It's difficult to understand because I don't for one minute think the exposure of it as being a gigantic con.

I believe it's highly motivated and not in the public interest that the paper who bought the stolen information would have you believe it was intended for.

I do also think a lot of the media seem to be targeting and favouring some while hardly mentioning things like Norman Tebbit telling Tory's to vote UKIP.

I am a believer in the system as you say but that's because it's not the system that is fucked as such it's the fact that some can use the system to make gain, even if the rules as they currently stand allow them to do it that is wrong.

I also believe that Green Dave acting as 'quickly' as he has is purely down to his ambitions and belief that it was showing his party in its true colours and it was to good a media opportunity not to act.

It's endemic and entrenched, the reason most people aim for politics nowadays are the perks of the job such as expenses. As for councillors, most of those have gone into that field purely for the perks - trips abroad, expenses, funds - they get alongside their employment or pension

I have to confess knowing John Wick very well.If fact I worked with him in the mid 90s.He's certainly a survivor and on the edge of a few things.Although he claims that his motives relate only to the Constitutional situation of Parliament and the Country,his first motivation would have been money.

However,he appears to have done the country a service,at least in this case!
