MPs Expenses - What's the fuss?

People are understandably annoyed about British MPs abusing the spirit of the law by claiming for all sorts of unnecessary expenses.

Doctor Pon's not really that bothered though, because he doesn't pay tax in Britain. But he is slightly annoyed that he didn't think of becoming an MP to take advantage of it himself. Too late now.

Frankly, tax-paying Brits should be grateful. At least British MPs pretend that they are sorry and offer to repay the money.
In one medium sized Asian country (which rhymes with Pie-land) politicians usually treat becoming a law-maker as a right to steal.

Doctor Pon is sorry that this isn't particularly funny. It is true though.


Edit: Members of Parliament - MPs or MsP?
and for that matter GCsSE too.
