Well, it just gets better and better NOT! Trust is very dead IMO
and the option is?
I really don't see what can be done about this, the politicians set the rules it would seem they don't give a $h1t about how they appear. You don't see them talking about resigning now. It is all won't be seeking re-election.
I doubt anyone will go to prison, more likely hush it up a few slapped wrists and nothing really changes.
Indeed, doesn't go any way to installing any trust! How they can call each other "Honourable" beats me - they don't know the meaning of the word !!

It would seem to me that they [i]do[/i] very much 'give a $h1t about how they appear'.
Haven't you been following the news ?
Oh hang on ........... I've just re-read and noticed this [i]"more likely hush it up a few slapped wrists and nothing really changes"[/i]
Hushed up ? Nothing will really change ?
You obviously [i]haven't[/i] read the news.
i've read the news, have you been on line and looked at the receipts? says it all, there is more black than white on many bits of paper. Then you hear that they were told to reveal partial postcodes but they don't.
You have an inquiry into Iraq where Blair doesn't want it to be held in public so it isn't.
Do you really believe that the Police investigation will result in anyone going to jail, or even getting a suspended sentence? I doubt any will get past the CPS.
Then you have the effort that parliament into preventing the release of the expenses, and most of has since come out has nothing to do with what was officially released, because the censorship prevents it.
Then you look at what has been claimed, the payment of non existent council tax, the forgetting th mortgage had been paid off

Except Gordon was forced into a humiliating turnaround and it will be public now.
Hopefully, those MPs claiming for things they never had to pay (i.e. council tax) will go to jail or at least be convicted fraud thereby finishing their careers. The duck houses and moats were bad but at least they existed.
MP's seem to have asbestos under-garments! It's a complete white-wash!!
