Rent? Boy, what a fiasco!

A day after David Laws resigned as Chief Secretary to the Treasury after fiddling his expenses as previously reported... his replacement, Danny Alexander is reported to have avoided paying Capital Gains Tax on a £300,000 second home purchased at public expense.

Well, when are we all going to be in this together? If we remember correctly, wasn't the 'Boy' George Osborne also culpable in this regard?
ADDENDUM: One day later it seems that the non-payment of CGT is only a part of it... It now transpires that Danny 'Boy' Alexander has claimed over £13,000 in travel expenses... get this, for his wife!?!?!
Well, they seem to be in IT together... if the IT they are in.... is the public purse!
