    Numerous UK MP's have been exposed as fraudsters. No action has been taken.

    If I were to pike a drink from my local shop I would be dragged before the courts and given a criminal record.

    Does the law only apply to the poor?

    Thats it alright.

    They want to cut social welfare to save 4bn???????

    They have given 80bn to the banks, why do they not mention that.

    because they are very good at avoiding blame

    like lenihan blaming the recession on migrant workers and the euro - no mention of his policies nor his parties policies

    You don't even have to travel to England. Or look at politicians or bankers.

    Fraud takes place every day here. How many people defraud their company expenses, or throw the odd sick day every now and again to cover for a hangover or a round of golf? They don't get hauled before the courts either. Fruad is a very tricky one to prosecute.
