Another FACT that some of you may be unaware of. It was the British National Party's very own sleazebuster, Michael Barnbrook, who initiated the entire review of MPs' expenses.

Mr Barnbrook, a former Metropolitan police inspector, who is also the BNP's spokesman on police matters, was the one who first raised the matter with a written complaint to Mr John Lyon, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, against Tory MP Derek Conway. It was that complaint which resulted in the first review of MPs' expenses.

Michael is also a great guy, he called Nick "The new Churchill". Come the hour, come the man.
