MP's Expenses Scandal

Scandal! Numerous MPs across the board have been exposed for fiddling their expenses to outrageous degrees, billing the taxpayer for things varying from repairing a pipe under a tennis court, clearing a moat, to mortgages on second homes that they don’t even live in. The corruption goes all the way up to the cabinet and shadow cabinets, with big names resigning despite claiming that they had done ‘nothing wrong’. The public, used to fearing the prospect of fines or prison if even a slight discrepancy was discovered in their accounts, are outraged to find that these slimy bastards have been committing blatant fraud and have gotten away with it. Particularly as we are for once genuinely cash strapped and in the middle of a recession. Apparently it all goes back to Thatcher, who responded to MP’s demands for a pay rise which she considered would not go down well with the public by introducing these expenses rules. Public faith in politicians has been seriously shaken. People may turn to other smaller parties, which isn’t so bad if votes go to the Green party, but potentially catastrophic if power is given to that genocide waiting to happen, the BNP.
