The money is just alone and it's all going to be repaid in April. But even if that's true it's a forged interest free loan that feels a lot like thievery. And that's just what it is no matter how you cut it politicians are stealing from taxpayers because they haven't got the political courage.

The war on political arrogance has been declared and it's not likely to end anytime soon."
