VOTE FOR ME, I LIVE IN A MORAL VACUUM.
This really is a beaut. At a Remembrance jolly former coalition army minister, the unspeakable smarmhead, Sir Nick "Nick" Harvey, MP, was sandbagged by a former WREN, incensed at his previously claiming a few coppers to cover his expenses to a previous Remembrance do.
In front of assembled reptiles she stiffed him with an envelope, published below in the Telegraph, refunding the rotten bastard's expenses, for the second time. It is not known whether, in true frontbench LibDem style, Sir Nick eats faeces from rentboys' arses but he has all the hallmarks. His slithery response is below, as is the fact that he did the same thing the following year.
The MP said: "Two years ago my monthly travel claim for November
inadvertently included the mileage cost for attending the Act of
Remembrance.
"Had I spotted that individual item I would not have claimed for it, even
though it was permissible within the rules.
"Unfortunately I did not notice it: we are all capable of human error and
regrettably this was one on my part.
"When the matter was subsequently drawn to my attention I apologised
immediately and paid the sum in question (and rather more) to a veterans'
charity collection.
"I certainly had not intended the slightest disrespect to our service
personnel and veterans.
"The matter was extensively aired in the media some 18 months ago. As far
as I am concerned, once I realised what had happened I acknowledged my
mistake, apologised and made reparation.
"If Ms Laing supplies me with a postal address I would like to return the
£7 to her to donate to a veterans' charity as she sees fit."
It emerged that the MP had claimed Remembrance Day expenses in May 2012.
You just have to love the "And rather more" Doncha.
