Why do we subsidise MPs meals?

 A subsided canteen is great for those on a small wage. However I cannot understand what we are paying just under £6 million to subsidise the luxurious meals, beer, and champaign of MPs. 

 

These pampered people are paid over £60,000, much more if they are ministers, and are able to claim thousands more a month for their food. 

 

Why the hell should the hardworking taxpayer, many on minimum wage, pay Even more toward their steak and bubbly?

 

They are well paid enough to pay for their own meals. They can cry about the expense of living in London or the like. The simple truth is this: they knew the amount MPs were paid when they clamoured to become MPs. If that's not good enough for them then they shouldn't have stood and should stand down and allow someone else to 'struggle' on sixty grand plus expenses. 

 

These cosseted knaves have no understanding of the real world.
