Dont Pay Lah.......

Do you believe that the rich gets richer, and the poor gets poorer? Or how about the rich dont pay up but the poor do? Anyone heard before of Mohammad Yunus, the Nobel prize winner that created micro lending bank where it lends to the poor. No collateral needed. Once you are back on your footing again, you pay up. Suprisingly the poor do pay up. And the bank is going strong as ever and even the Bangladeshi government is supportive of the scheme.

However not going to talk about this today, want to talk about the Blairs. Yes the Blairs. Found something interesting in the papers today. It was reported in Daily Mail that Tony Blair was caught for not paying a £24.50 train fare. His reason for not paying?The money an aide had given him the night before was no longer in his pocket.Hahahaha.......isnt that amusing? Anyway the ticket inspector waived the first class fare and Mr Blair had the 15-minute journey for free. But to be fair to Blair, his bodyguard did offer to pay on his behalf.

Now, this is not the 1st time the Blairs has gotten into an awkward situation. Back in 2000, Mrs Blair too had her fair share for not having a ticket. She boarded a train at Blackfriars station, London, without a ticket for her journey to Luton. When she reached the underground style barriers at Luton she told the ticket collector she did not have a ticket and had to pay a £10 penalty and £9.70 return fare.

Well kind of amusing dont you think so? But look at the bright side. At least they behave and act like commoners. Anyone seen before PM Spore or PM Msia taking the public transport to work or to anywhere? Super duper highly unlikely...........
