The only good thing about this is the fresh new surge of MP's that'll hopefully not take the piss.

I think they'll come, it's early days yet. Most of the MPs expenses fiddling probably wouldn't secure a conviction as it was supposed to be a matter of personal integrity that they were relevant to the performance of their duties. This all helped by some pretty lax rules drafted by - themselves!

As for benefit fraud by Joe Public, if you devise a benefit someone will change their lifestyle or just lie to take advantage of it. Even when they get caught cheating the punishments handed down don't seem too onerous.
