A little controversy on this gentleman:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10047884/Twenty-MPs-pocket-up-to-180000-each-on-taxpayer-funded-second-homes.html

'Ronnie Campbell, a Labour MP, made £90,000 on the sale of his Kennington flat in 2011.

"I have invested it for my grandkids. That [money] is mine, that's mine, I put a £15,000 deposit down on that flat. We did make a profit, properties do go up [in value], but it's mine."

He said that his mortgage payments were signicantly cheaper to the taxpayer than renting a flat, as he does now. He said: "By throwing me out on the British streets like a dog in the night, the taxpayer has lost a lot of money.'

Is this worth considering for addition? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.226.19.138 (talk) 11:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-05-10T11:29:00.000Z","author":"151.226.19.138","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-151.226.19.138-2013-05-10T11:29:00.000Z-Controversy_Relating_To_Profit_From_Home_Sale?","replies":[]}}-->

Checking out this story, it is from The Telegraph - hardly a Labour loving newspaper? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.55.254 (talk) 10:31, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-01-22T10:31:00.000Z","author":"78.150.55.254","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-78.150.55.254-2016-01-22T10:31:00.000Z-Controversy_Relating_To_Profit_From_Home_Sale?","replies":[]}}-->
