Of course, the paltry amounts MPs spent on porn, moats, extra houses, etc, and saved on dodging capital gains tax is such a spectacularly small and insignificant amount that you could save multiple times it every year and still barely have enough to make a dent on the over spend of a single large government department.
Porn, moats and 50" plasma screen TVs are not the problem, unless you're considering the stupidity involved in them paying for it when there is oodles and oodles of free porn out there which is just as good as anything you'd pay for... ehem.
Finding ways to stop giving massive, multi-billion-profit-making companies public money would be a much better thing to focus on. Finding ways to encourage a sense of civic responsibility in the disgustingly rich so they stopped dodging all forms of tax would be a good thing to focus on.
