Seeing someone go to jail is not a great cause for celebration - expecially if their crime is not on a grand scale and does not involve violence.
But in the case of former Labour MP, David Chaytor - a jail sentence is most definitely deserved - because his theft of public money was deliberate and carefully planned.
In fact, you could argue that he got off rather lightly.
For someone who denied any wrongdoing until very late in the day - and who ultimately had no defence against the charges he faced.
MPs are not above the law - as David Chaytor now knows to his cost.
But the truth is that Chaytor would never had been caught - were it not for the Daily Telegraph newspaper - and the the Freedom of Information campaigners who helped expose the terrible scandal over MPs' expenses.
