    On the subject of Laws.

    Did anyone read Rod Liddle at the weekend.

    There are 17 other homosexual MP's; not one of them felt the need to steal from the taxpayer to hide that fact.

    The excuse Laws has given all along is no excuse at all.

    I hope if I am ever stupid enough to break the law all I will get as punishment is 1 week's holiday from work on full pay.

    I suppose the other 16 were openly Gay to their family.

    He would have been paying rent or claiming expenses for somewhere as his Constituency home was in Yeovil.

    That's the main point which a lot of people here haven't understood. He was entitled to claim money to stay in London anyway, and could have claimed more if he had done so in a different way. This story has been blown out of all proportion.

    The point is he doesn't get to decide which rules he can breach, whatever the reason.
