At last, MP Tony McNulty is to be investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for his allowance claims of some £60,000!
What grates my teeth about this whole affair is the seemingly indifference to public opinion that McNulty has shown about it. If I never hear the quote “I’ve not broken any rules” again it won’t be too soon!
He may well not have broken any rules as they stand today – changing the rules is another discussion – but is he taking the mickey? I think so and he damn well knows it very well.
Will he or any of the other MP’s (from all Party’s) that are also taking the mickey suffer any real sanctions? I doubt it! Westminster is a closed club with its own rules and many secret deals.
It’s a shame that the offenders don’t seem to understand the harm that they are doing to all MP’s and particularly to the standing of politicians in general as viewed in everyone’s minds eye!
It won’t be too long (if this is not already happening) before we look at them through the same glasses that we use to view bankers and their recent appalling antics.
What can we do? Any suggestions?
