it's a huge issue - the 'elected officials' seem to have committed vast amounts of fraud with taxpayers money.

yes.
they
seem to
but it is not the same. Anyone working in a private company got a pay rise, or moved jobs. Expenses were used as wage top up. We all know this yet instead the country is being spun this ridiculous idea that somehow the MPs 'hood winked' the entire system.
MPs are NOT master criminals. They are not brilliant fraudsters. Most of them can barely spell and I've yet to meet one who I would trust to add up ...
You need to understand that everything that happened was
known
What is
known and persists is
sanctioned
The public (mob) are being willfully diverted down an entirely misleading path - and gleefully mislead because it sells more papers.
