A response from Ann Keen about her expenses at last!!

I admit my e-mail to her may have been harsh but i have been waiting six months for a response.Dear Mrs Keen,Are you just plain scared to meet potential voters who may ask why they are subsidising your second home? I just cannot understand why you refuse to return my emails letters and faxes on this subject unless you feel ashamed in some way? Regards Paul FisherAnd her response as follows,Dear Mr Fisher Thank you for your inquiry. The issue of expenses remains is clear. It was aLabour government that called the new legislation which allows transparancy sovoters can see what MP's claim. I fully supported this legilsation and votedaccordingly. I have always operated within the rules of Parliament and will continue to doso. Yours sincerely ANN KEEN So i take it the Covent Garden pad is staying if she gets re-elected!

There is no reason why she needs to have this sort of level of expenses. Greater London MPs should have minimal expenses and she ought to be using the tube and the trains like the rest of us.I can only say that she DISGUSTS me.  She has no excuse at all.This letter is just another example of her arrogance.

Paul Maybe Ann Keen lives in one of the homes and Alan Keen lives in the other.

Agreed Phil she did seem to evade my question somewhat so i have sent another e-mail asking her to respond in plain English just why she feels justified in fleecing us all for a second home.I expect if she is re-elected the next e-mail will again come from Anita Ralli her secretary fobbing me off again.Perhaps i will just have to ask her face to face at the Civic Centre tomorrow night?
