This story will just run and run because it stirs up anger in each and every fair minded person in the country. People who have been placed in a position of public trust have been shown to abuse that trust. One of the things that annoys me most is the way public sector workers, especially the police and nurses, were being told that their independently recommended pay increases could not be implemented because the public purse could not afford it,,,,,,, whilethe very people who were telling them that were taking ludicrous amounts for themselves in what were at best extravagant and at worst fraudulent claims for expenses.

I worked for 30 years in the public sector, and misuse of public money for personal gain is deemed "gross misconduct" under the disciplinary system, punishable by instant dismissal and referral to the police.

If the MPs are treated in the same way as other public sector workers are treated, many of them will end up in jail.
