And as this is the vent and rant thread, there's at least one smaller party that very definitely seems to be, and I don't mean the Monster Raving Loony Party, either |
I think my favourite was the claim for moat cleaning (from a Conservative I think). In some ways though, I can understand it - we all know how expensive it can be to have your moat cleaned
I just heard on the news that some of the MP's who are being charged for fiddling their expenses (allegedly!) are being allowed to claim legal aid for their defence. So the taxpayers, the people they defrauded (allegedly!), are footing the bill to try to get them off the charge! Ain't the justice system great?
