Government corruption...

...revealed in the expenses Ministers and Members of Parliament have been claiming, is horrific. What kind of moral universe do these people inhabit? Of course some of the ways they have been fiddling expenses to get the maximum out of taxpayers' money are quite amusing, in a ghastly kind of way. One MP claimed £7,000 for gardening, another didn't like the decorative ceiling of her new home so claimed public funding for it to be replaced...and the way they've all been claiming for gigantic quantities of food!! They and their families must have the most gargantuan appetites...exceeded only by their ability to rush about from house to house as the MP designates first this, and then another, residence as the "main home" in order for it to be funded by the taxpayer. Oh, and many of these describe themselves as "socialists"

No use saying "Ah, all politicians are just cheats" or "Oh, it's the system". No. The system is this: those who, currently holding Government office, have been telling untruths and cheating to get money from public funds should be sacked by the Prime Minister. Now. And if that doesn't happen, we get the chance to sack the PM and the present Government at a General Election. That's the system. Take note, and act accordingly.
