Today the papers are full of stories about how our crooked MPs are trying to get themselves �100,000 a year salaries. I already reported this story in April 2008 on page 182 of Squandered and then again on 29 June 2008 in� a Sunday Mail article titled Why we should sack half our MPs.�Our thieving MPs claim they need a huge pay rise because it’s more difficult to cheat on their expenses. But they have actually been plotting this cash-grab long before the expenses scandal erupted.
