Blaming this on a "clerical error" is very low. It's maybe true but at the end, the responsibility goes to the top, not the "small guy".

Starting off right by protecting politicos from the same ilk I see.

Japanese politicians...more crooked than a dog's hind leg.

"Clerical Error," that's a good one. I think I'll use that if I get questioned about my tax return.

800,000 Yen that's not even loose change to our new Labour prime minister who was given 6 million Yen for a few suits and another 582,000 Yen for a couple of pairs of designer glasses along with Taylor Swift tickets and a private box to watch football worth 155,000 Yen each time he attends.

Oh hey, seems to be a whole lot of these. Guess it’s pretty hard to get people to do basic math.

I wonder what would happen in any other organisation if ¥800,000 wasn't properly accounted for.

Great start as PM. Putting his foot in it right away. Lucky there is no more such thing as a reckoning by the voters. Or moral or ethical aptitude from politicians.
