Well, it might be a ramble but the undeniable facts are that Laws claimed £40,000 expenses fraudulently, but no serious punitive action was taken against him as he was 'on side', and he's now in line for another prominent position. I also think to use his sexuality as an excuse for this fraud is a gross insult to gay people.
If you had your hand in the till at work, and when caught out, made a pathetic excuse and handed the cash back, what do you think would happen to you?
Edit: Considering the current trend of baying for the blood of the 'workshy' and benefit fraudsters,( re. DLA, the reality is between 1-5 %, but hey, who needs facts ) the level of bare faced hypocrisy in this instance is staggering.
