THE latest scandal with Jacqui Smith's husband watching adult movies at the taxpayers’ expense only proves one thing: MPs just claim for everything regardless of the taxpayer.
They are very unlikely to get caught and when they do they plead error and oversight.
The only good thing about this oversight was the embarrassment factor, otherwise it would not have left a mark on the thick skin that seems to be a requisite for being a MP.
