Mole Hills & Mountains

If you're in Britain and you're not stone deaf, you've certainly been hearing ad nauseum about the expense padding row in Parliament that has got so bad that on the one hand you have legitimate expenses being damned as graft and on the other you have revelations of MPs living off the taxpayer that are so breathtaking in their cheek that you wonder why her Majesty doesn't just dissolve parliament and be done with it.

Then into all of this comes this jaw-dropper of a report from the BBC that tries to equate the scandal with taking the odd biro home from the office.

I wasn't aware the Beeb had a bureau on the planet Zogg.

    Is "brio" the British word for "pen"?
