1) I don't think Steve is an elected member of parliament making our laws and telling us how to behave 2) Sean, you don't seem as willing to stick up for the other current witchhunted 'the bankers', who again haven't broken any laws, 3) No, as this review shows only a few of them are going to be prosecuted. I think some of the rest hhave paid back approaching ?2 million in the same way the Inland Revenue also gives tax avoiders a chance to pay back. 4) From top to bottom, prior to the exposure, MPs right up to the PM tried to NOT let the public see any of this as they knew how bad it was. 5) Millions of ordinary boring old tax payers and retired ex-tax payers of dull old middle england aren't and never have been 'at it', haven't got accountants and/or expense accounts and expect some honesty and straightforwardness from their MPs, but they're just dull non-urbanites many of whom probably read the Daily Mail

I expect that you've found the Forum especially helpful on this daize

Search function is your Friend Steve...I was actually looking for the big one on MPs expenses searching "expenses" but this seemed more appropriate

Top Tip - Looking to watch less television without cold turkey? Fill your old microwaves with old dolls covered in ketchup and leave in your front room. Then when you think "Oooh I must just watch a bit of casulty" - go and look at this instead. Hope that's helpful.

Where's Daizie? She's good at these. She used to write for Viz doncha know.

well said big...but the problem is there's a scary amount of people who seem to think their 'opinion' (which normally means that of someone with an agenda and a website) is better than the scientific process/peer group review etc ie proper science (with its flaws) and they will spout 'well that's your opinion, here's another' where they then abstract something from some dodgy website that also says the Holocaust is a fake etc. It's difficult to debate with flat earthers - as a similar thread in the family room on Homeopathic alternative 'treatement' to vaccination shows. The stats on the increase in Measles etc since this awful man published his 'laughable' findings are there for all to see. Some don't want to. He should be imprisoned, not just struck off.

I agree Molly. I've got some fantastic memories of talking to my nan about the East End, seeing a Zeppelin shot down! the general strike (she had to walk from Mile End to Knightsbridge (Harrods), where she was a seamstress and thought she was thus 'dead posh' as they were told turn up or your out), the Blitz etc. Luckily she wrote some of it down for my cousin so I've a copy now which I'll give to my kids when they've got a relevant school project.
