Why are moles worse than expense cheats?

The search for a government mole who is offering to sell details of M.P.s expenses looks like it is being taken far more seriously than any attempt to stop M.P.s from cheating on their expenses. Apparently the mole has breached trust..but then, so have the M.P.s, surely?

    The reason it is being taken so seriously is because the expenses would be just the tip of the iceberg, a mole digs deep, creates a lot of dirt, makes a nuisance of themselves and are blooming difficult to eradicate. They are worried that this "mole" will dig deep enough and shovel up all manner of other dirt that they certainly do not want made public and the mole would be the only one to survive.

    In the NHS we are sent on whistle blowing courses to enable us to be vigilant of slackers let alone fraudsters, to save every penny possible. Why? Because we get so little money from the government that it has to be spent very wisely indeed!

    Whether you like it or not, we the public need moles just to let us know what slimy, under-hand tactics are being used by all these so called politicians, who really think they untouchable.

    Moles or whistle blowers take your pick, have always come up with the goods when in my opinion it has been for the public good,even just to make everyone aware.

    a chuckle how the dyed interior the wool Labour apparatchik's constantly deliver destructive previous Maggie in to the shortcomings of this contemporary government. Maggie has been out of place of work for two decades and Labour have been working/ruining the rustic for better than twelve years doing no longer something approximately it different than lining their wallet alongside with something of our M.P.'s. They equate with earnings cheats different than they have succeeded previous the wildest desires of maximum earnings cheats.
