Here's the deal: you're disabled and on benefits, and a vast amount of so-called middle England views you as an inherent scrounger. You're struggling on ESA, and get caught doing the odd bit of cash in hand. No one hurt or any harm done, but you could get banged up very easily. You're homeless and out of necessity you get caught shoplifting so you can survive, and you get a criminal record.
You defraud £40,000 although you already have a personal mulit-million pound fortune that you earned in the City, prior to venturing into Politics. ( Even if you had been entitled to the forty grand, under those circumstances to claim it in the first place would be obscene). Anyway, you get caught pilfering, you use your sexuality as an excuse that is an appalling insult to gay people , you get put on Gardening Leave for a couple of months, and then you get handed a nice fat job back as a result, whilst other thieving politicians from the other side have rightly been sent down. We all know it's just 'unfortunate luck' for the poor old fat cats who get caught out, and otherwise it's business as usual.
However, this is way beyond taking the piss. It's a fucking outrage.
