I dont believe it
 
As Victor Meldrew said

Do you know those thieving three labour politicians who are being investigated for expense fraud have been given legal aid!

They have fiddled their expenses to get money off us, and now they are going to make the tax payers pay for the court costs

Obviously labour don't want to be in power. They're doing all they can not to be elected. This makes sense. Screw it up - then let someone else sort out the mess.

ETA. If it's true.

Was gonna say,they should lock them up and throw away the key,if found guilty,...but there again us poor taxpayers would foot the bill for that also,..and they'd probably end up with all mod cons and a life of luxury.

They’ve only picked on the four worst and most easily proved cases, the cheque-waving Hazel Blears should have been up before the beak as well as the idiot with the moat. We don’t have an independent judiciary, the top man (Goldsmith in this case) is appointed by the ruling party.

If we had had a truly independent judiciary, at least half of the Commons and the Lords would have had their collar felt.

Dammit!

Well, the Tories demonstrated that they were a collection of bent b*stards, so I guess it's just parity.

When people accuse me of being cynical, I always reply that if by middle age you are not cynical and paranoid, then you simply aren't paying attention.

Yeah. Thinking about it, the only way they could make that worse is to add a priest to the list.

Lord forbid!:huh:

Regarding your previous post,maybe we'd all be much happier and content if we took no notice and simply buried our heads in the sand, because all the whinging and bellyaching in the World never seems to make a ha'peth of difference to how those guys go about there dirty business.
