Sunday Sleaze
The Attorney General, Baroness Scotland flouted the tax laws, broke employment laws she herself drafted and fiddled £170,000 in expenses. She was given a £5,000 fine for what she described as “technical breach of the rules”. The rest of us call it breaking the law. As far as Guido knows the only other issue she faces is a Bar Standards Council investigation for bringing the Bar into disrepute. The Attorney General has got off very lightly…
You could argue that her former maid, Loloahi Tapui, also committed a “technical breach of the rules” in overstaying her visa. She now facescharges and a prison sentence. Does anyone else feel that the weight of the law is falling disproportionately on Lolo?

Cameron’s Tactical Blond Moment – Martin Ivens Stephen Greenhalgh said… “My mates are all in the shadow Cabinet, waiting to get those [ministerial] boxes, being terribly excited… I went to university with them, they haven’t run a piss-up in a brewery… they’re going to get a department of state, in one case running the finances of the nation.”
