And now for something completely different.

A short video from the BBC which shows an American banker helping a family of ducks, for free
An article in the Daily Telegraph which states that a British member of Parliament helped a family of ducks by building them an island in a pond in his back garden. Unlike the American Banker he charged the British Tax payer £1600. And it does get worse. A local MP, a Tory from Totnes has stated he will stand down at the next election after he claimed a lot of money to carry out repairs to his home in South Hams, which is actually his own home, not the one he lives in while in London on Parliamentary business. Well I think £80 000 is a lot of money, I don't care what Mr Steel thinks
