Porn on Expenses

[jensaltmann]

At least in the UK

Jacqui Smith's husband watched porn while his wife was away. She accidentally put the bill on her expense account.

There are, I suspect, several reasons why she is not happy with her husband right now.

Oh my god! Ten whole pounds! Get the keys to the treasury!

Oi. This is a nonsense story, which is news only because it's PORN!, as the US version of the story I read mentioned buying 2 or 3 kids movies as an afterthought, even though they cost about the same amount, and because she's in hot water already for other expense related issues.

I for one, could do without this sort of "journalism" when we're still letting war criminals appear on national television to complain about the failings of the people who replaced them.

I don't mind this sort of journalism, because the story they reported makes me laugh out loud.
