It's not the same principle at all. Firstly this is public money, paid for by taxes which everyone has no choice but to pay. Secondly you're saying it's okay because it was within the rules, except they are playing judge and jury! They set their own rules, which allowed some of them to abuse the system. How is it that not every MP is abusing the system? Not everyone is the same, some people will be prudent with public money, and use public office to help others. Some are clearly using it to stuff their own pockets and help themselves. It's shameful.
