Quacking Up

Overall the expense scandal (? mortgagegate, flippergate) is sad. It undermines the political system as it discredits politicians. However there are moments that have to make you smile. I love that most of the dubious claims are completely on line with any stereotypes that we may hold about each party. Todays is a case in point. Only a conservative MP could be caught with his hands in the till for charging a floating duck island on expenses.
