Yes, those concerned should at least be arrested on suspicion of fraud or obtaining property by deception. However, I am well aware of the horrendous burden which this would place upon the Police and CPS, bearing in mind the recent fiascos of the cash for questions and Damien Green enquiries.
I'm fed up to the back teeth listening to their pathetic lameduck excuses, i.e.:
"All my claims were within the rules" "I acted on the advice I was given from the fees office." "I've done nothing wrong."
"The system's to blame." etc etc ad nauseum !
Are we simply to believe that the flagship of British democracy is populated by some 600 odd of the most naiive people imaginable? It makes my blood boil to think that their barefaced arrogance was such that we've been treated with downright contempt! Our intelligence has been insulted by people hell bent on feathering their own nests at our collective expense (literally).
"Wholly, exclusively and necessarily" incurred is the maxim by which their claims were meant to be guided. It's patently clear that so many of these claims fell well short of that.
I'm totally convinced that the vast majority of these leeches are desperately praying that we, the great British public, will gradually grow weary of hearing fresh revelations of the same nature on a daily basis.
I for one have not tired of them, (God bless the Telegraph) and yesterday's blacked out documentation just goes to prove how valuable and priceless those exposes have been to each and every taxpayer in the UK.
