Brown - Don't keep politics to the rich

A source close to the Prime Minister said Mr Brown would tell Sir Christopher that the vast majority of MPs were "decent, hard-working individuals" who did not come into politics to milk the system, but that the scandal, uncovered by The Telegraph , showed there were also some "bad apples". 

Brown is to tell Sir Christopher Kelly that his reforms should not be so stringent as to make politics the domain of the rich. Could he perhaps leave some leeway for a little corruption, fraud and dishonesty? Perhaps allow a teensy bit of false claiming, grasping what they are not really entitled to, from the scummy taxpayers they pretend to serve? Please?

Unfortunately, politics has, and always will be, the exclusive domain of the greedy and dishonest. I have nothing but contempt asnd disdain for every single one of them.
