For our politicians, if we can't trust them not to abuse their positions (even if they have technically acted within the rules that they wrote for themselves) then how can we trust them to carry out their public duties in an appropriate way? The post of Home Secretary is one of the great offices of state, yet the current incumbent diminishes it by her actions - she obviously considers that it is acceptable to claim expenses as noted in the table, because they are "necessary in order for her to fulfill her public duties"?Sorry Miss Smith, but your greed disgusts me, as does the contemptuous attitude displayed by you and your cohorts across the party political spectrum. Unfortunately the European Parliament also has its share of greedy self-serving parasites - if you haven't already done so, have a look at the short video by a German investigative TV crew or read this piece from the Independent.
If this behaviour disgusts you too, then make a stand on June 4th and vote for an Independent Jury Team candidate.
