MPs are morally bankrupt

BEFORE the last election, the public received a mass of information on the criminal activities of a substantial number of Members of Parliament. It will remain a puzzle as to why only four have been before a Court of Law.

What was also apparent at that time, was that many of the members were also morally bankrupt, whilst others showed amazement that the general public were incensed at their clear mis-use of public money.

On page three of your issue of July 8, we read that at the last election Kevin Lister offered himself for election as a member of the Green Party in the Cotswolds constituency. Some people never seem to learn.

In creating such a website, designed to deceive, and attributing statements to a person who had never made such statements, then may we take this as an indication of Mr Lister's own standards. Is it unreasonable to think that those who wish to seek a position where they may dictate to the public should display a due regard for both statute law and the truth.
