Laughing in your face

Oh yes they are. Millionaire David Cameron claims £21k a year through the Commons expenses system toward his mortgage. His government claims that £400 a week for three-bedroom accommodation in London (apparently little over £20k a year) is "extravagant" (when actually its fairly normal, thanks to, amongst other things, housing shortages, right to buy etc). Another angle on this is £21k "is slightly more money than a student nurse can expect to get over the course of 3 years to pay for everything, never mind a mortgage".

Roobin's note: Ian Duncan Smith gets his mansion for free.

Good stuff, but I'm having trouble following you. Each time I click the follow button, It ask me to sign in. But when I do, It will go back to the previous page, again asking me to sign in. And I've done everything correctly.
