I was shocked by what Stephen Fry had to say about it not being important, and that journalists are just as bad.
If journalists (or any other corporate employee) fiddle their expenses, their news organisation/paper (corporation) foots the bill.
If an MP fiddles their expenses, the tax payer foots the bill.
A bit different methinks!
Do have a read sometime of the alternative press. Private Eye has done some very revealing research on the tax affairs of certain newspaper proprietors. You may come to the conclusion that those of us who do pay tax are subsidising the press.
