Wirral voters’ anger at MPs expenses scandal

May 20 2009 by Lorna Hughes, Birkenhead News

Others were less forgiving and said they were angry Mr Chapman had apparently claimed the taxpayer-funded allowances when they were struggling to live on low wages and pensions.

John Caldecott, 65, a retired Levers worker from Bebington, said: “I think it’s a disgrace when people are living on less money than that a year and people like me are getting pensions of £9,000 a year.

“I think all the MPs should be prosecuted in the same way I would be if I was claiming benefits I wasn’t entitled to.”

Susan Dale, 48, also of New Ferry, called for Mr Chapman to stand down at the next election.

She said: “I won’t be voting for anyone now.”
