    Seriously?

    Ok, so the son admitted he was guilty but the dad is going to contest this?

    How does that make sense? Surely if the son was innocent, he should plead innocent?

    If you think the current government is worse than the previous one for scandals, you clearly have a very short memory or aren't old enough to remember it.

    Also, this is his son, not the MP himself. With the Tories, it was the MPs themselves (Jonathan Aitken, Jeffrey Archer, Neil Hamilton - to name but a few).

    Perhaps if *your* son commits a crime you think that everybody should regard you as corrupt too?
