Scandal

After months of revelations about lavish US bankers salaries and bonuses, now the UK is in revolt over "expenses" claimed by its already well-paid ministers.

What's the scandal? Why, that the British have such better quotes than we do. To wit:
'He must be handed the pearl revolver.'

'I did not come into politics not to take what is owed to me.'

"At best, he has the air of being a bemused passenger in the car crash of an institution the Commons has become."

Taxpayers financed moat-clearing projects, swimming pools, hanging chandeliers horse manure.
No mention of Topiary expenses though perhaps the moat was cleared for a future Topiary garden. One can only hope.

Moo!

It's quite a comedy isn't it - or a tragedy...

Lulu: Cow thinking the comedy has just begun, with them having to pay back their ill-gotten gains!

Moo!

I love the naughtiness of the UK politicians. Deep down they are just boys in mens clothing.

Sadly, it wasn't just the naughty boys, there were a fair number of women involved in this scandal!

TC, Im sure there were some gardening and hedge trimming claims!
