We need to start really holding our politicians to account and jailing those who commit fraud by lying

Just read the following in a great article by Peter Oborne:

Scandalously, defenders of the Government argue that this culture of deception is of no real importance — simply part of the cut-and-thrust of political debate. I disagree most vehemently.

Imagine, for example, that the chairman of one of our large private companies, such as BP, had conducted himself as Gordon Brown has done in recent weeks and lied to the Stock Market about BP’s future investment and spending plans. He’d have been forced out of his job by now.

Indeed, it is also highly likely that he would have been visited by the City of London fraud squad and be facing a jail sentence.

It occurs to me that this is precisely what's wrong right now. Gordon Brown should have been arrested by now and be on trial for fraud. In Labour's modernised without morales society they lie as they breath. There need to be consequences.

Brown has condemned our country to poverty for a generation - he should stand trial for the contested truths he spouts ( just as a company director would ) and assuming he gets convicted be sent to prison for a decade.
