I am annoyed. It is seemingly OK for MPs like Maria Miller to scam thousands out of the tax payer, while ordinary people are sent to jail if they make a similar mistake with their benefits claim (although they’d have to be doing it for decades to get as much). Nobody seems to agree on what to do with Miller, so here’s a suggestion:
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
It seems that her expenses claims are fake.
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
She’s just another MP on the take.
How can they say we’re all in it together If she can dodge the laws that catch us all?
If she’d claimed JSA Or even ESA They’d sanction her, then send the police to call.
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
Prosecute her. Prosecute them all.
