None of the remaining 645, of all parties, have admitted it. <br /><br />They are all thinking the same though.<br /><br />Lamp posts - they routinely leave entire databases on trains. So a pleb possibly catching a glimpse of one screen is really not much of an excuse.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-52669258999973494072010-02-19T11:01:21.844+00:002010-02-19T11:01:21.844+00:00Probably scared that the unwashed will look over h...Probably scared that the unwashed will look over his shoulder and read his expenses claim form. £900 a month rent for ten years on a house he gave to his daughter ten years ago. £100k expenses and £11k in food for him and Mrs trougher over the last 4 years.

There's not much of a premium on first class in winter for most journeys. Can't speak for London trains. I avoid going there. Far too crowded for my liking.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-54789895119027928742010-02-19T01:43:24.328+00:002010-02-19T01:43:24.328+00:00John - the cheapest method would be hitchhiking.

He wants to claim the fare equivalent, pocket the difference and do no work en route. Lovely.<br /><br />And not working outside of the Privileged Zone? Twelve years of commuting from one end of the country to the other 48 weeks a year, working solidly throughout every 3-9 hour journey (depending on rain, snow, leaves, suicides) in cattle class, and, guess what, I paid the fare out of my salary too.

But it should be at their own expense. <br /><br />The taxpayer should ONLY be liable for the cost of the cheapest, reasonable method of travel between two points. All other comforts, pleasantries and cuddly add-ons is a matter for the spoiled lard-arse and his wallet.John Pickworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166443099429490782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-90981181982593423982010-02-18T22:20:42.002+00:002010-02-18T22:20:42.002+00:00The fool is telling lies.

They travel second class everywhere and that includes long haul flights.<br /><br />They don't complain like this pompous, overpaid specimen of a tory.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.com
