Re: It goes on and on - they never get off the gravy train
I didn't know about the public duties cost allowance paid by the taxpayer. and I am somewhat surprised and I don't understand why the taxpayer should be paying for this. If an ex PM does a bit of public speaking at the invitation of an organisation, then surely the organisation inviting them to speak should pay the costs, not the taxpayer.Re: It goes on and on - they never get off the gravy train

It gets even worse: Did anyone else on here know this ???Re: It goes on and on - they never get off the gravy train
I have just done a bit of research and apparently after a series of small strokes in March 2002 Maggie Thatcher announced that she had resigned from public speaking - How can she have been entitled to claim any public speaking allowance over the last 5 years.Re: It goes on and on - they never get off the gravy train
I had no idea that this was happening. When my mother in law applied for attendance allowance because she just couldn't help herself always and lives alone they put her through a means test to make sure she didn't have a certain amount of savings. She is 83, I wonder how much ma Thatcher is worth.Re: It goes on and on - they never get off the gravy train
