Typical isn’t it. Bloody snouts in the trough.

Thank god we are out of it. You would never get this sort of thing at Westminster……

Well there are some differences, of course. a/ the figures for our MPs were tiny in comparison b/ they were forced into the open relatively easily c/ some MPs were actually prosecuted as a result and d/ the taxpayer actually had redress against the worst MPs in the form of being able to vote them out if they so chose.
