Are these people a special case
'Expenses fraud' MPs and peer insist they should not face trial | Mail Online
Are these disgraced politicians a special case, should they have been allowed to stay out of the dock, and should they be dealt with at Crown Court or in house in Parliament;) |

Re: Are these people a special case
They've been charged with offences under the Theft Act, so they should be tried in a court of law like us commoners would be if we were in the same position.

Re: Are these people a special case
Yes, they are a special case, and should therefore feel the full weight of the law, as an example to the citizens they governed, that stealing is wrong.

Re: Are these people a special case
They really do make me sick, they claimed expenses they weren't entitled to so of course they should be tried in a court of law. I am a member of a couple of carers sites and god forbid any of them earn more than £95 a week and carry on claiming carers allowance they would soon be hauled before the courts and have to repay any overpayment. The arrogance of these MP's is astounding:mad:

Politicians getting preferential treatment in the eyes of the law over dodgy expenses.....yup, should sit well with the public in these stable times.

Re: Are these people a special case
No, they are no more special than any benefit fraudster being dealt with by any court in the land.......that they believe they are 'special' and should be treated in a different way(does that mean more leniently?) just shows how out of touch they are with public opinion and how far away from the real world they are.
They are despicable. Baroness Uddin has been cleared of any wrong doing on a technicality....she claimed £100,000 pounds and has got away with it, only because there is no clear distinction in the parliamentary regulations as to what constitues a primary residence....so if she visited her flat in Maidstone Kent once a month, then this could be considered her primary residence and she was free to calim £174 per night for accommodation in the city. More bl**dy neck than a giraffe! |

Note that - a "recent" ruling. In other words, these greedy, snout-dipping sods are determined to keep on troughing at our expense. Or how about this? MPs’ expenses: Ann and Alan Keen told to repay just £1,500 - Telegraph Despite all the fine words, it's abundantly clear that those who supposedly represent us have STILL not got the message. If there's a low turn out and/or a large vote for fringe parties in a couple of months time, we'll know exactly who's to blame! :mad: |

What does the Representative for Hyndburn have to say on the matter - and all prospective ones for that matter - they seem to be very quiet on the matter - waiting, hoping to get their snouts in the Westminster trough?

Re: Are these people a special case
It appears Peers and MPs can get away with stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds, whilst others are jailed for stealing £18.
Accrington woman jailed for dodging £18 taxi fare (From Lancashire Telegraph) Stealing is stealing, and everyone is (supposed to be) equal before the law. |

Hang your head in shame, along with Blair for making you a Peer, and along with a government that allowed these abuses to flourish. Sadly, if they'd have had their way, for they fought tooth and nail to keep their expenses shrouded in secrecy, we'd be none the wiser, and they'd still be milking the system. |
