Paying back the expenses?

This expenses thing is a funny one... I am finding it is angering me more and more as each day goes on. Strangely, it's not quite for the obvious reasons...
It's not the blatentness of the fraud and lies that gets to me, I expect nothing less from the 646. There has only ever been one honest, good intentioned man to walk onto the premises of Parliament, and that was in the 1600's. His name was Guy.
It's not the actual things that these MP's have claimed for that gets to me. In fact, we knew all along it would come to this when the information was released. It has ben building up. Jacqui's porn claims were but a warning, the tip of the iceberg.

It's the continued blatant hypocrisy from all MP's and parties which makes me sick. The MP's going on TV, on the radio spouting off about how they have done nothing wrong, how they have not mis-used the money, about how they are ok, and in the right, and have not broken the rules.

Well, it's all well and good to say that, and they might not have broken the letter of the rules, but they have ALL broken the spirit of them.

But it's when they turn around and say that it doesn't matter what they did, it's ok, we can forget it, because they are paying it back. That is what gets to me. No-one should fall in for this. No-one.

"Don't worry tax payers, I'm innocent."
"Oh, and parliment, you can have the money back anyway. I'm innocent, but it's the right thing to do"

OF COURSE IT'S THE RIGHT FUCKING THING, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SPENT THE MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU CUNT.

It's disgusting. I would have no problem with it if the MP's were apoligising, and then paying back the money, grovelling a bit more and actually being honest, but no. That's not what they are doing. It makes me sick.

Mr Andrew MacKay: “The system we had used was wrong and we are sorry about that."

Oh thats nice. so what the fuck are you going to do about that then?

The fact that all of them are doing it makes them feel as though it is the norm, when in fact it is a farce. Ridiculous
