Nowt new there, the s just please themselves no matter, and bluff it out when caught. Parliamentary privilege or something similar usually works for them.
Did you see the "secret deals" option now made available for our lawmakers?

I like the comment from someone on that page who said, "how about, I rob a bank - and if I get caught I just hand the money back secretly, and that's the end of it?"

That's true enough, but we are all supposed to buy what they say as if they really care for us, when so many of them are frequently caught with their grubby fingers in the till and then do their best to lie their way out of it without even any shame or embarrassment.
What gets me is that some of these people are the ones who make laws (usually new ways to take money off us) that we have to adhere to, while they flaunt them all the time.
I think MPs are doing a great job, great value for money, just look at John Thurso and his expenses. Who would do a better job for less?
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
A total of more than £1 million is being demanded from MPs, but some senior politicians are refusing to pay. What gall! Their audacity appears to have no limits.

Some seem honourable, though I agree, not too many. Same with local councils.
Perhaps we should tempt the grubby ones with the promise of treble expenses for those that hack into a NASA computer - then we could wave them goodbye as they are extradited to the United Prison of America?
