Laws Unto Themselves

Right, it is only two weeks into this new government and I am sick of it already!

David Laws has had to resign because he was fleecing £40,000 off the taxpayer, claiming for rent on an apartment that was owned by the person he was having a relationship with.

The sex of the person he was having a relationship with is totally immaterial. The thing that is important is the £40k he was claiming.

However, this totally seems to have bypassed Cameron, Clegg and co who are lining up to portray Laws as the victim.

Victim? Give us a break and please stop insulting our intelligence.

“..this has come about because of David's intense desire to keep his own private life private.”

That is a quote from our deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. Again I say, don’t insult our intelligence. It has not come about because of that. If Laws wanted that, he would not have claimed the rent. It has come about because of MPs intense greed.

For the new government, in particular the Lib Dems, to be vociferously defending Laws’ position, is simply sickening. The Lib Dems prided themselves on standing on the ticket of cleaning up politics so for them now to be defending Laws is unacceptable.

It is hardly surprising that the public is turning their back on politics in droves when they are promised one thing, then barely three weeks later, they get another.
