What really annoys me about the MPs expenses scandal is the cynicism of Brown and Cameron, they are using it for their grubby cynical gains getting rid of MPs they do not like while saying others – Brown for example says Blears (who I have no time for she was up Tony Bliar’s (deliberate spelling!)arse!) behaviour was unacceptable while his two pals Hoon and Purnell have done nothing wrong when in fact all three have been guilty of “flipping”. Also Cameron appears white than white in the press despite the fact as you point out more Tory MPs are fiddling the system. Still the majority of MPs are all a bunch of hypocrites.
