Love the idea of the pillories, should bring back some other punishments from days gone by too.

I think the most annoying thing about the expenses scandal was that they weren't actually breaking the law. The system
allowed them to abuse it. Of course this begs the question, should someone be in public office if they don't understand the difference between their legal right and their moral responsibility?
I'd vote for horse-whipping and the birch. But it's Friday... I might feel a little less aggressive come Monday.
