Expenses

Starfleet has a world-wide expense policy. (Actually it's probably Universe-wide, but GF has been stuck on this planet so far, and hasn't had a chance to try his hand at galactic per diems). It can be frustrating, but it's fair, it is transparent and it is rigourous.

Meanwhile in Parliament the scandal continues and the Speaker Michael martin has apologised for the problem (That's all right then. Nothing more to concern us). 

• This is the man who was to preside over a review of said expense policy - but was allegedly apopleptic at some proposed changes to the second homes allowance when it was pointed out that he had a Grace and Favour apartment and therefore didn't (shouldn't) need the allowance. 
• This is the man who has had over £700,000 spent on improvements to his apartment and nearly £992,000 on his garden.
  
• This is the man who claimed £4,000 in taxi bills for his wife.
• This is the man who tried to prevent the Freedom of Information act from including MPs expenses
• This is the man who over the past six years has enjoyed a total of 16 trips to destinations including Hawaii, the Bahamas, New York and Rome with his wife - at taxpayers' expense (Her travel bill alone for just 10 of the trips was £25,000)
• This is the man who blocked an FOI request for information regarding expenses for MPs' foreign trips

The Gorse Fox does not believe he should be made a scapegoat for the fraudulent activity of a large number of Right disHonourable Members - but he does think he should be sacked and lead the procession of sacked MPs that should surely follow to Tyburn.

Gorse Fox finds it difficult to express the disgust he feels towards those of the political class who have soiled Parliament with their bottom-feeding, self-serving greed.
