Oh please, please do

Some members are threatening to go to court to avoid repaying money demanded by Sir Thomas Legg, the independent auditor. Others are considering challenging their party leadership for banning them as candidates over their expenses.

So far, more than 100 MPs have said they will step down at the next election, including many who made questionable or controversial expenses claims.

I have to echo Tom Paine on this one:

If these aggrieved gentles act on their threats, the effects will be wonderful. Some lawyers will make an honest living. The corruption of our members of parliament will be kept in the public gaze throughout the next election campaign. Labour will have its resources sapped to deal with the litigation. Some might even win, forcing the worst enemy ever known to the British working class to divert money from its election war chest to the payment of their damages. Some of them will undoubtedly lose, to further humiliation. Best of all, I would not put it past a high quality civil court judge to berate the Crown Prosecution Service for not having brought them to justice.

It would all be just too delicious. Please do it guys. Pretty please.

What he said.

Do it, you unbelievably conceited and corrupt parasites.  Watching your smug, entitled and cosy little world collapse in on itself  when the public are finally woken up to the sheer scale of your rapacious greed will be  a wonder to behold.  I’m salivating here.

So by all means carry on as you are, ‘cause I’m buying fucking popcorn this time.
