MP expenses.....

Call me naive - you won't be the first, but I was gobsmacked over this story - not just because of the amounts involved - which are quite frightening, but then its an important job - but because they are being given such huge amounts of money for those MP's who have to maintain a home in their constituency. Well surely, if its their constituency, its their home? Is it so that people are MP's for an area in which they are not emotionally invested? Or don't have any strong links with? I guess it is true and I've been in denial all this time.

Oh well. I've always fancied a trip to Egypt.
