After weeks of torrid revelations regarding expenses claimed by our Members of Parliament Britain is still railing from the shock of what went on, and why those charged with policing the system did nothing. In fact if it was not for a Freedom of Information Request and the House of Commons being legally compelled to disclose their expenses, we would have never know. As such this site pays tribute to the 'whistleblower' who leaked the unedited expenses to the Daily Telegraph and to the Daily Telegraph for it full reporting of them.

Now that the House of Commons has published the expenses under the FOI the country stands angered at the wide scale editing of them and is now aware that if the Daily Telegraph had not covered the story in full before hand, that the public might never have known of the 'lucrative', 'elicit' and even 'fraudulent' claims being made by our MP's.

Did the House of Commons fail to police the rules, should the rules themselves have been written by the House, did they attempt to hide the truth from the public or was it worse did they attempt to hide acts of criminality and as such attempt to pervert the course of justice.

With politicians, one after another claiming 'they were only following orders' a defence not accepted in this country before, few have had the decency to fall on their swords. Rather it has been for the public to oust them. Below are some of the politicians who expenses have been called into question in recent days.
