Tory MP Derek Conway given a 12 month sentence
We know that disgraced Tory MP Derek Conway stole money from the public purse for his family. It is a further disgrace that he is only required to repay a fraction of what he stole. And it is disgraceful that he has been given a year to repay £13,160. Especially, given that "After the investigation by the Commissioner for Standards, Mr Conway made a profit of £163,000 from the sale of a property in Kent".
It is not being given a year to repay which hurts so much as his not being given a year in custody to teach him and all those other crooks at Westminister a lesson.
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.
