It just get's funnier and funnier. If you wrote it as a script for "Yes Minister" it would have been binned. Maybe reality TV does have it's place! Imagine the wife of Ken Follett, wealthy author feeling afraid and she has to get us, the tax payer to make her feel secure.
Doesn't it just warm your heart the a nurse's salary has been spent making her feel safe, or three nurse's have been used to furnish Keith Vaz's home or another way of looking at it 150000 bullet proof vests. The galling point of all of this is, they all say "it's all in the rules", does that make it right? Especially when they wrote the rules! It cannot be right to claim £25000 pa to furnish a home when a reasonable wage is less than that. Why should I pay for a Flat screen TV when I haven't bought one myself.
If I claim from work I have to show invoices and it has to be a justifiable business expense, heaven only knows that the Revenue will scrutinise it all and disallow and possibly fine me if not legitimate. MP's, we make our rules and you don't even have to show expenditure for £250 or less.
Let's just flush the whole sorry lot down the nearest drain and start again, bet Fly Blown Brown is clinging on just to milk every penny he can get before he has to call an election.

You are right of course... but since when have the two words 'honest' and 'politician' ever gone hand in glove?
They are all at it.. I see Claire Short has been at it now... and can you blame them if has been 'the done thing' for years? A perk of the job?
They all need sacking, and then to be made to pay the whole lot back - every penny.
They are worse than benefit thieves, because they are all rich by any comparison. I just wonder why it has been allowed to carry on for so long?
