Hain the brain DEAD.

clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk MPs' expenses: Peter Hain's new wife, new home and new shed roof According to Mr Hain’s files, he asked if he could claim the mortgage interest on a £440,000 new home which be bought with his second wife Elizabeth Hayward in 2004 — as well as claiming for his former home six miles away. An official wrote: “You propose to deal with the cross-over period by claiming the interest on both mortgages from the ACA. I am afraid, regrettably, that this is not permissible since only one home can be nominated at any one time.”

The most annoying comment current around the airwaves is... "if we sack them all where do we get the political experience we need?". What a stupid multiple statement which is indicative of the lack of brains the political elite espouse on the ordinary folk.
The debacle with so-called expenses and allowances just indicates that all those found out are incapable of any form of respect, any classification of knowledge, any moral integrity.
Not only should the likes of Hain be put before a jury, all those who publicly endorse their criminal actions should be barred from all public office.
The role of the local selection committee has been proven to be bankrupt. The era of secret cabals should once and for all be swept into the gutter along with every public servant who claims false accounts whilst poverty struck single mothers are criminalised for not declaring a couple of quid they get for a few hours work in their local chippie.
