Something caught my eye tonight when I was quickly scanning the BBC news page: Jail over £5,500 benefits fraud

As you might imagine, I agree with that. Scam the system, take our money, and pay for it. The thing is, only a few months ago – an MP called Derek Conway did the same thing with a lot more money (something like £40,000 over three years) which he was forced to pay back £13,161.

So from this you can surmise our political system is corrupt. If you’re an MP it’s ok to abuse the taxpayers and take our money for your own lazy son, paying him for work you can’t prove he’s done. If we were a fair and just society, he would be spending about a year in prison right now, don’t you think?

Once it was just the way that things were done in America. Now it might just happen here in Europe. I say ‘Europe’ because apparently we’re a “bloc” now – strains of socialism creeping in here, getting me a little worried. Comrade.

From the MSNBC post entitled ‘EU proposes fingerprinting visitors‘:

The European Union’s top justice official proposed Friday to replicate U.S. border security measures in Europe with plans to fingerprint and electronically record the entry and exit of all visitors to the 27-nation bloc.

This is a Justice official! I thought that Justices were supposed to sit and judge on points of the law and so on, not propose new laws, isn’t that the job of the politicians?
