MP’s and their expenses:


Would you do it? Be honest! 


If you were in an MP’s position would you claim for things that you knew you shouldn’t, knowing that you could get away with it?


Having that temptation at your finger tips would make anyone think twice about claiming for expensive duck houses or porno’s. But if MP’s were so loyal to their constituencies in the first place surely they wouldn’t put their position in jeopardy.  


Although the drag of the on going information thats being revealed daily in the telegraph is personal taking its toll on my patience. The freedom of information act and the journalist that uncovered probably the biggest news story of the year so far, did a fantastic job. Good old fourth estate!  


Anyway im going of track. What i really wanted to say was that there was an interesting article in the Sun last week showing Oliver Cromwell’s speech to the house of commons which highlighted how although 350 years have past, our government hasn’t changed a bit. It is still as useless and corrupt as ever.
