Well Jacqui...In for a penny: in for a pound ot seems

I was bit amused by revalations in the Sunday papers today about Jacqui Smith's husband, Richard Timney buying pornography and claiming it as her MP's expenses. I thought long and hard about how I would be able to do a serious article about her flagrant disregard for the public purse. I decided to give up my plans in the end because whatever way I looked at the story, I kept degenerating to inuendo and puns, the ilk of which a tabloid writer would I'm sure be proud. What occurs to me (and I know it sounds a bit "holier than thou") is that poor, beleagured Jacqui who is already facing and enquiry about claiming inappropriate expenses for a second home, might be better off if she spent a bit of quality (or cheap) time at her real home with her husband. Take a break Jacqui, I'm sure the Home Office will survive without you for a couple of weeks and lets face it...it couldn't get any worse, could it?
