Conservative MP's were approached as well, but they turned it down.

From your obvious dislike of NL i can only read into it that you too are a secret **** and far right winger through and through, no other explaination is possible. You could deny it all day long and as oftern as you like, it just makes you more guilty in my eyes
Apparently the Dispatches programme is on tomorrow evening, should make interesting viewing!
Hoof the baffoon describes himself as a 'cab for hire' Well geoff the word to describe you begins with a 'C' for sure
That is as long as i have finished my Monday night p@ki bashing and polishing my collection of iron crosses that is

From the Beeb ... BBC News - Ex-ministers in 'cash for influence' row under fire ...
"... Questioned about the newspaper's claims by the BBC's Andrew Marr, Mr Darling said: ... "But really, what on earth did they think they were doing?" ...".
Actually Alastair they were doing exactly what you were doing when you flipped your 'main home' designation 4 times in 4 years! Funny that. God, I do hope we have a 'hung' parliament, then drawn and quartered .....

So, when I spoil my vote by putting a line through them all and commenting :no confidence in any:, would it cause me any problems if I also added, they are all greedy, self serving, robbing barstewards

I'm surprised Pete hasn't been along to comment/make excuses.
This was the kind of stuff that bought the Major government down, but that was only backbenchers. With Labour it seems to be ex-Ministers pedalling their influence over sitting ministers. So much for Blair's "whiter than white" government.

It also won't do anything to at least get a different lot in government which can't possibly be worse than this lot of corrupt incompetents and who might even do a better job.

Not meaning to hijack here, but a couple of the lads at work are kicking off about HMRC going back 5 years to see if they can claw back anymore tax from them. They managed. About £16 a month for private health insurance they had. What a sorry state of affairs. They must be desperate for cash and are prepared to get some by fair means or foul. Why, so they can line their own pockets some more

I hear what you are saying, Les. Honestly, I have no idea who to trust and would rather register my disgust at them all with a spoilt vote, than vote for the sake of it.

What we all have to decide is whether we can continue with the present bunch of imcompetent oiks who will throw all our cash away as they have demonstrated so well, or whether there is a chance that "Dave" and his lot might get us into some kind of financial recovery before everything goes irretrievably TU.
I think the odds show that giving the others the chance is our only hope. A hung government is a dead loss!
I also think that the rules should not permit any MP to make use of his privileged position to lobby on behalf of anyone especially when they can make so much cash out of it. The possible downside of that is obvious enough!

I agree with you completely Lee. Most politicians have shown themselves to be morally bereft as far as the expenses affair is concerned. Unfortunately we can't kick them all out and someone has to run the country.

it was around half of the MP's who where found to have abused the system, not most.
I do feel some sympathy for those who have not abused their positions of trust and power mind.

Those who did of course, apart from effectively stealing public money did the House a great disservice, as have those into lobbying for cash.
No good them saying what the rules said, they made their own morally wrong rules anyway.
