Famous jive

Here's something interesting: I have busted some jive moves with the person responsible for exposing the MP's expenses scandal.

She was on the first jive course I did, back at South London Pacific, in April 2006. This was of course back in the days when our elected representatives and their families could merrily watch porn films, build home extensions, and make donations to charity (see #6) and then claim it all back while we were none the wiser. I've just reread the entries from the time and she wasn't the one with the cat ear headband.

A dramatisation of the whole story of it (the battle for access to expenses claims, not being whirled around the dancefloor by me) is on BBC4 tonight, as I type.
