Daily Quote: used car salesman
今天《卫报》上 Simon Hoggart 形容英国下议院议员开支管理处(fee office)为“伦敦东区的二手车推销员”。在议员津贴丑闻中，许多议员的形形色色的报销要求都被批准了，让人怀疑这个管理处是怎么工作的。
The fees office, which approved so many of these bizarre claims, seems to have been run on the lines of an East End used car dealership. “If you got cash, I can knock the VAT off, mate … Now this is a lovely motor. Don’t worry about the blood on the back seat, we can clean that up for you.”
Simon Hoggart: Expenses continue to haunt MPs.
