Claiming energy for a second property (which is increasing in value and whose interest on the loan to buy it has already been paid for by taxpayers) is theft 'pure and simple' No employee should be entitled to anything other than a salary appropriate to their role, which in the case of most back-benchers would be the average UK salary of circa £35000, simply put they are not worth anything more than that, unless lying, stealing and general dishonesty are paid traits.
