On the one hand, I quite often steal pens from work.
On the other hand, they aren't moat-cleaning pens paid for with my tax money that I'm stealing.
Generally, I am struggling to be outraged by the whole affair, as it's not really a new thing but the current journalistic vogue. It needed to happen, great, and there'll be some hang-wringing for a bit, but doubtless it'll be another quango or tier to the civil service that will inhibit (but not prevent) this happening again.
Have you noticed how Labour tend to be 'I'll stick a lick of paint on the company tab' while the Tories tend to be 'I'll stick a gold village in Germany on the company tab'?

i know its nothing new and its getting more press now than any other time. its still infuriating but not worth getting in a tis over i suppose. it is funny how the tories pay for tennis court heating and moat clearance and the rest claim for some other less twatish thing like knob polishing of some other.
