Who paid her legal fees, surely she didn't get legal aid? Or if she is so brass necked maybe she did? She implies she hasn't got a brass wazoo, and that her MP's money was her sole source of income.
She lied and broke the law - she has a criminal record and so loses her job and income from it as it is supposed to be a position where she can be trusted. Now several hundred hours community service and then a job she would hate on minimum wage.
