He shouldn't be sacked he should be on the dock with the other 3 labour mps and the Tory one. How can a tealeaf be described as a good and honourable man. So much for wanting privacy if he hadn't have claimed the rent no one would have been the wiser. So he thinks by paying the money back then it's ok, tell someone on benefits who gets a criminal record fir cheating on their claims that. Did we really think things would change with this lot in power. They will turn pit even sleazier, 3 weeks and they've started another 4 years 11 months and 1 week to go. Can't wait.

And how is this in someway David Cameron's fault?

Yeah, maybe we can let Liarbour have another stab at wrecking the country although this time they wouldn't have a pot of gold to play with, thanks to their predecessors.

It all depends on your which side of the political divide you are on. I know I'll always keep the red flag flying.

OK, so please explain why, that when Labour take the reins, they do so with a pot full of money but when thay exit office the pot is empty or should I say heavily in deficit.

Anybody can have a pot of money by selling the family silver like thatcher did, (ba british gas the water companies bt etc) what would she have done if there was nothing to sell. Let's see how cameron does with nothing to sell off.

Why oh why do people still go on about Thatcher? It's now 20 years since she left office, let it drop. Please enlighten us to how Liarbour inherited a pot in 1997 and then spent the next 13 years putting us in £700+ Bn in debt!

Because she still lives on in the Tory party. If you want to go back to thecdays of over 3 million unemployed, 15% interest rates, everyman for himself, house repossesions by the thousands then your wish will be answered with dave boy. Do you think davey would have made a better fist of if, I don't think so.

This should read 'Let's see how Cameron does now that we've fcuked the economy and we will gloat when he gets the bad press for having to make unpopular decisions'.

We could argue until we're blue in the face about whether the country would be in such a state if the Tories had been in power at any time in the last 13 years but it would be pointless.

What is incontrovertible is that we are likely to be paying off the national debt for the rest of your and my working lives and we got into this position under the stewardship of successive Labour governments.

Complete and utter supposition.

Regardless of how wreckless they are? That they've ammounted massive national debt that your kids etc will have to pay off?

Maybe you should be a suicide bomber for Labour if you're willing to follow them that blindly.

And getting back to the original post about politicians expenses...................

And getting back to the original post about politicians expenses...................

Maybe a point has been proven. Whilst everyone is bickering about who has done what, the continuing expenses scandal will eventually pale into insignificance.

Yes, the idiot was wrong to claim. Yes, it should be classed as fraud, but why are we getting heated about 40 grand when the outgoing gubment have left US ALL, regardless of political persuasion, 700 BILLION in the red.

That makes me VERY, VERY p1ssed off!!

... we got into this position under the stewardship of successive Labour governments.

TBJ, we got into this position because too many bankers were lying on their balance sheets, no politicians (worldwide) got a grip of it - and if they had tried they would have been panned by the bankers friends in the press.

Complete and utter supposition.

Realist78, I'm afraid it isn't any attempts at regualtion (admitedly very few) that were tried were opposed by the 'heir to Blair'. In fact Davey boy wanted even lighter regulation.

The long & the short of it is that the bankers wrecked the economy, and now their friends in the Treasury will wreck the public sector to pay for the bankers mistakes, while the bankers go on giving themselves big bonuses and telling everyone else they need to take pay cuts and lose their pensions. This will result in a tightening and accelerating spiral of decline, the policy course we are currently on is akin to that in the early 30s.

As for the expenses scandal, yes dreadful & sums up the type of people who go into politics and all that, but it is bagatelle compared to the fraud that has been committed in the City of London, which we will be paying for generations.

My post was nothing to do with the bankers.

What gets me is that leading politicians and others [see: Iain Dale] refuse to believe this guy has done anything wrong.

He stole our fcuking money!

http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2010/05/why-standards-commissioner-should-find.html

That above is the best example of this joke. David Laws should be found innocent of breaking parliamentary rules because he and the guy he's living with, shagging, giving money to... have seperate social lives.

Sadly, the MPs still don't get it do they?DT_Xtremez_09:
