Jacqui Smith is turning Blue with Rage

I know, I know, the woman took £114,000 over the last few years claiming expenses for her sisters house which she rarely used as a London home, but earth-shattering news has just come to light whereby she claimed for her husband's pornography, too!
I'm going to do some elementry calculation. There are approximately 65million people in the country, and these two films cost £10. That means that Jacqui Smiths' husband cost the citizens of this country, on average, 0.0000015pence. Now THIS is something to get worked up about. This is the real issue. This is the crux of the problem facing the country today.
There are more serious issues this raises though. Smiths' husband watched the film Oceans 13 twice, at a cost to the taxpayer of £6. But Oceans 13 is a terrible film. How on earth can we have elected people who are married to people with such poor taste in entertainment?
OK, so this isn't much of a post, but let's face it - this is funny. I can't decide whether the gutterpress's moralising is more amusing than the fact that the films were watched in the first place, or the fact that everyone's getting worked up about a ten-thousandth of a penny, or ignoring the fact that crime's gone through the roof in the last 12 years whilst the Government has blatantly lied to our faces, or Jacqui Smith nicking the £114,000 for the house itsel in the first place.
Perhaps it's just raw irony. Jacqui Smith, the person who seemingly wants to track and log every single bit of our online comunication, our telephone calls, our text messages, our email addresses, has been caught herself. Privacy eh, who needs it?
