When I read this article, for a minute, I thought April Fools Day had come early, as Lord Bew, the Chairman of The Committee on Standards in Public Life, must have a very naive understanding of how devious, the minds of many of our politicians can be, especially when it comes to their personal finances ;-) |

Well I certainly don't have a "jaundiced" view of the MP's . |

Sad to say. I feel that many of them don't live in the real world..........and their own morals, or lack of them decide their outlook over others. |

If ever there is a group of human beings who are generally regarded as pariahs in our society today, it is those called 'Politicians'. |

Trouble is all get tarred with the same brush. How many really are shysters? probably not more than 5% (if you apply 95-5 rule) Maybe even less in reality but it always seems like more when you read the stories in the papers. It is all down to perception which is why this initiative isn't necessarily a bad thing. |

Going by the recent disclosure regarding the clock in & clock out and pick up your £300 daily attendance allowance allegations about a member of the House of Lords, if and I say if because we only have the comments of the member concerned to go on, on his lowest figure some 6% of peers are at it and on his highest figure it is some 50% of peers that are at it. |
