Could we really be this lucky?

Labour MPs may sue over expenses | Politics | The Observer.
If these aggrieved gentles act on their threats, the effects will be wonderful. Some lawyers will make an honest living. The corruption of our members of parliament will be kept in the public gaze throughout the next election campaign. Labour will have its resources sapped to deal with the litigation. Some might even win, forcing the worst enemy ever known to the British working class to divert money from its election war chest to the payment of their damages. Some of them will undoubtedly lose, to further humiliation. Best of all, I would not put it past a high quality civil court judge to berate the Crown Prosecution Service for not having brought them to justice.
It would all be just too delicious. Please do it guys. Pretty please.
A win-win scenario then.

I wonder if they've thought that one out. Not with pounds signs in their eyes, I'd warrant.

Yes! Please! Don't shoot yourselves in the foot, actually shoot yourselves in the face! Labour at least are going to be bankrupt after the election, anything that brings their final doom a little closer has got to be good.
OK, everybody say NOTHING: don't laugh, don't complain, just shush...
