It's a bit like when Jaqui Smith said we shouldn't expect to be able to walk the streets late at night.
Ahhhh I get it

Labour supporters believe that Labour are 'whiter than white'.

Any expenses claimed for a garden are number one priority for repayment IMO. I will be emailing Cameron regarding Alan Duncan. I will not be voting until these expenses are repaid and I suggest everybody else does the same !!
There was a brilliant Alan Duncan 'before and after' video on Have I Got News For You on Friday.
For those that missed it or want to see it again go here and skip to about 09:13

Low turnouts make it look as though people are apathetic with regards to politics these days but the truth is the average voter feels completely impotent when faced with the current 'choice'.
I don’t think I can be bothered any more, I give up on the British political system.

Hi David,
I am a life-long Tory supporter, and I was looking forward to supporting your party at the next election. After hearing of Alan Duncan's sit-on lawnmower that he bought courtesy of my taxes, I am very angry. I am self-employed and have to ensure that all of my expenses are work-related and have paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in taxes over the past 37 years.
I feel that my faith in the honesty of MPs has been destroyed and now I am considering not voting Tory. You all seem to have your fingers in the till.
Alan Duncan and others must refund these fraudulent expenses immediately. They are not entitled to rob the hard-working taxpayer.
Please explain how expenses for gardening are work-related,
Yours Sincerely,
Cyberman
Do I look bovered?
