Submarine - one - for the maintenance of

I wonder how long it has taken the board/bean counters/shadowy group of public schoolboys at the BBC to realise that hiring a helicopter to fly between the country piles of various Tory MPs in order to expose their profligate and slightly unethical claims on expenses seems slightly hypocritical when you realise that both the chopper and the swimming pools are paid for by us poor taxpayers? Of course it may be that the BBC actually have a helicopter of their own and I suppose it might actually be cost-effective to keep it in the air in pursuit of the national interest instead of flying execs between cocktail parties - but I doubt it. The recent BBC coverage of the pigs in troughs has seemed slightly over-zealous in light of the corp's own drains on the public purse. Not biased perhaps but certainly worth a raised eyebrow.
