Yes yet another one bites the dust. Among this individual's claims are:

�730 for a massage chair because of a back problem.

How many out there with back trouble, could trot along to their GP and get a free prescription for a massage chair?

You would still have to fork out �7.20 for a few pain killing tablets.

�2,600 for a home cinema system, including a 40in flat-screen television - which was halved by officials after it was first rejected.

And �65 for a court summons for not paying council tax, which he has agreed to repay.

And this is the 'Justice Minister' no less that is a contradiction of terms if you like.

But Brown in his wisdom states that he won't be replacing him yet, so it looks as if he is keeping his job open for him to return.

and here's the latest one, oldgit:

Senior Labour MP Fraser Kemp... billed the taxpayer over �100 for calling an engineer to look at his washing machine when he could not work it, only for the repairman to diagnose that Kemp had left it on rinse hold.

So we have to pay extra for MPs who are morons. Dear oh dear.
