MPs expenses official secrets

Just seen this on the BBC website about the hawking of MPs expenses:

"It's probably breach of the Official Secrets Act," Sir Stuart said. "It may be a theft, but we will get to the bottom of it. In the public interest, by the way."

So there expenses are covered by the Official Secrets Act. What a wonderful thing it is when you are judge and jury....

'right lads here is a very nice perk - loadsa money and no tax but let's keep knowledge of it from those who elected us'

I bet they all put a grand (which they claim on expenses) in to a pot and the person who grabs the most expenses gets the pot.

In Parliament they refer to one another as 'honourable'. I refer to them as scheming theiving toerags.

Don't fret. They are not covered by the OSA.

In fact they are actually in the public domain. All you have to do is request them.
