And NOT to pay for private tax advice with my money to accountants, so he can claim more of money back, and then to also pay his wife to do effectively the same job!<br /><br />Whilst Mr Burstow is not one of the worst offenders, he is not whiter than the shade of Daz he purports to be.

Not only did I fail to mention Chris Grayling, but I failed to mention a few hundred other MPs of all parties that have been named in the Daily Telegraph investigation.<br /><br />The point of the article is not to provide another commentary on the expenses system, but to show the opportunism of one LibDem MP whose second home is obviously a glass house. <br /><br />The party has just been reported to the police for misrepresenting the European Election voting system, using their usual hackneyed two-horse race graph in a ballot which as they have argued for decades means that every vote, even for minor parties has an effect.<br /><br />Now, they seek to use the expenses scandal as an electoral tool, when a) Paul Burstow has claimed for sorting out his self assessment tax, which in my opinion, is not an appropriate expense to hand to the taxpayer.<br />b) Whichever party wins the Nonsuch by-election, the result will not have the remotest effect on the changes needed in Parliament but will have a significant bearing on the North Cheam and Worcester Park area.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547393240463525682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28918367.post-33877561096281399472009-06-26T23:10:30.376+00:002009-06-26T23:10:30.376+00:00Yah-Boo politics Paul?

Amazing how you fail to mention, for instance, Chris Grayling, who was exposed in the national press (pretty close to Sutton & Cheam I believe Epsom is), went to ground for a while and is still be investigated according to the Telegraph. Amazing you failed to mention the £250,000 plus that Tory MP's (Liars Cheats and Crooks according to some journalists), have been forced to pay back. I don't think anybody reading this can take lessons in probity here. After all, there aren't many moats and duck houses in Sutton are there?Cllr David Picklesnoreply@blogger.com
