Actually, I'd rather have a bunch of blood sucking, sycophantic, lying, cheating gangsters running the country rather than the shower we have now......... Hmmm, hold on a sec, they are a bunch of blood sucking, sycophantic, lying, cheating gangsters aren't they !!!!!

God helps us all.

Best regards.

Former MP Denis MacShane is to be charged with false accounting over parliamentary expenses claims, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
Malcolm McHaffie, deputy head of the CPS special crime division said: "Having thoroughly reviewed the evidence gathered by the police, I have decided there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to bring a criminal charge.
"This charge relates to fraudulent claims with a total value of £12,900."

He went beyond the normal fiddle so he steps into different territory
Look at it this way, its one thing to claim for having your moat cleaned when moat cleaning isn't a legitimate parliamentary expense. Its another thing entirely if you claim for having your moat cleaned when you don't even own a moat.

Aspirational expensess; every Englishman's home is his castle, and castles have moats, and moats would need cleaning. :O:

It is corrupt but if there is no real oversight or control of MP's expenses then they will try to get away with whatever they can because the system is flawed. They should just build a secure accommodation skyscraper (Watergate Towers) in London for all MP's to stay in when away from their constituencies so that there would be no need for second homes or as many claims.
