Police to Investigate MP's Expenses

The details of MP's expenses were officially released this week with almost all of the 'juicy' details blacked out. This just goes to show how far the cover-up goes; it's a good job that the Daily Telegraph got hold of the uncensored details. And finally, the police are going to investigate a small number of MP's and peers - about time too!!

UK Politicians Morally Bankrupt

It's an utter disgrace! The Daily Telegraph has revealed, early, what several cabinet ministers and other leading politicians have been claiming for. It makes for sorry reading and, worst of all, they're all saying that it was within the rules!! That's as may be, but it's no excuse for taking the piss like they seem to be doing! (Although I do have some sympathy for John Prescott - as someone with a fat arse, I can appreciate the need for a second new toilet seat in a year; they just don't make 'em like they used to!!)
