One Less Bit of Junk Mail

November 4th, 2009 at 12:32 pm

MPs no longer allowed to send us junk mail with our own money. YAY!

Christopher Kelly, I could kiss you.

He’s recommended the end of the Communications Allowance – a £10k a year grant allowing MPs to have glossy leaflets delivered to their constituents explaining just how completely awesome they are. Needless to say, I was not amused.

Ending this travesty – MPs helping themselves to our money to send us spam to promote themselves – is very welcome. One less bit of Junk Mail, too.

Today might actually be a good day.

    Amen to that. I thought this was an excellant bit of news a £10,000 slush fund set up by a desparate Labour government spooked by what Ashcroft was doing outside of an electoral cycle has been ditched.
