Is anybody surprised at the disclosures that are still coming to light? I for one am certainly not seeing as the consensus amongst certain MP's was to try and keep the truth under wraps till July. I think there will be more and more ridiculous claims come to light but all will be deemed to be "within the rules". Sorry it is a cop out for fraud as far as I am concerned and the sad thing is that these very people are still allowed to sit in parliment. It is a travesty of the trust put into these representatives IMHO
