Don't go judging others by your own standards SAS.

The regular salary + claiming but not taking the pi55 on expenses amounts to a nice earner without having to be an outright dishonest sponger. Indeed bollocks.

Agreed - Some people actually have a sense of right and wrong - these MP's seem to have misplaced that somewhere along the line..

As Francis Urquhart might have said, "You may think so, but I couldn't possibly comment."

My first job, the boss told me there's only two basic rules....

1) If I ask you to do something, it needs to be done but isn't that important, however if I TELL you to do something....

2) Don't falsify your expenses. It's instant dismissal and there's nothing I can do to back you up

Both sensible in my opinion
