Give MPs A Pay Rise, Or There'll Be Another Expenses Scandal, Says IPSA
This
comment from IPSA is a damming indictment of MP's generally. Had the
thieving members who embezzled public money by fiddling their expense
claims been dealt with properly at the time, we might now have a house
of commons which has some credibility with the people of this country,
rather than a bunch of self serving hypocrites who are held in contempt
by almost everybody.
Saying "sorry" and handing back a few pounds here and there, was nothing more than a gesture in response to their crimes being exposed.
Those MP's found with their fingers in the till should have been suspended from the House of Commons, charged with theft and misconduct in public office, and if found guilty, given suitable sentences and a criminal record.
This would certainly have been a deterrent to future members. It seems that IPSA are aware that there are some MP's in the house who have criminal tendencies and have managed to get away with it so far and would be quite capable of stealing again.
