Nest-feathering like never before; who do these greedy shits think they are? Who do they think they are kidding? "Home secretary says inadvertently claiming for two pornographic films was an 'embarrassing mistake' but it should not override 'good work' she has been doing" (link through image). Seriously, who is she trying to kid? Clearly the aim is to try and make out that it was only a video or two...if only! The myriad expense claim stories now coming out (and there is most definitely more to come) are getting almost tiresome! The dead cat bounce expected by the G20 boost for Brown has turned into a putrified-moving-by-maggot-power bounce as the latest poll "reveals huge public backlash over MPs' expenses". Is there anyone at Westminister actually in the job and doing the job for the benefit of their constituents or the country? Are they ALL a bunch of thieving, deceitful, immoral spongers?Obloquy: n. - abuse; disgrace.

I did like the comment that Jacqui Smith must spend all her spare time rooting around at the bottom of her handbag and down the back of the sofa (or several sofas in her case) trying to find justifiable expense receipts.
It's unbeleivable Paul, all of it and it's (seems to be) getting worse! They are ACTIVELY looking at ways to get as much as they can; that is NOT what the should be doing in fact that sort of thing shouldn't EVEN OCCUR to them.
The thing is we all know it's wrong, they know it's wrong and they know we know it's wrong but change is so slow. Jeremy Paxman interviewed a Labour MP (I think his name is Tony White) who raised this matter two years ago and nobody took him seriously, the poor guy was almost in tears of despair because he can see there is no will to change, it's all about soundbites.
...and the new soundbites are "it was within the rules", "I've done nothing wrong" and "XYZ is doing a good job and this is a minor issue"...
