In the UK recently, one of our newspapers has uncovered a scandal in our Politicians expenses claims.
Basically, our politicians are able to claim expenses, such as food bills and also things for their 2nd homes such as furniture and decorating etc. (as they have one home in London and one in the constituency which they represent)
Now, what has been happening is that politicians have been falsely and knowingly claiming for things they have not purchased or claiming for things out of the remit of the expenses system.
Since the scandal was exposed, many Politicians have come out and said that they will pay the money back, sometimes up to £250,000 of false claims and this has been accepted by the authorities.
However, my question is that if this were a normal person who had falsely and knowingly claimed benefits that they knew they were not entitled to, would paying them back be sufficient?
