Plebgate!

[Grandpappy]

So Keith Vaz supports 1 tory politician over 3 policemen!
And to think that he was found guilty of fiddling his expenses and stealing money off the electorate of this country and he also, is still in his job.
Has this country ever been so corrupt?

// Has this country ever been so corrupt? //

Always. We just probably weren't as aware of it.

[Hypognosis]

Had it not been for Plebgate and a suggestion for us all by someone on AB, I'd never have had a look at Vaz's Wikipedia page. Talk about eye-opening!

Then again, if you want someone who can see straight through the dissimulation of devious persons, you need an even more devious person.

From Keith Vaz wiki page.

"Keith Vaz, who lives in Stanmore, a 45-minute journey time from Parliament, claimed mortgage interest on a flat in Westminster he bought in 2003"

Stanmore is on the edge of London.

Plenty of people commute from Stanmore to central London every day, some commute from even further out.

Why on earth does he need a second home IN London (on expenses) .

Surely for the few times he needs to stay late in London he should stay in a hotel rather than we having to pay his mortgage on his second home.
