These people still don't get it, do they?

Quote:

Married Labour MPs Ann and Alan Keen have come under fire for claiming thousands of pounds on a second home near Parliament, while their designated main home is only 10 miles away.
Now a group of men have taken direct action by squatting in the main home they say has been left unoccupied.

Quote:

In a statement on Monday they said: "It is our home and has been very special to us for a long time. We find it extremely upsetting to know that our house is occupied by squatters who appear to believe that they are entitled to do what they wish in our property."

Aaww, diddums... It's our tax money and has been very special to us for a long time. I find it extremely upsetting to know that our money is being used by gravy-boating spongers who appear to believe they are entitled to do what they wish with our money.

Member of Parliament.

England is split into about 650(?) regions, each of which votes for an MP to
give them political representation. Each MP can attend discussions in the
House of Parliament, create motions and vote on motions that are put
forward. Most MP are members of a political party. The party with the
majority of elected MPs forms the government by assigning ministers to
some of that party's members. Each minister in the government covering
a department*. The most senior ministers are part of the Cabinet which is
responsible for government policy. The Prime Minister is an MP voted for
by members of the leading political party to be the country's and party's
executive leader.

*i.e. Schools, Health, Treasury, Scotland, etc.

Many people here in the UK would simply say... "People that are not to be trusted"

MPs are as trust worthy as the voters are good judges of people.
