I'll never forgive these inept Leaders who were in it themselves.

After over a week of public revelations of the extent of excessive claiming of expence monies by MPs there are still more to be exposed.

From Mars bars to Swimming pools, from a few pence for stamps to £1000+ for TVs and Hi Fi's the list seems endless.

These almost fraudulent claims seem to cross all social classes, from the hoi-poloi to the Aristos, and all levels of education, from secondary school oiks to Oxbridge graduates. Its disgusting.

Now the question is, how do we repair the damage and restore the "Honourable" to how we can refer to our MPs.

We need an independent panel to define MPs wages and expences. A panal consisting of a senior Judge, two businessmen, real accountants and at least half a dozen ordinary people, two office workers, two physical workers and two working class OAPS. half of this panel should be rotated every two years. This would stop any embedded corruption forming.

These panelists should get no more than double the minimum wage and an allowence for two star hotel accomodation if they have to travel more than 50mils each way. travel to be by 2nd class. and say £25/day for food and sundries. All claims to be supported by receipts.

We can not leave a panel like this to a cosy bunch of PMs or Peers mates.

But as its going to be Gorgon Brown and possibly Cameron and Clegg who decide this do not expect any real reform. Remember all three have had their snouts in the trough too!
