We know for a fact that these English ladies and gentlemen are blessed because, if not, most of them would be hanging from trees in Hyde Park.
It was that awful publication, The Daily Telegraph, that spread the vicious rumor about these Proud to be English and God Save the Queen debaters' adding the purchases of dog food and toilet brushes and thousands of pounds' worth of home improvements to their already inflated expense accounts.
A second home allowance of £24,000 is an extremely generous allowance. But wait, some of these honest-as-the day-is-long public servants switched things around for their first and second homes so they could fix-up the little place at, you guessed it, your expense. That was naughty indeed.
I guess poor Brown's group were the worst offenders, with Cameron's gang coming in second. But with only two horses in the race there couldn't be a third place.
The real villain in all this, at least according to the MPs, is of course The Daily Telegraph. It seems the paper paid for this information and therefore it was stolen information.
Thank God, we North Americans don't have to worry about petty bullshit like this.
Kill me if you can,
