Ms Smith Strikes Again

Our Jaqui, the Home Secretary, just can't keep her name out of the papers at the moment. It is bad enough that she seems able to conjure up the most crackpot ideas at a whim (see earlier post), and announce with little or no evidence that we are in immanent peril from mad mullahs and ID thieving criminal networks. Oh no. And there is not just the second home allowance of over £60,000, even though should could stay rent free in a grace and favour home due to her ministerial position. It appears she claimed expenses, paid for by us, so that her husband could watch a couple of "adult" movies. Mr Timney, of course Ms Smith kept her own name, very New Labour, is also his wife's Parlimenatry aide, a job I would imagine that is also paid for by me and you, Mr and Mrs Tax Payer. Of course once the mistake was revealed the money was paid back immediately. Isn't it grand to know, as the rest of us are forced to tighten our belts, and sacrifice the small pleasures we have, your hard earned brass is going to not only on the upkeep and employ of Jaqui and her family, but we can still chuck in a few quid so her old fella can knock out a swift one. Gob bless 'em.....
