Demeaning Of Office

From reports, the sight of Jacqui Smith touring television studios giving pathetic reasons why she has not committed fraud on the electorate must have been sickening! It is also demeaning to her high office that she should have allowed herself to be in the position she now is.

It was akin to a serial benefit cheat appearing in court and hoping against hope that similar pleas would result in no more than a suspended sentence.

Jacqui Smith and those of her ilk may well have avoided judgement for the present, however they will, shortly, be called back to the 'court of public opinion' - at which time the requisite sentence will be pronounced!
