The system is without clarity as Lord Taylor of Warwick goes to jail.
Do these people not know the difference between right & wrong?
Are they as well educated as one is led to believe ?
Are they really stupid & arrogant thinking they are above the law?
or Do they think we are all stupid ?

There is 'illegally' wrong and there is 'morally' wrong.
A lot of MPs believed that because their actions weren't the former......they were not, either, the latter.
The culture of "just put your receipts in........nobody really looks at them" was allowed to exist for far too long.
The credit for recognising that this is no way to run any sort of parliament must lie with those who are willing to embrace the change, and those who are still whinging about their 'losses' need to be doubly scrutinised...

I think your understanding is not quite correct, redhelen.
Peers sign their expense claims on the basis that the costs have actually been incurred and that they are accurate. They are taken on trust and do not have to produce receipts or proof of their expenditure. My Lord Taylor betrayed that trust by claiming for, among other things, journeys which were not made from a place he said was his home but that was not, trousering over £11k in the process. He cited, in his defence, that it was common practice, though unsurprisingly none of the Peers he suggested had also made false claims were prepared to give evidence in his defence.
The issue was quite clear, the jury did not believe Lord Taylor’s explanation and justice, for once, seems to have been done.

Hands up those who have never fiddled their expenses....or income tax.
That is illegal and fraud in minor way and you are unlikely to get caught.
Parliamentary system of expenses was set up in a "nudge nudge wink wink" element of receipt production....on a larger scale and was exposed by the Daily Telegraph.
FIFA are in the same predicament ....big time fraud and illegal payments.
When opportunities arise ......hands up who would not be tempted.
This is nothing to do with education,stupidity or arrogance.....it is human frailty and human weakness which we all have to a varying degree.
