sawyl | Bracknell-phobia?

My former MP has been caught up in the expenses scandal:

The veteran Conservative MP Andrew MacKay resigned as senior parliamentary adviser to Cameron after jointly claiming £170,000 over four years on properties with his wife, fellow Tory MP Julie Kirkbride. Cameron described his behaviour as completely unacceptable after it was revealed that MacKay designated Kirkbride's constituency flat in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, as his main residence, allowing him to claim the annual £24,006 additional costs allowance on their joint London home. Kirkbride designated this property as her main residence, allowing her to make claims on her constituency flat. Tory eyebrows were raised at her behaviour but no action was taken because, unlike her husband, Kirkbride designated properties in London and in her constituency.

Talk about going to impressive lengths to avoid living in Bracknell...
