Tory MP paid nanny from expenses
"Conservative Party chairman Caroline Spelman has admitted using her MP's parliamentary allowance for payments to her children's former nanny.
Ms Spelman told BBC's Newsnight that the money, paid in 1997 and 1998, was for secretarial work the nanny did".
Two things that jump out at me in this report. The first is that the Tory party believes dishonesty and integrity are one and the same thing, and the second is that answering the odd phone call hardly justifies a secretarial salary.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
