what a shower of greedy barstewards some MSP's are http://www.scotsman.com/latestnews/-So-who-would-claim.4877977.jp :bitchy:


"The largest recorded rejected claim was from David Whitton, Labour's finance spokesman, who wanted £290 in expenses for printing Christmas cards.


"An unnamed MSP tried to claim back money for a sat-nav device.



"Jim Mather, the enterprise minister, tried to claim an undisclosed amount for breakdown recovery. His bids to get £28.91 back for Christmas cards and £9.05 for freight costs were also thrown out. The SNP's Michael Matheson wanted £44.45 for plants and plant pots for an office, while the SNP's Stuart McMillan was also refused £225.60 for a Christmas advert.

nope, not TOO surprised, what i would like to know is, are MSP's born greedy gits, or do they just become greedy gits when they become MSP's and enter the gravy train building, is it some kind of un-written rule :soapbox:
