On the Today Programme on R4 this morning, the announcer was
introducing David Cameron before an interview about MP's expenses
claims and introduced him as David Cameraman

Yes!

His evasive answers to the question of how much money he had made
from his taxpayer subsidised mortgage made me laugh too.
The shows not over until the fat lady sings, unless she becomes temporary
speaker.

I was indignant at his suggestion that an immediate general
election was
the solution to the expenses scandal. But he would say that,
wouldn't he?
I want to see a list of the MPs who _haven't_ been fiddling their
expenses...
and an end to government policy being dictated by the media in general,
and the fourth estate in particular.
The D. Telegraph had such a list yesterday. I think there were
around half a
dozen in it.
I was under the impression that most politicians had not claimed
anything they shouldn't.

No, they've just made 'mistakes' in claiming for e.g. mortgages already
paid off. If this hadn't blown up, I wonder when they'd have realised
their 'mistake'?

No. I meant that I thought most politicians hadn't made so-called
'mistakes' or done anything 'shifty'. I can't remember how many MPs
there are but the revelations by the DT seem to have been few compared
with the total.
