Daily Food Allowances :

School Children, Armed Forces, Prisoners, MPs

Dizzy had a piece that struck Guido as demonstrating where our politician's real priorities lie. Guido has turned it into an easy to understand graphic. Take a look at the average spending allowances per day on food as voted for by politicians. According to the government, Army and RAF personnel (on base) get £1.63 per day spent on them, and the Navy (when in port), gets £1.78 per day. Schoolchildren in state schools now get on average some 50p up from 37p since Jamie Oliver. (Admittedly for only one lunch meal, but it is still nevertheless revealing.)

Now compare that with the average spend per day on food for prisoners. £1.87. Those in a Young Offenders' Institute get a budget of £3.81 per day, over double the armed forces. How much do politicians get? £20 per day, no receipts required. 12 times as much as a soldier. Can it be any clearer where their real priorities lie?

They are literally gorging themselves in the trough at the taxpayers expense whilst heroes go short.

Food allowance is a small niblet in the trough , And the Parliaments restaurants are subsidised

Travel allowance

PA allowance (often a family member)

2nd home mortgage allowance

Gold plated pension

Expenses

Stationary/mail allowance

then there are the second or third jobs in which they prostitute their position for financial gain ...

£20 a day is small beer .......... or maybe a large Bordeaux

wheres Osama when you need him
