MPs expenses

[wangi]

Watched the sham that was Michael Martin's statement to Parliament this afternoon. Disgusting, sheer Incompetence and clearly just doesn't get it. He should be booted out, as should the rest of the MPs who have been shown to be corrupt. Any other place of work they'd be hung out for the police long ago.

First time I've written to my MP...

I think this is absolutely disgraceful too. The individual scenarios seem to range from 'milking' an extremely ambiguous system to out and out fraud. I despise this sort of white collar crime where they are falling over themselves to pay money back and apologising for "lapses in their accounting procedures". If they were un-educated, sink estate dwellers, they would be banged up before they could blink.

Many cases are certainly immoral and I hope they severely punish the criminal.

It's just pure greed. These people are already living very comfortably. They now have zero credibility. If they had any decency they would resign but no doubt they will keep their noses in the trough until they are booted out en masse at the next election. No wonder so many people have lost faith in politicians.

Heard a newsflash that Speaker to resign
Wonder if he gets a golden handshake/ extra pension.

It seems to be that most of the MPs had been milking situation for a while, all parties, so who do we vote for given that they all seem to be untrustworthy.
Oooops sorry silly me, they ARE politicians.
