Break the rules...claim loads of money...get caught...say "sorry" (and get to keep the money).

Job's a good 'un, as they say.

Ms Smith, expected to apologise to MPs later, will not have to pay money back but was "disappointed" at the outcome.

Disappointed? I'd be over the moon if I'd been potentially facing a conviction for fraud and only got a slap on the wrist.

We couldn't deny him what must be his only pleasure in life, surely?

I think the state should pay for a medal, not just porn!
