Some outgoing members of the British Parliament popularly known as the MPs will be helping themselves to new iPads and laptops as they stand down from the parliament at the next election.

And the request for the latest technology gadgets, which they will be claiming as part of parliamentary expenses, will be covered by the British taxpayers.

Report shows that in the last six months over ten MPs have claimed laptops and tablets on expenses, including Labour’s Tom Watson – who claimed for two – Siobhain McDonagh, Michael McCann, Huw Irranca-Davies, Roberta Blackman-Woods and Fabian Hamilton, and Tories Theresa Villiers, Nick Hurd, Keith Simpson, Glyn Davies and Tobias Ellwood.

If you assume that it is only in Nigeria or some African countries you hear that political leaders are feeding fat at the expense of the helpless masses, you will be surprised about what happens on the other side.

Perhaps we are “Smarter” on this side though…
