Buried by mainstream media
Teletext (of all places!): MPs in expenses breach
These people have been breaking parliamentary rules by defrauding the taxpayer into paying for a flat they owned outright. Their punishment? Politely asked not to do it again, but allowed to keep on defrauding the public till later this year. One rule when chavs defraud the public purse in benefit fraud, another when those in power defraud the public purse with bogus expense claims. It beggars belief.

Once upon a time there were mp's that were honest, reliable and worked hard on behalf their constituents but the fairytale is over and in reality power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely and this has been proven over and over again. The Law is basically there to control the general population and senior civil servants will always prosecute the poor and pay lip service to the wealthy.
