Liam Fox was not our MP over here in BC&I and in any case he is a puppy compared to to the K££ns Reminder from the Evening Standard ""the grasping Keens" claimed around £140,000 over five years on MP's expenses for their second London home, a luxury flat in Westminster. What angered voters, though, was not only that their main house was just nine miles from Parliament but that both of them claimed interest on the £520,000 mortgage which, although not against the rules, was regarded by some as an outrageous abuse of the system. Since the Keens bought this apartment in 2002 for £500,000, its value has risen to £750,000, a windfall that the Keens no doubt hope to use to fund their retirement" |
