  What a pity, deary-deary me, what it is to be an MP and more over what a crying-shame it was in the recent past. The Country repeatedly said to be on the up-and-up: a story they all were cajoled and whipped to maintain. The nation awash with easy money and yet not much on the wage-rise front for those in the commons. Add to this the pressure on the lobby-fodder to approve bill after bill: DNA data-base, ID cards, wars of aggression. How could any of this be managed?
  Ah, I've got it. Somebody MUST have said. Let us use our imaginations and wallow in the gaping maw of the public purse. "Claim it on expenses dear boy."
  Cut to today.
  Little has changed. Many of the old-guard are leant on day-in-day-out to sanction the most unpalatable stuff. Fortunately each knows that power is hard to come by and the likely result of the next election far from certain. So many have to grin and bear it. Yet, nobody likes to see a chap down in the mouth; not a chap one will all too soon have to rely upon, anyway. As luck would have it the general ill-wind that sweeps the nation is such that what a chap may lose on the swings he gains on the roundabout. All is well.
  Time for the 'leader' and his 'deputy' to swan off on their hols.
