I'd honestly have more respect for someone who had the balls to admit they had been sheep, who'd participated in a system they knew was flawed, but didn't technically break any of the self imposed rules, and weren't going to repay the damned money.

Why pay back any money now, only because the issue is in the public domain?

It's rather like Germans protesting after 1945, that they'd only been obeying orders.

Let's hope tomorrow's election results are the kick in the arse that many mainstream politicans need.

If after being elected by us, they then make laws and moralise to the general public, they'd better make sure they themselves are both moral, and live within the law.
