Gordon Brown says he did "nothing wrong". He claimed £6,500 in expenses to pay his brother for a cleaner. Something wrong there!
Hazel Blears says she did "nothing wrong". She claimed three different properties were her "second home". Something wrong there!
Jack Straw says he did "nothing wrong". He claimed for council tax paid at the full rate - when he was getting a 50% discount. Something wrong there!
All three dodgy customers with a thick skin for spin and deception. Their moral compasses have hit magnetic north and south at the same time.
There are others too. The list goes on. Gordon Brown thinks a clocking on scheme will do the trick. No it won't. We want our MPs paid properly with provision for proper expenses. All out in the open. It should have stopped years ago, when all this first surfaced. So much for criticising John Major. He never so much as got Terry a cleaner. His brother would have been mortified.
Sir Stuart Bell, who sits on the House of Commons supervisory body, said he believed the leak had breached the Data Protection Act and may refer it to the information commissioner. Don't waste your time, Sir Stuart, or more public money. We have a right to know if our politicians are corrupt or are behaving corruptly. This is the information the information commissioner should know about.
