I'm disappointed that once again there is a trial by media.
If I was running the country (heaven forfend of course!) I would draw a line under the whole fiasco. Start again.
Do NOT have all the expenses audited - it will cost yet more of the taxpayers money.
Do NOT witch-hunt and demand money is paid back - the system was open for corruption and the MPs played it, like every other employee in every other job.
Just change the rules and get on with it.

Will they listen to me?
Nah.

I listened open-mouthed the other morning to a 5 Live phone in where people were VERY ANGRY. One intelligent chap was insisting there should be a None Of The Above option on the voting form next election. That'll larn 'em. Something tells me he hadn't quite thought through the consequences of None Of The Above won....

ETA - what amused me most in this unfolding story?
The Lib Dem who claimed for a trouser press.
He must be the only person in the country who bought one that year. They probably all went out to dinner at the Corby company on the back of that.
