.......and the reaction of MPs who have been "found out" is pathetic. They try and blame someone else, and offer to pay it back immediately. The country's prisons are full of people convicted of fraud who no doubt tried to say the same when they were caught.

One MP tried to blame an unfortunate error in his accounting procedures. One acknowledged that on reflection, the claim he had made would not stand up to public scrutiny. One supposedly eminent MP admitted his claim of several thousand for a TV was a bit daft.

All euphemisms for "It's a fair cop, guv!"
