The Supreme Court has found against the three ex Labour MPs who appealed a court of appeal decision that they should face the criminal courts over allegedly fiddling their expenses. The former MPs, Jim Devine, David Chaytor and Elliott Morley, had argued that their case should be dealt with by Parliament.
I don't think the Supreme Court verdict should come as a surprise to anyone. Just think of the outrage there would have been if the decision had gone the other way.
About time...............about bloody time.........can't wait !!!!!

I w2as relieved to hear that this morning. What worried me is that Brits would just have accepted that like the supine lot that they are...
ReplyDeleteAfter all we have accepted that the Lords deal with a long list of thieving bastards... and the most they can do is suspend them from the trough.
These titled people stole money (thousands and thousands of pounds) from us like common criminals that they are, and we allow them to get off with a ticking off, whereas, if we inadvertantly walked out of a supermarket with a packet of cheese we would be up before a magistrate.
I hope they go down for 10 years.
