<Insert witty title here>

Forget it, thinking of decent blog titles is a waste of time when there are all these ideas floating in my head.

Exams are coming to an end as soon as they begun even though, ironically enough, my exam period has been ridiculously overstretched over an excruciating 5 weeks of not knowing what to revise next. It's been peculiar, especially with A2s still going but slackening off a little.

And yet in those five weeks there's been an explosion in the media about...yeah, that's right, those politicians and their expenses. Quite frankly it was shocking when it first came out, but now it's any excuse to screw politicians over for minimal expenses. Maybe it's because us British - with our *a-hem* heightened sense of moral responsibility and need to doll out praise or blame (more often than not, blame) - should be as outraged by the hundreds of pounds going to selfish causes as it is for the thousands of pounds going to selfish causes. After all, it's the same principle isn't it?

We should know by now politicians are unlikely to be the most trustworthy creatures, so it's not the best idea to get on our self righteous high horses and trample on the people who got themselves so high profile that their mess becomes national knowledge.

Then again - to back off slightly - we put our trust most in these guys. I mean, the politicians and bankers. We trust they will keep this country safe in many ways. But, the chances are that these expenses might not have come through if there hadn't been an economic crisis; it's swings and roundabouts. And let's face it, after we've adjusted to economic distress, the British need something new to complain about.

Then again, I have moaned about the lack of resources for struggling schools, about teachers struggling to provide for disabled children that might actually be able to make something of their lives... At this point I get on my self righteous high horse and say it's not so much that it's the fact that politicians are spending "OUR taxes" (maybe it'd be a bigger deal if I was actually eligible to pay taxes...) but the fact that there is an awareness about these problems and yet these people still take expenses for their own benefit.

The irony is that, even if banks (and resources) were nationalised, they'd be in the hands of the politicians who prove to be equally as irresponsible as the top bankers claiming rights to a pension they shouldn't have while jeopardising the jobs of many.

Heck, I stink of my own hypocrisy here. I mean, here I am criticising the British public for their moral indignation and here I make a big deal about the injustices of the system. It's all very well being a surly teenager who doesn't have to pay taxes. It's all very well being totally ignorant in politics and economics. I'm still a child to the world, but the adults drown out my cries: "It's not fair!"

Then there's a nagging voice each time: "Life ain't fair buddy, get your head down and just do what you can."
