Several years ago, Paul van Buitenen filmed MEPs registering for work at the European Parliament so they could claim expenses, then leaving five minutes later.

The News of the World yesterday re-exposed the scam with a sting directed against British MEP Tom Wise.

There’s not much new here, only the hilarity of the language used in the report: “Porky Euro MEP Tom Wise … the podgy, bearded bon viveur… is not just living high on the hog—he IS the hog, stuffing his face and his wallet on Eurocash.”
