don't tar me with the same brush

The comment from 'The_Way_I_See_It' suggests that all civil servants are corrupt and above the law. I think you should qualify that statement because I am a civil servant who, like the majority of my colleagues across all Govt. Dept's earn less than £20K per year. We are unable to claim expenses and we get sacked if caught breaking the rules. You should have directed your comments at MP's who claim our taxes without having to provide evidence of what they spend it on. Whether the senior civil servants who work closely with MP's are corrupt or not is a topic for discussion but there is an old adage about catching fleas if you lie down with the dogs.
One of the main differences between us and them is possible membership of the Freemasons.
