A last thought on the MPs expenses saga. Doesnt it make you sick when you see certain government ministers on television proposing ever tighter regulations on 'benefit cheats' when they are all cheating the system on a bigger annual basis then most benefit claiments could ever dream of.
And I suspect that the reason why the official opposition doesnt really havea lot to say on this issue is because, as the editor of the Conservative supporting Spectator magazine points out in one of todays sunday papers, the current system of MPs expenses came into being during the premiership of the blessed Margaret Thatcher.
One thing is for certain, if as I have heard, The Daily Telegraph paid £150, 000 for the details of MPs expenses they certainly got their moneys worth.
Which is more then the rest of us do from the current inhabitants of Westminster.
