It's MPs who have and are damaging parliament. That's why I want PR with a 'none of the above' option.

None of the above - well said.

The Fees Office is not Parliament, the MPs are. They didn't have to aquiesce to some rotten authority made more rotten by Squeaker Martin. They have abrogated their duties to this country on so many issues.

I still think theres some way to go with this story.

Next should be outside interests 2nd/3rd jobs that will be extreamly tricky for the conservatives. I still don't think people are aware how much money there own mp makes with salary expenses and interests are all added together.

I stand by my previously expressed belief that defrauding the public of money is not remotely as evil as the war crimes, massacres, genocide, ethnic cleansing, sexual enslavement of children & dissection while still alive of 1,300 innocent Serbs in which the vast majority of MPs of the 3 main parties, have been knowingly complicit.

Doing them for fraud is a bit like charging Al Capone with fiddling his income tax which .....oh well.
