MP's and BBC expenses

If there's anything that made my blood boil recently it's the scandal of MP's, and now the BBC's expenses. As an employee of a public sector organisation I find my own expenses (usually for travel) are rigorously scrutinised, and studied before any hint of passing them for payment is made. So how does this high degree of control elude those at the very top of our public sector organisations? It is the ultimate act of hypocrisy that these people expect me to spend the tax payers money though it was my own, and I agree this is appropriate, but why is it one rule for us and one for them? The latest BBC revelations have however given me some cause for hope. As one departing employee had a gift that was claimed for through the expenses system, I thought that perhaps the endless stream of collections that circulate around the office could now be met with an expenses claim! Brilliant! Thank you Mr BBC, at last, something positive comes from the outrageous tax that is the Licence Fee!
