Don't touch the quality of my champagne!

[WOTR]

I enjoyed the article so much I thought I would share it.  Somehow, it is comforting to know that it is not just N. America where politicians are so far out of touch as to make you shake your head.


The house of Lords goes through 65 000 pounds (sterling) per year of champagne.  They could show a little austerity and merge their catering department with the house of commons, but refuse because the quality of champagne may not be up to their high standards.


Absolutely amazing (and somewhat hilarious if you stop to think of the stupidity of the whole thing...)

It is just sad. It is sad that the people let it happen and it is nobodies fault but the peoples. Just like it is our fault this country is so screwed up. We rather sit and bicth then get up and do anything about it!!1
