Default Three Labour MPs in court today!

Three Labour MP's are due in court today on criminal charges of false accounting.

A fourth, Harry Cohen, is now under investigation by the police and may well face similar charges.

Labour really are the party of sleaze!

Come on David and George!

Haven't you heard of George Galloway's "respect" party mate?
Proof that socialists (well self professed ones anyway) are not self serving types.

If they are proved to have really cheated as charged then they should be slung out on their necks without a handout or a pension. Cheap accommodation in gaol would do for a start.

I think nearly all the MP's were effectively guilty with their expenses claims anyway and they should all get the shove so that we could start again with MP's who are proved to be of good character.

Would be great if that actually happened Shame its not going to though. I really don't trust any MP. They spend their entire life trying to make things look good. I don't see anyone currently who is prepared to say things like they are.

Yes ONE Tory peer, but THREE labour MPs with a fourth probably to be added (Harry Cohen) and a labour peer (Baroness Uddin) escaping by the skin of her teeth

They're all just sacrificial lambs offered up to the public baying for blood, so the rest of them can get off scot free.

You are missing the point and its NOT a subtle one. The ones you are referring to are not accused of breaking the law. We have all decided now that the system is unethical and needs to be changed.

The three LABOUR (and probably a fourth) are in court accused of CRIMINAL charges of false accounting. There is a big difference.

So you're happy to pay for multi-millionaire Cameron's wisteria clearing then?

I only ask as you seem to be holding him up as a paragon of virtue?

I read that "Dave" returned the wisteria money anyway.

No one has any idea yet whether he is a paragon of anything!

Somehow I can't get out of my mind that claiming the cost of rent paid on a house that you actually own isn't false accounting!

As happy as I am to pay Sh*t Brown's expenses on his Fife home when he's got free accomodation at No10 plus at Chequers, and carefully put the flat he bought in dubious circumstances from Robert Maxwell's estate, into Sarah's name, so he can rent it out at a profit........

That's my bloody point. These w@nkers are all at it, just different degrees.

We deserve better than this.

Trouble is Lee, spoiled votes may well let the very worst of the bunch gain control.
