Wake up and smell the truth, they just don't want us to know what they have been up to. Would anyone else be allowed to use such delaying tactics? I just do not believe that anyone could not find out where they all live. It's a load of red herrings and rubbish, what a cover up! How long should we give them, one month, one year?

Every MP knows they're up to no good with their expenses and people are suspicious that they are cheating us. The fact that they are delaying and delaying is proof (in my eyes) that they are covering their tracks. Nothing more nothing less. Don't get me wrong. I have no respect for any politician so I don't expect politicians to be decent or honest, no matter how many of them jump up and say they are hardworking ordinary people with problems just like the rest of us. I pay taxes, they pilfer them. Anything that stops their pilfering - or makes them more accountable - is good. We wont stop them being greasy lying cheating scum bags but we should be able to stop them dipping into our pockets when they feel like it.

MPs have been attacked before, so some might have a legitimate fear of being attacked again. They do have something to fear, don’t they?
