What a bunch of scumbags!
My auntie was denied legal aid because she didn’t have money to contribute - smacks doesn’t it?
From the Independant today.
Three Labour MPs due to appear in court after allegedly abusing their expenses have risked angering voters further after they won their battle to have their legal fees paid by taxpayers.
David Chaytor, Elliot Morley and Jim Devine will all receive legal aid to fight their cases, despite earning a £65,000 annual salary as MPs. Each faces a maximum prison sentence of seven years if found guilty of false accounting. They stand accused of stealing almost £60,000 in allowances.
