paid secretary staff especially when you personally declared an extravagant £83,000 from the public purse for this luxury.
You are tremendously lucky and blessed that you do not have to deal with the extremely bureaucratic and incomplete HMRC system that I and hundred of thousands others have to wade through year in year out only seeing further red tape suffocating the life out small business.
May I make a suggestion if you or your staff are so busy or find it so challenging to deal with your very honoured position having 650 ish MP’s with your very own bespoke department for expenses, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, that you look to the end of our road where we have the very privileged welfare system paying for individuals to be at home every day doing nothing. I am sure you could utilise their time better by doing yours and other Rt Hon MP’s expenses claims.
They are so fortunate just like Rt Hon MP’s that they have brand new state of the art affordable housing paid for, have the ability to drop off and collect their children at school morning and night, they have better cars than the rest of the professional workers around them, their children are better dressed than many others as they receive incredibly lucrative benefits to purchase such items, they have the ability to have two family holidays each year and to top things off they even are able to support such recreation activities by owning three very expensive horses on their benefits.
I currently see remarkably little of my very young family, one of which is profoundly disabled, having to work 18 hour days with a very different family life balance to the cherished life of the local boastful benefits claimants or any Rt Hon Politian.
Indeed, I, like many other hard working tax payers provide to the state so we can have a welfare system to support disabled, elderly and those in real need of support, yet I hear Politian’s wasting time complaining about such a trivial meaningless issues which has caused so much deep anger to the normal working person who you and your Rt Hon colleagues are meant to be representing.
I have, with scores of others supported you in the Andover area for many years but find it very disappointing for such a seasoned Politian getting involved with such a juvenile argument being in such a privileged position.
I feel in this instance your time would be better spent using your wealth of experience and valuable time to fix this country that is in such a mess by doing what the great British public voted you in for rather than debating on national television that you and your Rt Hon colleagues are being some how hard done by and use this opportunity on nation television more productively by prioritising and sorting out this mess that the country is in.
Yours disappointingly,
