Would imagine these farmers are being paid by some goverment agency and would not be allowed the privelege of "playing within the rules". Not making myself out to be a saint but what these MP's have done is beyond contempt whilst a lot of the population have really struggled over this winter with fuel price rises and suchlike. I wonder if I or you made a claim by mistake for benefits would we end up with no criminal record? We both know we wouldn't like we both know none of this would have come to light if not for the "Freedom Of Information Act" coming into being. There is no excuse for it, it is theft and from the very people who elected them
