Andrew does put up a good case against having another elected house.. but there's no getting away with the fact that no one in this society should have the power to slow down, block laws, on the basis of whatever family they were born into.. it's just not on. |

...and now the ultimate insult for us hard pressed taxpayers...we have to cough up for their legal costs! Not surprisingly, the boy David is milking it for all he's worth and equally not surprisingly, the gurning inadequate is ignoring questions on it. :rolleyes:

Seems that legal aid was previously available to anyone who was in danger of going to prison. Now it's being means tested but the change is only being introduced gradually and hasn't reached Southwark County Court yet. Still, IF they are found guilty, they'll have to pay it all back. Let's see how it plays out...

'Under means testing, anyone with a monthly disposable income of £283 or more and/or capital assets of more than £30,000 would be asked to contribute towards their defence. None of the three charged defendants are standing at the election and would normally be eligible of “resettlement allowances” of up to £65,000, which is frozen until a verdict is returned. The House of Commons Commission will decide what to do next once that verdict is known.' 'Expenses MPs' Elliot Morley, David Chaytor and Jim Devine get legal aid - Times Online Ironically, it seems because their resetlement packages, due to 'retirement', have been frozen until after the trial, that this therefore makes them eligible for legal aid. Outrageous. I bet if I was allowed to have a good root through their personal effects, I could find evidence of monthly incomes greater than £283. per month, and proof of assets worth more than thirty thousand quid. |

How they all fought in the past, to keep their expenses secret...in the interest of 'security'. Probably true, though. If people had been allowed to know sooner, they'd have been publicly lynched. |
