OK - after a week I am finally bored of this "scandal". Yes, I will grant you, some have pushed the expenses to the limit, and several deserve investigation. But the public have swallowed it as if they are all criminals.I don't suppose anybody watched Question Time yesterday. It was full of very angry, very ill-informed people. All looking for a reason to vote BNP or UKIP. And glad they have found one,
Of course the need to change it is huge. But how big a problem is it all? If every MP took the maximum £24,000 a year - and they don't - it would still cost less at £16,000,000. However many Gulf Wars could we have funded with that?
Yes, the expenses - a bit of fun, and a few rotten eggs - but can we return to politics? I mean - finance, education, NHS, Sri Lanka, Pakistan...

Loving reading your comments..... It's refreshing, like having some sanity to dip into amidst all of this. Keep it up!
Hi Sam ,
I am still bored of it. And I suspect will still be bored of it for some time to come.
