Disappointed, but not surprised 
Must find out if my local sleaze merchant chapman will have to repay the cash he was given AFTER he’d paid off his mortgage .

I can't understand why she does not have to pay the money back. 
Surely any money taken in breach of the rules should be paid back at the very least?!
You have to understand. These people are scum. They don't operate by the same rules as us. In any other walk of life the likes of Smith, Baroness Thieving b Surely any money taken in breach of the rules should be paid back at the very least?!
d Uddin, Lord Thieving Scum Paul and the rest of these criminals would be sacked and prosecuted. It's a national disgrace. unrepentant said:

But when payments that were not LEGAL were made then the Revenue should get involved. And the cops. Blimmin' apologies do not cut it. The MPs should have to repay the money and the Fees Office officials who gave bad advice should be fired.

I'm sorry - not bloody good enough! 
If she was found to have breached the rules then she should pay the money back.
I disagree.If she was found to have breached the rules then she should pay the money back.
If they are found to have breached the rules then they have committed fraud/theft and ought to be prosecuted for it.
Nothing less will do.
Apologise to the house eh?
Hows about the bh apologises to the tax payers who she stole the money from and then pays the price anyone else would have to if they had stolen from their employers? I for one would like to see the police called into this to deal with a case of fraud and theft, sick of these untouchable scum we seem to have in power.

under rules up to 2004 she HAD to make her london home the main residence.
she thought she would spend more time in london being a minister and kept it as the main home which the fees office agreed with.
analysing the past though it seems she did end up spending more time in redditch but at the same time she was actually using the london home unlike a lot of others.
so imho she should apologise for the claims for films and maybe be fined but apart from that whats the big deal IN THIS ONE CASE

That 'Break-dancing' pensioner from that Britains Got the Talent Factor Strictly Show has been ordered to pay back the incapacity benefits he'd claimed for.
Now, although I think this is completely justified, I don't see why he should be forced to pay it back if Jacqui Smith and the likes aren't themeselves forced to pay back the money they stole.
It's a clear example of how there is one rule for us, and another for the Bar stewards running the country.

cant believe im defending her!
Lets face it, the rules these idiots have managed to breach were written by themselves so you have to be going some in the stupidity, greed or arrogance stakes to fall foul of them.
