Barely had David Cameron completely a press conference today outlining his plans to crack down on expenses abuse by Conservative MEPs, when the BBC got hold of a memo from one of those MEPs slating his proposals. Sky has the full text of the memo, which is well worth a read.

“the press storm over MEPs expenses is blowing itself out”
– well it shouldn’t be.
“[conservatives] have a very positive story to tell”
– if by that they mean they are proud of their record of skimming, scamming and siphoning hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money into their private pockets for their personal benefit.
