MP's expenses row grows again, �250 a month 'EACH' for tea and cakes?

I think the focus now should be on the vast sums stolen from the tax payer through house flipping, i'm not saying that tea and biscuits are not important but its about time that we demanded that these people be treated for what they are, criminals. They are criminals in the worst sense because they conspired to fraudulently deceive and obtain money from the British public. They should not be above the law, in fact they should be made an example of because they were put there to make the law and having broken it should pay the full price.
