A timely look at some of the outrageous expenses MPs have claimed, plus other scams and swindles from around the globe and how to make the most of your own expenses account. Cynical, funny and full of fun... Features the 'Who Claimed What Quiz' where you match the claim to the political party; the Great Pension Dodge; biggest and smallest spenders; keeping it in the family; how much taxpayers' money does it take to change a lightbulb and much, much more. Investigations around the world reveal how many shoes Imelda Marcos really has and what exactly went into Sarah Palin's $150K campaigning wardrobe.
Bit it's not only political figures who have their noses in the trough. We also have absurd concert 'riders'- who demanded a luxury 5 bedroom prefabricated house to be built within the confines of the O2 Arena in London for their concert? Plus a look at all the other people pocketing our cash, from bankers to arms dealers and coporate highwaymen. And finally, there's a guide to making the most of your own expenses account, including a handy form to copy so you can claim this book back on expenses.
