  Well your questions no 1 and no 2 are legitimate ones to ask BarryW. However it must be said that although Gwyn was indeed part of the gravy train system, most of all it was the system that was wrong, he hasnt at a glance defrauded anybody like some of them. Thats the important point to note. So although the whole system stinks, on the scale of things Gwyn's wasnt the worst, he didnt claim for a house he never lived in or remained empty, he didnt claim for a mortgage that didnt exist. Its the ones that defrauded the system that should be brought to book. You or I would be clobbered and jailed for some of this shenanigans. Throw the law at the lawbreakers most certainly. The ones that were just part of the gravy train will pay for it in the long run by not being returned by the people. The claims right across the House were outrageous and there is no coming back from this, particularly from the more outrageous claims and claimants who are despised.
  
  I have asked myself had I been there, an MP in parliament, would I have claimed in much the same way, well the chances are I would, because you get caught up in a system where...'everyone is doing it'.
