What a waste!

I've been memed (think that's the verb) by Hen Ferchetan of Amlwch to Magor fame.
Who or what do I consider to be the biggest monumental waste of 200,000 quid?

Ladies and gentleman....a slow Lambeg drum-roll pleasse....

The Reverend Doctor .....
The Right Honourable....
Ian...Richard...Kyle.....Paisley
!!!!!!!

MP salary: £61,820
Last annual expenses claim: £136,498

Total: £198318 of your and my hard-earned taxes.

And what do we get for that £198318?

The Reverend in the last year attended Westminster on twelve occasions, making the cost of each visit: £16525, give or take the odd taxi ride or so.

A night at the Ritz (in Iris's favourite Queen Executive room) is presently running at 450 pounds, the most expensive flight Belfast-London, 228.

But ah, you say, that still leaves Big Ian, a Waste of Money, 1682 pounds short of 200 thousand....

Well, How much is The Newsletter paying him to deliver this kind of drivel?

I think I'm supposed to pass this meme on now, but I'll leave it open for anyone that wants to run with it.
