Kick them out of the union!

IN THE LAST issue you chose to feature certain MPs. While it is hard to believe that anyone who receives a remuneration of around £65,000 for a part-time job in London should also have the greed to demand expenses, it appears that some people do exactly this. A certain amount of the claims look to me to be practically fraudulent.

Of course, no sensible voter will ever give an X to an MP who has previously asked for expenses. But some of the current crop have by their actions brought the NUJ into disrepute, and should be expelled forthwith.
