Bizarre!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it a little bizarre that three former MPs who are accused of fiddling their expenses are going to get legal aid! It's been reported pretty widely, such as here.

Legal aid is paid for by the taxpayer.

MPs' expenses are paid for by the taxpayer.

MPs are paid a salary that most of us would envy - ooh, hang on, that's paid for with our taxes too, isn't it?

Most peculiar - it's an Alice in Wonderland moment, isn't it?!
