/// Workers were repeatedly sworn at and branded “idiots” and “monkeys” ///

/// One MP shouted at staff: “this system is a ******* abortion” while another female MP said: “I am going to murder someone today.” ///

/// The names of MPs guilty of shouting or threatening at IPSA staff were blanked out of the document.///

This type of behaviour from certain MPS is unacceptable, and their names should not have been blanked out of the document which was released following a Freedom of Information request.

Because MP's live in a word where the simple rules that govern the rest of us - courtesy, accountability, basic civility etc. are not applied.

So for them, bad behaviour unpunished is simply business as usual.

One of them upset a worker so much she burst into tears. He bought her a box of chocs to say sorry. I wonder if he claimed for them? Bet he did!

You may remember that the MPs expenses were not revealed by FOI requests where the incriminating details were also blanked out, but a mole revealing the unexpurgated versions to the Daily telegraph. We could do with a similar whistleblower in this instance.

lynbrown, that was Denis MacShane, who has - deccently, I think - identified himself.

"This type of behaviour from certain MPS is unacceptable"

If the information was exacted by using a FOI request and the names of the "offenders" have been blanked it hardly resembles any form of freedom of information !

One of them, a Labour MP, appeared on the news trying to excuse himself. He said when he'd considered what he'd done he went a bought a large bouquet of flowers for the lady he'd offended.
That's all right then...
