When I heard the recent ‘revelation’ about the second homes allowances of husband & wife MPs Julie Kirkbride & Andrew MacKay I thought ‘But we knew that’
I am wondering why I felt I knew – I only know what I read or hear in the public media
And I rarely imagine things completely – though there is always a first time
I think it must have been in Private Eye, which I no longer read, but Kirkbride has been an MP since 1997
Which just confirms my suspicion that lobby journalists knew much of what is now being revealed, they just did not think it worth telling us, or they put a higher value on keeping their sources sweet
