I don’t usually devote any space on this blog to anyone other than John Mann MP (let’s face it, he keeps handing me enough material for a dozen blogs) but today I’ll make an exception.

Three MPs charged with expenses fiddling are aiming to use legal aid to defend themseleves. That’s right, having fraudulently trousered a load of the taxpayers cash already, they are asking you and I to pay for their defense. £3million quid!

See the Telegraph

Having got that off my chest, I’ll just remind readers that fiddling is fiddling. The amount doesn’t matter. It’s just a matter of the degree of fiddling.

If anyone wants the little matter of J0hn Mann’s expenses claim and repayment, which he treats as if it was toxic waste and to be avoided at all costs, clarified for the taxpayers who fund the Government, please sign the petition.

UPDATE

Friend of Mannisms, Sir Olly Cromwell, has done a neat bit of research on the swindling MPs trying to weasel out of their come-uppance. He’s identified the legal represenatatives of the accused and their email addresses. He has sent an email to each essentially saying that, since the taxpapyers are picking up the bill for Legal Aid, he has instructed the barristers to enter a Guilty Plea. Some wonderful thinking there, Olly.

Please get yourselves over to http://youve-been-cromwelled.org/?p=584 and copy and paste the email and send it under your own name to the legal eagles, who are  getting rich on the back of these thieving MPS.

The sucker in this case is YOU, the taxpayer.
