MPs *blank*: what a load of *blankety* *blank*

Are we playing a game of Blankety Blank with our MPs? Just look at the “redacted” expense forms that they have published:

redacted-mp-expenses

Making sense of any of the PDFs is virtually impossible with all the blacking out – and we get virtually no information from it.

We are very lucky that the Telegraph managed to get hold of the uncensored data or we would not know about pretty much all of the things that we have found so disgusting and have caused several MPs to say that they will stand down.

This so-called publication of MPs receipts has done nothing to help the politicians look good – rather, they look even worse! As if they’re trying to hide what has already been revealed.

What will be interesting is the compariosn when the Telegrpah publish both sets of details alongside each other, and we can see just how much they were trying to hide from us.
