Duck Islands!!! Isn't this surely fraud?

Probably. I think the Kaufman example was the most obvious. He bought an antique carpet and a bit of section 3 of the Green Book says that one of the furnishing things not allowable is antiques!

fraud???? i need a second home you know. . i need somewhere to duck off to. ducking hell. give a duck some space please,

anyway ive sold it now at a massive profit. so say what you like. its water off a sacked ducks back.

john b up above is right. who authorised these payments. im sure that if you or i were allowed to claim for stupid extras, we might think its a bit odd at first but after a while you go along with the tide. everyone is doing it. everyone gets away with it so why not?

its wrong. it has to be stopped . its fraudulent. they all knew what they were doing.. government needs to be changed. rules need to be changed. oh and while we're at it we could have an election.

If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck - it's probaby a duck.

some of the things these people have put on expenses beggars belief.you can just imagine it.."what do you want the money for?Oh to clean the moat.No problem,you sure that's enough?Ok see you next week"What i don't understand is, no one is asking the people who authorised the payments why they did it.

you would have thought so wouldnt you>

Maybe the ducks form part of his constituency and he was trying to buy their votes?

Yes and this bastard should be prosecuted by the police.

Ja.
