Media find out that there's no Virgin on Jacqui Smith's TV!

Jacqui Smith has been caught out again. I wonder what it is with this woman that she can't fill in an expense form properly. She's in hot water again because her husband has been caught out watching "adult" movies on TV at home whilst she was out trying to count up illegal immigrants and check on absconding rapists. Now I'm not bothered about what hubby gets up to whilst she's out of the house. That's not the point. The point is that she is already up her neck in trouble over a second home scam. You'd think she'd have the wit to tell whoever was filling in these forms to read the wretched details first. Yes, she can claim for an internet connection - No, she can't claim for the movies that 'Im in Doors is watching.

Virgin Media is quite open about what you pay for. If you rent two films, then two films come up on the statement. Didn't it occur to the form filler to check if watching these films was covered by expenses? Or to query it, at least?

We can't keep on with this "Oh, I was tired!", Oh, I forgot!" or "Oh, I overlooked it!" rubbish. The "I've done nothing wrong" bit does not wash anymore. Everyone is clamouring for change. Cloth-eared Brown is moving like an intoxicated snail towards some sort of "inquiry". We need it sorted - NOW!

All that has happened because of Jacqui Smith's incompetence is that she and her husband find themselves in an embarrassing fix. If she'd bothered to shape up, we'd never know her husband watches porno flicks!

Pop her on the DNA Database. Guilty until proven innocent is the maxim for everybody else, so why not Ms Smith?

And, after all, she's terribly keen on the DNA Database, so should be happy to take her place on it.

She should take pole position, then?

There's generally an accountant who signs these things off. Actually two. One who posts it against her budget and one who does the other side of the double entry.

And then there is the auditor who comes along and checks that they are doing their jobs.

This is a lot of people not doing their jobs.

In the face of the banking crisis, pointing fingers is like the emperor yelling at the small boy, say it then, say it. We all turn away in embarrassment not at the lack of covering but because the emperor really believes we are this easily intimidated.
