Sir John Bourn

I've been following revelations about the former high spending head of the National Audit Office with Interest. On the one hand, I'm reminded of Noel Coward's autobiography in which (and I'm paraphrasing) he suggests one should travel first class if one has the money.

The thing that sticks in my craw is that it isn't his money; it's mine! Not only that but the tax that became due on the benefit received by his wife of such luxury travel was also paid for by me - and probably you.

None of this is in any way as bad, however as the fact that these fat cats have been accepting lavish corporate hospitality. That can't be right surely?
