A former New York police chief, Bernard Kerik who was hailed a hero after the September 11 2001 attacks, has been jailed after a federal judge revoked his bail ahead of a corruption trial.
"He has become the first police chief in the city's history to be thrown into jail.
In a hearing in White Plains, New York, Judge Stephen Robinson said he was revoking the $500,000 bail granted to Kerik, 54, who led the police under the previous administration of then-mayor Rudolph Giuliani".
If New York can jail an ex-police chief for corruption, why cannot we jail corrupt MPs who have fiddled their expenses?

The telegraph leaves out the reasons why the judge revoked bail.
Federal District Judge Stephen C. Robinson was unsparing in his criticism of Kerik's behavior, calling him a "toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance... And I fear that combination leads him to believe his ends justify his means.
Why do I think this so perfectly describes the McCanns. Toxic combination of self minded focus and arrogance.
