Cough Up Thief

Always one to spectacularly fail at gauging public mood, Alan Simpson, the deluded lefty is

refusing

to pay back excessive cleaning costs as ordered by Legg and his leader. He claims he didn't break the rules, however TB would like to ask Mr Simpson how exactly this cleaning perk was "wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred for the purposes of carrying out their duties as an MP."

Exactly. Cough up.

PS. Let it not be forgotten who Alan Simpson's staffer is these days. No wonder he is doing such a good PR job. He may have been able to silence his mates on the local paper in Nottingham with some preemptive phonecalls, but don't think TB hasn't forgotten about this little case.

PPS. For those lefties moaning about the fact TB hasn't mentioned the Wilshire case, do your homework - TB made his feelings perfectly clear last night.
