Amidst all the outrage, who here would not claim those things that are allowed? We are basically saying they should be of higher morality than we.
Reality is we are a venal and corrupt society and we got the politicians we deserve.
We don't riot and fight against the fascist legislation they have brought in because we assume it affects other people (mostly brown Muslim people).
We are a nasty society.

Her defence for everything was a standard answer of "It was the Right Thing To Do". I hate how all Labour MP's use this phrase to justify anything they want without giving reason as to why it is the right thing to do.
I would still urge you (and any other voters of Redditch) to write to her to let her know what you think of her expenses claims.

Gordon Brown has claimed 115,000 pounds on a second home since 2002 (prior figures unavailable) even though he has had free accommodation in Downing Street since 1997 !!
No wonder he says that he has more important things to think about.

Even the Sinn Fein MP's who refuse to take their seat in Westminster are claiming for flats in London!
I saw a couple of interviews with Jaqui Smith yesterday. She said she could still look her constituants in the eye despite claiming for all the crap she has.
I wonder if anyone will conduct a poll in her constituancy to see if the voters agree?

At least they haven't put hookers on expenses!
Mind you, that's probably just because it hasn't been uncovered yet, not that it hasn't happened
