documenting the trough

A little good news from Westminster that should reduce the amount of our money that the little piggies can stuff in their pockets. From April the 1st MPs will have to produce receipts for any expenses claim greater than £25.

Certainly a good thing, though the members of the fig-leaf parliament of our true government (the one in Brussels, or Strasbourg depending on which week of the month it is) will still be able to gorge themselves on their expenses without ever having to produce any kind of receipts.
