“I guess it’s who you know, not what you know”

isn’t that the same in all walks of life though? Just for the most of us it’s not out there for all the public to see

That’s chicken feed though. An average Joe would lead a fairly boring existence on that in London. 

thats one fat chicken for a man with no mortgage and suchlike.

I dont agree. Its a nice steady income for the common man who lives a somewhat frugal lifestyle but pennies if you're used to living a middle to upper class lifestyle.

Politicians and expensive wallpaper must be a habit !!.

Maybe change the law, so that MPs get to choose a supplier, shame we've not got MFI or that really awful stuff Argos/Index sold back in the 80/90s.

 

Might make them a little more grateful.

I know it sounds really strange, but how about they buy their own wallpaper using their wages. Then it wouldn't matter what it cost.

They get an allowance per year as it's a state apartment or however you describe it, can't have Mrs Merkel or Macron dossing it in a student style flat could we 🙂.

 

I bet Ted heath, Thatcher, Gordon & major spent around fifty quid between them on paint in the whole time they were there.

It's quite a lot too isn't it, about £30k? Must be trashed and need it after al the parties!!

30k in central London probably equates to around 10k for us mortals. Maybe it all those spilled takeaway and claret stains on the carpet ?.
