Corrupt Commons loses bid for secrecy on swindled expenses

Having thrown more taxpayer's money down the drain in an attempt to continue to cover-up their disgraceful defrauding of the taxpaying citizen, the main question hanging over Westminster this weekend is whether these conscienceless tricksters will now waste yet more public funds in mounting an appeal. One report is here. Amongst the apparently fairly general abuse, that of the Leader of the Liberal Democrats, particularly stands out, read here. Nick Clegg, it appears will do anything for money, looking at his expenses claim and the long delay taken in making it public, one can only conclude that part of his treachery in breaking his party's manifesto promise on the EU Reform Treaty by not supporting a referendum (by abstention in the Commons but by voting with the Government in the Lords) might be partly driven over concerns about losing his EU pension earned while serving as a troughing MEP.
