Four MP's are being investigated by the Fraud squad for expenses claims.

Okay - they are 'minor' politicians and previous investigations by the Fraud squad (cash for honours for example) haven't led to prosecutions - but we can only hope!!!

As someone who was 'targeted' and persecuted for years by the benefits agency trying to 'get one on me' - even 5 years after the event (they never did as I wasn't making fraudulant claims) - I think the law on fraudulant claims should cover ALL parts of society!!

I agree ...........if they've commited fraud they should be judged the same as the rest of us. They are NOT above the law xx

The police, if they have spare time, are being encouraged to visit victims of crime. Perhaps they should visit the culprits instead.
