Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Also his claims seemed to be for the same amount as his overdraft, how very convenient.
I have to say I'm surprised he's taking it to trial, his defence might be a popcorn moment.

4 months bird and 12 months tag for 30 grand. If that was advertised as a job there would be a queue round the block

I wonder if they were tears of remorse or indignation......
I do have some sympathy for him and his fellow jailbirds, however, since certain lordly snouts in the "Upper House's" much abused trough seem to have got off very lightly indeed.....

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
As one expenses cheat is convicted another is released after serving less than 1/3 of his sentence:
Quote:
|
Former MP David Chaytor has been released from jail after serving almost a third of his 18-month prison sentence for fiddling his expenses.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
Lord Taylor goes down for a year:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13599624
For someone with quite a legal brain, apparently, he seems to have had some issues differentiating between the basics of right and wrong.
Quote:
|
Southwark Crown Court heard he claimed travel costs between his Oxford home and Westminster, as well as subsistence for staying in London.
|
He'll be out in about 4 months no doubt.....

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
At least we now know why they made prison life easier and set up numerous early release schemes in the last few years!

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
I think it's so satisfying when somebody with "Lord" in their title gets sent down. Pity someone can't find Coe's been on the suck. God I really hate his sanctimonoius.
