Expenses scandal

[Cronus]

So David Chaytor has been jailed for the expenses scandal...

David Chaytor, Ex-Labour MP For Bury North, Sentenced To 18 Months Over Expenses Scandal | Politics | Sky News

A result and good riddance to bad rubbish but I want to know why every ~~~~ing one of these coonts hasn't been jailed?
Why make an example of one when they are all like pigs in a trough?

Here's the six:



Clockwise from top left: Lord Clarke of Hampstead, Baroness Uddin, Lord Hanningfield, Elliot Morley, David Chaytor, Jim Devine

Mr Morley, the former agriculture minister, claimed ?16,800 for a mortgage that did not exist and also admitted wrongly claiming ?20,000 for mortgage capital repayments in contravention of rules.
Mr Chaytor admitted making an error in accounting procedures when claiming almost ?13,000 in interest for a mortgage that he had paid off. Police will also be interested in why the Bury North MP also claimed almost ?5,000 under his office allowances to pay his daughter, Sarah Chaytor, under an assumed name of Sarah Rastrick.
Mr Devine, a Scottish Labour MP, submitted invoices for electrical work worth ?2,157 from a company with an allegedly fake address and an invalid VAT number.
Detectives from the Metropolitan police have made several trips to Mr Devines constituency of Livingstone to interview witnesses.
Lord Hanningfield, the Conservative peer who is also the leader of Essex County Council, claimed ?100,000 over seven years for staying in London despite living just 46 miles from the capital. He has been investigated over whether he was returning to his home in Essex while claiming overnight allowances for staying in London.
He has a full-time chauffeur provided by the local authority at taxpayers expense and his claims from both parliament and the council are being studied.
Lord Clarke, a former Labour Party chairman, admitted his terrible error in a newspaper interview after claiming up to ?18,000 a year for overnight subsistence when he often stayed with friends in the capital or returned to his home in St Albans, Herts.
Baroness Uddin allegedly claimed ?100,000 in parliamentary allowances by registering as her main home a property in Maidstone, Kent, that was apparently barely occupied.

EVERY ~~~~ing one of them has committed theft and fraud. They've stolen money from every person in this country but only one gets jailed???
Theft by a fraudelent claim is still theft regardless of the amount. They should throw the ~~~~ing lot of them in prison.

i second that
i mean if you and i committed fraud on the scale that these koonts have then we would definetly be up for it
total ~~~~in koonts the lot of them
should be kicked out of office and never again be allowed to meddle in public office

[reddevil157]

Have to agree with both of ye, should do the same to the coonts here in Ireland, ~~~~ em all in prison.

Not to keen on them going to jail that will cost us thousands of more pounds I would like to see them fined at least four times what they took,
do hard community work ,loss of there over generous MPs pension, banned from all public service work, hit them where it hurts in the pocket
I would also like to see all the MPs ex and present who where caught fiddling who got away with it by paying back the money
or offering not to stand for reelection took to court because in my opinion they got away with fraud

We haven?t got the room in the prison for all, therefore the very bad apple goes in the prison as an example it?s the only way I look at it.
