My Two Pence

Jacqui Smith is back defending her position as Home Secretary after more damaging disclosures about her use of Parliamentary expenses.  The most recent piss take by the home secretary is that she “mistakenly” claimed back expenses for two porn films allegedly watched by her husband?!

 

Smith’s husband, Richard Timney, who is also Smiths aide apologised for the “embarrassment” caused to Smith and promised to repay the £10 film charges.

 

It was a Virgin Media bill that was apparently inadvertently submitted by Timney for expenses.  The bill included the porn film charges and a £67 internet connection charge.

 

Gordon Brown has given Smith his full support saying:

 

“The Home Secretary is doing a great job and I do not think this issue should be allowed to detract from everything she is doing to ensure we protect the public and keep our neighbourhoods safe.  She has done the right thing by taking steps to rectify the mistake that was made as soon as she became aware of it.  This is very much a personal matter for Jacqui. She has made her apology, her husband has made clear that he has apologised. The best thing is that Jacqui Smith gets on with her work, which is what she wants to do.”

 

This is not the first time that Smith has been in the spotlight regarding expenses and many think that she should now stand down.  

 

As the rest of Britain deal with the recession, people losing their homes and jobs, it becomes very frustrating to hear what a joke some of our politicians are making of our tax money.
