Sorry to cut the rest of your post, but this is rubbish. I don't think that anyone with half a brain thinks that all MPs have fiddled their expenses (what with there being proof that some didn't actually claim for anything at all) - what you wrote wasn't a catch-all phrase; it was, as I noted previously, a sweeping generalisation that was, in actuality, not so much wide of the mark as in a different timezone.

No-one would dare to suggest that there aren't any number of people (doctors included) who would take the quick buck option, but lumping them all into the same pot (and then describing them as 'usually drunk') is grossly unfair to those who try to work the system in aid of the benefit claimant - some of them do exist, you know.

You obviously have an agenda (political or otherwise) involving this subject - whilst many may agree or disagree with regards to the changes that are provisionally being made to the benefits system, this does not give you the overbearing right to proclaim your opinion the right one. In fact, the very fact that you appear to be doing this rather suggests that it probably isn't...
