Very low before the expenses scandal, even lower after. The most disturbing feature is that the ones caught all adopt the nazi defence of " I was only following orders " and turn it into " I DID NOTHING WRONG ". Technically in some of the claims this is possibly true, but what about the morality of it all? There was clearly a culture of snouts in the trough in operation and the politicians were well into it ( the ermine-clad toffs in the Lords as well, let's not forget ). It says a lot about the rotten capitalist system.....the rich at the top creaming off the booty whilst at the same time claiming moral leadership of the nation. The members who actually committed fraud should rightfully face a trial and a guilty verdict that would bang them up as ordinary people caught defrauding the public purse are.
Anyone for revolution? ( and a socialist republic! ).
