Jaquie Smith fiddles thousands of pounds of our money year after year buying property like many other MPs. It clearly breaches the basic ethics and standards we live by. A cross party committee of fellow MPs is formed to deal with this. Result; she should apologise to all MPs in the house and that should settle the matter.
This illustrates how different our standards are to theirs. Theirs are so different that they cannot effectively represent our needs, even if they appear to try. They have enjoyed this state of affairs, unknown to us for so long, that they still feel it is their god given right and are fighting to keep the profits it has brought them.
Collusion, complicity, arrogant indifference and full of their own importance.
They have a lot more to do and give back yet.
