Yeah, so they all 'obeyed the rules', but with rules as lax as those governing MPs' expense claims wouldn't the intelligent person think carefully about how those claims might be perceived. Of course, if everyone is at it and the government actively tries to block such information coming into the public domain then then why not stick your snout in the trough. It's all you can eat at the Westminster club. These servants of the people haven't simply offended common decency; for this they should all be hounded from Parliament for undermining the public's faith in such an important office. It's major incidents like this and all the minor ones that we tolerate, but shouldn't, that chip away at the foundations of a society, that dissolve the ties of trust that pull us together. For this they should be facing punishment. As it is no one is saying sorry and the police are being asked to investigate the crime of who leaked this information to the press. Of course they are. Because them's the rules when you have the power.
