# Oh they all need to be shot.
The thing is, when I was saying 'All politicians are lying, self-serving, self-important, selfish scum only in it for themselves at the expense of whoever they can screw' two weeks ago, as I had been doing for years and years and years and years, people would reply with 'Oh you're just trying to be fashionably cynical'.

I don't know who I hate more - the politicians or the general public for being surprised and shocked.

# Because they didn't know about it.
Outrage doesn't mean surprise. But I agree a lot of people seem shocked and I wonder why too.

Then I remember the public are idiots who think what the Sun wants them to think.

# It depends
whether you were saying that from the perspective of having looked into a large number of MP's personal arrangements, or from the perspective of just not bothering and writing them all off on some vague impression?
