What he called a "whoops-a-daisy" moment - apparently failing to spot a flaw in his own financial arrangements. His family firm - founded by his father to publish maps - has received £445,000 since 1996 from EU coffers. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7437493.stm  |

Politicians are above the law, some of the stories about “expenses” that have been claimed are bloody ludicrous. It’s basically theft or fraud or whatever you want to call it.
To the average joe in the public you’d be in court before you know it, if you’re an MP there’s all kinds of bureaucracy going on and they seem to get away with it.
Fucking scandalous.

Do you really think that’s going to happen though?
In an ideal world – yes.
In the world we live in – hell no.

Wasn’t there that case recently where that MP paid his son (or sons) thousands of pounds for work that he had absolutely no evidence whatsoever was actually carried out? I’m sure he wasn’t made to pay it back or punished by the justice system.
You’d think if you were using thousands of pounds of taxpayers cash to pay your sons to carry out work you’d keep records and proof to cover yourself (if you were an honest, stand up individual that is).
Bent as fuck most mp’s.
They all kicked off recently when they were trying to make their expense claims public record. If you’ve got nothing to hide what’s the problem.
Using our taxes to buy themselves houses and give their relatives cash.
Fucking stinks.
