  • Do bent MPs have the edge over Joe Public when they get caught out?

    This nice Lib-Dem MP (One of the chancers, Dave Laws, who sold their souls and credibility to the multimillionaire Cameron) gets his wrists slapped and banned from Parliament for 7 days for claiming £56,592 in expenses he knew damn well he was not entitled to. To me that's nicking tax payers money. I know its supposed to have been re-paid in full but surely the attitude to 'get away with it' existed when first claimed! Anyone else out here on the street would have been nicked by the Bill, charged with fraud and banged up for a few years losing our jobs in the process. Talk about Con-Dem rats looking after their own. This is a prime example!
