Lots of thread views but no replies in the last couple of days, so I went to my friend google and brought up a piece in the Daily Mail. Where better to look for news on a scandal?

Evidently, Parliament has an official policy against using FF miles accrued on official business for personal travel. The Speaker allegedly used some of his many many miles to get Business Class tix for family members on trips from Glasgow to London.

Doesn't he know miles are best used for long-haul trips?
