MPs' expenses: Armed Forces Minister claimed Poppy Day service mileage - Telegraph

Not satisfied with sponging of the tax payers in the pursuit of fine dining and the quaffing of expensive wines, it now appears our hard up MP’s now require assistance purchasing petrol to attend the 2011 Remembrance Parade.

So, despite the fact that it is completely above board, some sad-sacks think this is outrageous? How upset will they be to find out I have claims of over 20,000 miles per year that the taxpayer has paid for, and I wasn't even going to something as important as a remembrance ceremony.

With petrol at, say, 1.45 a litre or thereabouts, he'll probably organise a PFI to provide him with a tank full (by 201

at a bargain price of £7.00 per litre.

Nice to hear from the voice of reason. Do I think it's outrageous, not really but I do find it strange that an MP on over £100,000 a year feels the need to claim a piddling amount to attend a service of remembrance with his own constituents and then make a claim that most probably cost more to process than it is in claims.
