Some MPs STILL don't get it

Tory MP Nadine Dorries says that the revelations of MPs' expenses is now becoming a witch hunt which shows that she still does not get it. She still does not understand the anger felt by ordinary people. This is not a Diana-style frenzy whipped up by the tabloids, this is genuine anger.

So many MPs trotted out the line that what they did was within the rules. Well, that's yet another lie because how many of the things they bought and then charged us for were actually necessary for them to do their job?

Dry rot?
£750 television?
Moat cleaning?
Duck house?
Avoiding capital gains tax?
Avoiding stamp duty?

And now Andrew Mackay has decided to step down as candidate for Bracknell at the next general election after resigning as David cameron's advisor. Call me cynical but how long after the next election do you think he will be back eiher in a by-election or as Lord Mackay?
