dune Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 I wonder why? Because he was a trouble maker in the Conservative Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 Because he was a trouble maker in the Conservative Party. Be fair though, he had a natural sense of rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 The French have just finished a campaign to collect unpaid or underpaid taxes and repatriate capital illegally held in offshore accounts. Managed to collect a billion in taxes and penalties from about 4000 offenders and have 7 billion repatriated by compulsion. 11K£ seems a drop in the ocean really, even though it was the result of a swindle.

Clapham Saint Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 The amount of the "swindle" is irrelevant. It was a swindle and he deserves everything he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Bognor Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 Yes he was a tory, but just to stir things up he is a University Chancellor and (Verbal will like this) he was involved in the film industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenevaSaint Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 I hope he gets the book thrown at him, at least the two (?) others found guilty so far have admitted their crime, this fella carried on denying it. I don't usually buy into "remorse" getting you a shorter sentence, but the stretch should be increased here as he was obviously guilty and continued to take the ****,.
