UK Parliamentary Expenses

The news today that the cost of IPSA -- the body set up to police Westminster parliamentary expenses -- will be six times the total amount MPs have been found to have over claimed, tells us all we need to know about left-wing liberal “big government”.
And that’s six times the amount just in the first year, until common sense sees to it that the quango is abolished.
Compare that with the cost to taxpayers of exposing the allegations in the first place, which was precisely zero, because everything was brought to light by a free press -- the Daily Telegraph in particular -- something which the liberal left also secretly despises.
