some crimes which are committed are far worse and get less of a prison sentence :Erm:

Yes but these grubs are supposed to be "honourable" having been elected to serve the public

In other words, these bent elected servers of the people knew better than us lowly mortals.

I agree Bornabirth, many of the general public get far lighter sentences for the same reason I have given above.

:gp: ... in my line of work, I used to see this happening all the time. For example, a youth who beats a defenceless :oldlady: within an inch of her life - for the sake of running off with her purse - might have a custodial sentence deferred ... or [at worst] serve 6 months in a Young Offenders' Institution :rolleyes: - whereas, someone found guilty of Fraud could be jailed for up to five years.

But ... :iagree: with Dedworth, that Chaytor ("Cheater" would've been more appropriate!) wilfully abused his position of trust as a Member of Parliament. And therein lies the difference! For this very reason, therefore, it is right and proper that nothing less than the full force of the law be meted out as a consequence of his actions. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Does he have to pay back the money he defrauded the British public out of too?
