Stop Whining, Start Signing
My my my what a busy first day back at school it's been. Researchers and bag-carriers, who have pretty much had the Palace to themselves all summer, have been taken somewhat aback by the various shit-storms that have broken this morning. Those gin sodden afternoons on the terrace must seem like a world away right now.
Most of the trauma seems to be coming from the fact that Thomas Legg is actually doing his job properly and thus enforcing the rules. There seems to be much discontent, and even a whiff of rebellion in the air as MPs, right the way up to Gordon, are complaining that the rules have been changed retrospectively. This is utter bullshit though. One overbearing rule that has always been there was that any expense claim must have been "wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred for the purposes of carrying out their duties as an MP." This isn't a new rule, this was the rule. It seems a few home truths are starting to hurt.
Stop whining and get out the chequebook.

Yes this invasion of unwashed drum-beating bores is monstrous unfair, life was quite rosy without them. And then there are the eco-terrorists... Ah for those long-ago halcyon days on the terrace!
No Legg letter in this office as yet. Perhaps he's been getting timing tips from X Factor.
Get out the chequebook? I think they should be looking at a whole new, but simple, wardrobe, preferable one with arrows on, the bunch of thieves.
It really is such a chore having to account for wining & dining one's mistresses - a man can hardly galavant at all in Mr Legg's world. Tish, tish and thrice tish.
