Yes, I feel much better now that someone whose integrity was taken for granted but who decided to cheat the system has been so severely punished. Let this man's terrible, but entirely justified ordeal, serve as a sober warning for others out there who might be tempted to abuse their positions and do likewise!!!...

The thing is you wouldn't get 6 months in there - they'd bang you up in some hell hole somewhere....

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Now Margaret Moran (ex)MP is going to get her day in court:

The former Luton South MP is to be prosecuted for allegedly claiming parliamentary expenses illegally.
Margaret Moran, who stepped down at the 2010 General Election, will face 21 charges in relation to claims, Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer said.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Yes, a very timely reminder for us all that many of our glorious leaders who've been so vocal in condemn wrongdoing and corruption in the Met, News Intl. etc. etc. aren't exactly beyond reproach themselves.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
One would hope the sactimonious cow would go down for a long stretch for being so blatent about it.
But if past form is anything to go by it will be just a few months in an open prison. After the customery sentence review for whatever she'll be out and about after a few weeks no doubt.

You're forgetting one thing though Mick ,the way the judges are locking up people for the most trivial of crimes during the riots one would expect her to get at least 10 of the best at her majesties pleasure by way of showing an example to the "criminal underclass".Or is she a member of the criminal upperclass and not subject to the same moral code

Well " the way the judges are locking up people for the most trivial of crimes during the riots" did cross my mind.
We shall see if or not she is judged to be a member of the criminal upper class.
Nice terminology on your part by the way.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Another criminal has been dealt with to the full extent of the law.

A former Conservative peer jailed for fiddling his parliamentary expenses has been released from prison early, the BBC understands.
Lord Hanningfield was jailed for nine months in July after being found guilty of six counts of false accounting.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
It's things like this that give a reason to some people to riot.
