MPs Expenses....Again (Sorry!) & The Daily Telegraph
Now that we know that the published expenses have been obscured to the point that the 'openness' is non-exisitent, it just goes to show what a fantastic public service The Daily Telegraph has served.
Tomorrow they are publishing a special supplement listing all MPs expenses.
As the published expenses have been obscured, why were the MPs fighting for so long before TDTG reports not to have them published?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If the documents were published in their uncensored form, then a lot of MPs would be caught, that is why they fought to keep them secret.
Once the courts forced Parliament to publish the documents, they used spurious reasons such as data protection laws to obliterate the documents and hide most of the wrong-doing.
Every MP appears on the electoral roll and it is not an infringement of any data protection laws to reveal where they live.
It will have taken months to censor all those documents, only for the Daily Telegraph to render all that censorship void by publishing the un-redacted versions.
To then publish the censored versions just made them look completely daft.
Well done the Daily telegraph.
