British diplomats are cashing in on taxpayer-funded “hardship” allowances in paradise postings like Bali, Abu Dhabi, and the Maldives — complete with extra vacation days and bonuses up to $10,000 a year.

Lawmakers demand transparency and reform, calling it an insult to taxpayers, while the Foreign Office defends the perks as necessary care for staff serving in tough conditions — even if those conditions include sunny beaches and top-tier safety.
