Here's a thing: on a wider level, if you look back at the likes of Dickens and Hogarth (to name but two) there has always been corruption in the UK. But until the expenses scandal, there seemed to be a generalised sense that corruption was what 'they' did.
Was there some (brief) halcyon time when there wasn't any corruption (or much) or is it really all just a myth?
