We've paid for Labour's morality for too long

I've never really been a huge fan of Charles Moore, at the Torygraph, but today he has written a concise and devastating piece on the outrage of British MPs milking the Parliamentay expenses system, at massive cost to the taxpayer.

He gets in all of the key wounding points (e.g. a Chancellor imposing stamp duty on everyone's housing transactions but avoiding it himself by changing his "second home" designation four times in as many years) but does it in a calm rational way that Maturin Towers often struggles to emulate, due to its being flooded by too much raw emotion.

It is an excellent article.

Bravo, sir!
