The British Class System Lives!!
While this has nothing to do with Gentle Action it may amuse you.
Do the British still maintain a class system? The scandal that is rocking the British parliament concerning expenses claimed by Members of Parliaments would appear to suggest that the class system is still running at full blast!!.
Among the items claimed – and paid for – at taxpayers’ expense are:
Labour MPs
two new toilet seats
diapers
a fridge
floor tiles
an ice cube tray
a baby carriage
porn movies for spouse
mock Tudor beams for house
hanging flower baskets
plugs for bathtubs
Conservative MPs
hanging a chandelier
maintaining the tennis courts
cleaning the moat
having the piano tuned
horse manure for the roses (380 pounds sterling)
maintaining a cottage in the grounds
hiring a mole catcher
cleaning the swimming pool
maintaining the helipad
mowing the paddocks
removing lichen from walls
And the Liberal Democrats’?
They claimed for:
a rocking chair
a feather duster
a trouser press
a lampshade
a toilet brush
bus tickets
Hob Nob biscuits
