MP expenses cheat gets away scott-free.
The MP that fiddled the highest amount on expenses, Margaret Moran, 57, will not go to jail.A judge has agreed that she was “mentally unfit to stand trial”. Moran has got a “two-year supervision and treatment order.” at even more cost to taxpayers!
So much for “tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime”, especially when it is in Whitehall!
This greedy bitch defrauded the hard-working British taxpayers out of £53,000 by forging invoices and claiming for bogus repairs on her second homes. But hey, getting caught has resulted in a mental illness and she can get away scott-free. Even worse, she even gets to keep the money she swindled because “she has not been found guilty of any crime.” Does this mean anyone can go and rob a bank, have a breakdown and get to keep the money?
To add insult to injury for British taxpayers Moran is even getting a £26,852 in a resettlement grant given to MPs when they leave parliament. This for a bitch that still has over £1million property portfolio with homes in Westminster, Luton and Southampton.
Never mind, “we are all in it together” - aren’t we?
The British public should make it a New Year's resolution to petition their MP and add Twitter comments until MORAN pays back the money she STOLE from all of us and is given the Jail sentence she deserves.

Well she should be committed to Broadmoor until she is "well enough" to be prosecuted. I bet she would recover double quick then.

Re: MP expenses cheat gets away scott-free.
That's so discouraging. We had our own uproar in London, Ontario (Canada) recently when the mayor, Joe Fontana, was charged after it was discovered that he paid for the reception hall for his son's wedding with government funds while he was a member of Parliament (prior to leaving that to run for mayor). There are demands that he step down. He refuses.We elect officials, we place our trust in them, and we are let down time and again. I've heard the wisecrack that those best fit to run the country are too smart to get involved with politics.
