Reckless Behaviour

Reporting on the fact that one MP got drunk and another was rude, the Mail also mentions the fact that House of Commons bars took £5,000 on the night of the Budget vote.

Tellingly:
"There we were, voting through the most drastic Budget in decades, and some MPs barely knew............what they were voting for....."
 No change there then!

Surely the point of the story - not mentioned - is the amount of money the taxpayer contributed by subsidising the price of drinks in the House of Commons?


Afterthought: Perhaps the Commons is where they filmed this? It also gives a hint as to how we should get rid of MPs we don't want together with their 'baggage'!
