Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
They should repay it, with interest added from the time they STOLE it.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Bit of a bump, but here we go....
BBC
Quote:
Former Luton South MP Margaret Moran, who is accused of fiddling her parliamentary expenses, is not fit to stand trial, a court has been told.
Consultant forensic psychiatrist Philip Joseph said that Ms Moran, 56, was suffering from a depressive illness and extreme anxiety and agitation.
|
Whilst I have every sympathy with those suffering from stress/depression/etc, I am a little suspicious of this manifestation.
Perhaps if she hadn't fiddled her expenses (allegedly), she might not be so "stressed"?
Quote:
|
Dr Joseph told Lewes Crown Court the stress of the proceedings and allegations she was facing made it impossible for her to participate in court proceedings.
|
Must try that one next time I am up in court.....

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Wonder if this depressive illness will prove as long term and debilitating as Ernest Saunders' dementia....

Anyway its amazing how many undiagnosed illnesses are diagnosed by defense lawyers during the preparation of a defence or appeal.

Hmmm,.... Maybe that's how he's funded all that Apple bling...... 
Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them now indulge in a little selective medical research so they can highlight a nice nebulous mitigating condition before their clients even realise they have one.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Just when you think there isn't any good news reported any more.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21119031
Quote:
The police are to reopen their investigation into claims of expenses fraud against ex-MP Denis MacShane.
Mr MacShane quit as MP for Rotherham last year after admitting using fake receipts to wrongly claim more than £7,000 of parliamentary expenses.
|
Shouldn't be too difficult a case to prosecute. He's admitted it in writing to the House of Commons and they have agreed the letters where he admits it are not covered by parliamentary privilege.

Yup. I'll bet he is quickly thinking what previously undiagnosed ailment he can use to try and get off with it.
