John,

I quote :

(a) Party leader David Cameron said the agreement of a particular MP to
make a repayment did not indicate guilt or a breach of the rules.

(b) He added the party had gone beyond Labour and the Liberal  
Democrats in
considering whether claims had been disproportionate and not just
whether they fell within the rules.

Who is he kidding?

(a) What, then, did it indicate?  Innocence? Adherence to the rules?  
If they
did nothing wrong, why pay anything back?  If they did wrong, why no
punishment?

(b)  This is waffle. The subject at issue is NOT who said what to who  
about
claims and how often.  It is not some stupid playground game.  The only
point is that a large number of people arrogated to themselves the  
right to
spend large amounts of cash that was not theirs to spend.

Hugh.
=========================

Hugh, I agree. Post your comments to David Cameron and see what he  
says...

I'd be surprised if you get an answer.
