I know there have been a lot of column inches devoted to this subject recently, but I really have to stick my oar in here and say Duck houses. I mean, really,
Fecking Duck houses.
Ok, so you become a politician and have been told by the powers that be that you can claim on what ever you want, its really just another bit of your salary that you are allowed to have, and then people really take the piss by claiming for moats and duck houses and boost bars and all kinds of shite that really you wouldnt expect on ayones tax return, except, perhaps the queen.
I dont have a massive problem with it, to be fair, except for the fact that they are wasting MY money, which could be going towards MY duck house, MY moat and MY boost bar. Thats the cheekiest thing of it all. And they arent really being held to account at all. All they need do is say Sorry and hand back the money,
If anyone else had abused power like that, they would be held up to account pretty damn quick and would lose pretty much everything they had ever owned, including their soul.
Politicians, are, obviously a different breed, for a start, dont have a soul, neither, it seems, do they have any type of accountability, they are almost like bankers in their ability to pass blame off on someone else.
Heck, if I had claimed expenses like them, Id be in the brig, the dog house, and my life would have been turned upside down by government and tax employed monkeys who would make my like HELL.
What we should do now is go to the politicians and make their lives hell. Oh… so they have had some measure of it with the Telegraph publishing their lives, but really, they deserve more. Lets make their lives Hell.
Havent decided how, just yet, let me think on it….
Well, ducks aside I’ve completed the microdermabrasion treatment section. It’s now far more up to date with the entire website as a whole I think. I’m starting work on the running shoes site next week, so have a look now so that you can notice the changes as they happen. Also, I did find this blog post about Enigin that was quite good - have a look if you are bored and killing time.
