A Son of the Rock

What can you say about the Jacqui Smith affair?

One odd thing occurred to me, though.

Bizarrely, most of the coverage I have seen concentrated on the fact the expenses claim had included on it two porn films. But there were other (non porn) films on the same invoice. Why are these more acceptable?

Apparently MPs can claim for cable TV in their “second” home.

For what possible reason?

Internet and telephone I can understand. Arguably MPs need to keep in touch with constituents, their office and the like and these are perfectly reasonable ways to go about it.

But cable TV?

How on Earth does access to cable TV help an MP to do his or her job?….
