Yeah But...

There's been so much written about the MPs expenses scandal, what's the point of adding to it? Well, because i am angry, and I hope that you are angry too, and keep being angry! A number of the MPs will be hoping that now Speaker Martin has been removed, if they keep their heads down for a couple of weeks it will all blow over and, whilst they may loose a few perks, they will still be in a job, that pays a decent wage with a very good pension. Well lets not let them keep their heads down, unless it is with shame. 
Don't let them get away with yeah but .. it was within the rules. If they had any judgement at all they knew that it was wrong. But did anyone really try to get things changed. Even David Cameron, who has taken advantage of the situation to demonstrate a few leadership skills, he must have known that you could ride a coach and horses through the allowances scheme, and get the tax payer to pay for the horses. Yet it was not until the cover was blown that there was a lot of huffing and puffing about the need to change the rules.
If any MP that feels that the daily Telegraph has questioned their integrity, then let him, or her, stand down and ask the electorate for their opinion. 
And if the MPs won't stand down, then let us all do what they have done to Speaker Martin. Let us all, shout out as loud and as often as it takes to get them to resign.
 Its clear that Gordon Brown is not going to call an election one moment before he has to, so the only way get a real change is for the electorate to tell them to go, and to go now. 
Although we have had reports on the TV and in the papers about just how angry the public are about the revelations I don't think that it has been displayed as much as an eviction, or non eviction from Big Brother. 
Write to the paper, phone the local radio station, email and write to your MP and tell him to resign so that we can have an election.  Tell them not to pass Go, not to collect another £200 but to go, go now, and we may not shout too loudly if they don't go directly to Jail.
