Do our pols get to claim 'expenses' like their UK brethren? Many of the UK pols readily admit that they are afraid to raise their salaries so they use expense claims to fiddle the system. Would only our own msm do some investigative reporting like they do over in UK. It's a shame that our reporters care more about staying in the loop than publishing scoops. i have been following the expenses scandal. Do our pols get to claim ‘expenses’ like their UK brethren?
