Ridicule is the one weapon that will bring them down sooner rather than later.

But ridicule is easier to get hold of and is legal.

(Sing to ABBA’s original music)

Money Money Money


They lie all night, and cheat all day, their claims all in and then we pay
Ain't it bad
And still it just appears to be, they’re all corrupt, no honesty
Make’s us mad
To take it all, that is their plan
To rake it in the perfect scam
Expenses paid, no claim to small, they spin around and catch us all...

Money, money, money
Must be lovely
In an MP’s world
Money, money, money
Con the country
In an MP’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things they can screw
Just to claim the public’s money
In an MP’s world

They list it all for where they stay, a second home someone must pay
Ain't it bad
They say they claim it legally,, they do not care as you can see
Make’s us mad
So they must leave, they have to know
We’ve had enough, they’ll have to go
They’ve made a fortune in a game, but life will never be the same...

Money, money, money
Must be lovely
In an MP’s world
Money, money, money
Con the country
In an MP’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things they can screw
Just to claim the public’s money
In an MP’s world

Money, money, money
Must be lovely
In an MP’s world
Money, money, money
Con the country
In an MP’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things they can screw
Just to claim the public’s money
In an MP’s world

A new political party was founded today ahead of the European and local elections.

Headed by Sir John Bourne, former first class traveller (with wife, care of the taxpayer), the "Expense Party" is unusual in as much as it has no manifesto, doesn't bother with kissing sick-dribbling babies on doorsteps, and doesn't give a monkey's about any of its constituents.

At a lavish launch and 7-course lunch, funded by London Council Tax Payers, and held in the GLC headquarters, the new party's secretary, Con Cash, outlined their plans in the lead up to the elections.

Mr Cash said that the main aim of the party was to get as many people as possible elected and into the House of Commons so they could immediately claim expenses for second, third and fourth homes, many of which would be rented out to provide a second, third and fourth income anyway. He also said that too few people were able to do this in the course of daily business.

The party's stationery consists solely of petrol receipts, lunch receipts, video receipts and moat-cleaning receipts, and the party intends to employ thirty people just to fill these in and submit them on a twice-daily basis.

Mr Cash concluded that he felt their unashamed honesty at being in it for the cash should come as a breath of fresh-air. "We don't see why it should be left just to the national lottery to create millionaires."
