Greg Pope has published an apology in the Observer for buying items for his second home on his expenses account. He says he knew as soon as he made the purchases he shouldn't have put them through his expenses account and started the process to repay the money he had claimed. However he claims that he hasn't "broken any rules" but if he truly believes that is the case why apologise and arrange to pay the money ? I find this whole charade an insult to my intelligence!!! Am I alone in feeling this way?
