We are living in a time of cutbacks where essential services are suffering due to a lack of funds, for example Devon and Cornwall Police are having to make officers redundant due to a £9 million cut in their budget in the next financial year. So why the hell are we still subsidising these privileged troughers in the House of Lords £2 million so that they can enjoy delicacies like 'Prawn and lobster meat folded into Avugar caviar' with 'lemon mayonnaise, with tomato and cucumber salsa and grilled baby gem lettuce' for just £10, 'Squid ink linguine, served with sautéed mixed shellfish, roasted red peppers coulis, mixed with lemon and flat leaf parsley topped with parmesan shavings' for £9 or 'grilled breast of guinea fowl, served with café au lait, sautéed kale and parsnip crisps' for £9.50 or a grilled minute steak for £10.
One peer even complained he would get a better-value breakfast for £36 at London's five-star Ritz Hotel.
Well here is a radical thought for you, fuck off down there instead of fleecing the taxpayer because you feel you are 'entitled to it'
We don't pay our taxes so that you can shamelessly stuff your faces with fine food at our bleedin' expense you shameless bastards and given the cash for honours scandal you can't even say that you have been chosen to represent the people.
How many nurses could you pay for each year for the cost of your dining habits? How many police officers?
And this is without taking into account the taxpayer funded cafeterias for MP's and their staff.
What did callmedave say at the start of the last government? "We are all in this together"
I'll believe that when I see MP's and Lords taking lunches in with them or going to Subway instead of taking the piss with taxpayers money that is sorely needed elsewhere.
