The following is a list of the 70 MPS who felt is perfectly correct to appeal to Sir Thomas Legg over being asked to repay their expenses. These are the people who have, mostly, cited the defence that because the rules didn't say they couldn't, they shouldn't have to repay it.
These are the people that earn at least £65,000 per year of our money. Ministers will earn at least £100,000 a year of our money.
These are the people that think that because they earn that money, good money and in many cases a good fours times the average salary in this country, they cannot afford to keep their garden, or that they don't have to pay the same taxes as other people, or that the people of this country should pay their mortgage for them.

I've highlighted just some of the more infamous claims, but all of them are complete bastards. Simply because the rules did not say not to, does not mean that you should.
Here is a spreadsheet of the amounts claimed just in second home allowances.
Here is the full list of every MP and what they stole from you, although they don't really want you to get a nice round number so they provide a labyrinth of paperwork.
There is a case for an MP, like anyone else, to claim monies for stationary, or travel on business. Most here though claim their mortgages and food, not to mention renovation, gardening, and repair. Why am I paying the £100 food bill of someone who earns £60,000 plus a year (not including directorships and speeches)?
If you live in the above 70 constituencies then I suggest writing to them, addresses and details can be found here, and telling them exactly what you think. Then I would suggest not voting for them as a minimum, voting for their rival if needs be in order to remove them.
ADD: This is the report as to the action to be taken, found here. The most disturbing thing is that Gerry Adams 'has no issues'.

Arrogant, thieving, unprincipled fucks.
I hope they all die agonising, drawn-out deaths.
In their guilded cages they hear no noise so think the heat is off!
Come election time they may get a shock but something tells me too many people have a vested interest in keeping the status quo...and I dont mean the band!
WV-prowed....yes I am.
The ral scum are the holier than thouu people like that cunt Widdecombe who think that it's all populist nonsense and that blowing a view hundred getting the garden done up on expenses is perfectly normal and okay.
What other profession, seriously, would you earn say 70k a year then be allowed to earn whatever you want on top of that, then get the mortgage paid on your crash paid and then get the fucking garden and TV on the fucking expenses!
Do they need a garden to do their job? No. Do they earn enough to pay the fucking cleaner themselves? Yes.
That's all anyone is saying at the end of the day.
If you live in the above 70 constituencies then I suggest writing to them, addresses and details can be found here,
Thats a bit revolutionary- steady on.
A-ha. A-hahahaha.
Anon, would you have me write 'Track them down and kick their faces in' and then get done for incitement when a dead MP turns up?
Phoning them up and breathing funny is more your style though.
The thing that gets me about the whole expenses scandal is that the lot of them really don't give a flying fuck what we think.
They really don't. The bastards.
