The UK Independence party MEP Tom Wise is being investigated over allegations that he embezzled tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money. Police are looking into claims, which appeared in The Sunday Times last year, that he claimed £36,000 a year in the name of a researcher paid a fraction of that sum.

Well if the old bill are looking into it then perhaps it will get resolved
perhaps also members of other parties who've allegedly done worse will now get investigated
