Still doesn't explain why he hasn't gone on here or twitter condemning the rent scam MP's, he was very quick to tweet about Osbornes fare dodging attempt but went very quiet when it was pointed out in the press that Labour MP's were at it too.
I refer to my original post 'double standards'!

In fairness, I've asked what may look on the face of it to be petty questions at Council but they usually all boil down to the same thing - money. Are those in charge running things in a way which is best for the taxpayer or simply for themselves? It doesn't matter what side of the fence you sit, if it's crooked then it's crooked. I feel sure that Graham would say the same, he isn't the party-blinded bigot that some people choose to believe.
The whole Sky/Newscorp thing did not sit well with me and all and neither did the Virgin Trains debacle either, particularly since public opinion was so firmly against both. George Osborne has come under particular scrutiny because he's the Chancellor, for goodness sake.
Public office demands that you are beyond reproach. Those who forget this are liable to be found out....
