Who are the real scroungers?
IAIN Duncan Smith once tried to claim £39 expenses for a hotel breakfast.
George Osborne was caught travelling in a first-class train carriage with a standard ticket.
185 other MPs have claimed for first-class rail tickets despite official guidelines forbidding it. 27 MPs have rented out their London homes while claiming public money to rent a house somewhere else.
Along with all the other expenses transgressions, is it not them who are the scroungers and not us?
Lets give them all a smart card to stop them blowing their expenses on fancy food, luxury travel and the robbing of the common wealth for their own selfish ends!
