McCartney disillusioned with British politicians

Macca's not pleased with recent shenanigans of greedy British pols:

The U.K. government, headed by Prime Minister Gordon Brown, has faced weeks of scrutiny after a British newspaper revealed the extent of taxpayers' money used to fund lavish lifestyles for Members of Parliament (MPs).

The revelations caused a public outcry, leading to several MPs handing in their resignations and Brown's leadership skills thrown into doubt.

And McCartney admits he was also outraged by the abuse of U.K. citizens' cash - and protested against politicians by boycotting the U.K.'s local and European elections last week (04Jun09).
