MP expenses - drop in the ocean a complete non story, esp when compared to Labour's mismanagement of the nation's finances
So you don't think that Mr and Mrs Smith who bought up 3 or 4 properties in 2006 when prices were skyrocketing on 90% LTV mortgages whilst only leaving 5% equity in their own houses should shouder some of the blame? :laugh:Quote:

Lord Taylor of Warwick falsely claimed for travel and overnight subsistence, a jury at Southwark Crown Court decided by a majority of 11 to one.

Taylor is the first parliamentarian to be tried and found guilty by a jury over the expenses scandal
What party is Lord Taylor from? Exactly - they were all at it.
No let the banks repossess their houses if they aren't paying their mortgages, if they are then where's the problem?Quote:

No I am not, but I can tell you most were not stealing, they were following guidelines.Quote:
