Lord Taylor Of Warwick Feels Sick: Fishing Expeditions And Alleged Fiddles
IN what some are hailing as a victory for equality, a black Tory peer has been charged with fiddling his parliamentary expenses. Lord Taylor of Warwick faces six charges of false accounting. One in the eye for the racists, eh, readers. Top-level politicis is open to anyone so long as you’re vain and greedy enough enough.
Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer QC, puts the news in legalise:
“The first charge alleges that, on or about 31 March 2006, Lord Taylor dishonestly submitted claims for overnight subsistence and car mileage stating that his main place of residence was outside London when he did not reside at the address he had given but actually resided in London.
“The subsequent charges allege that similar claims were made on 3 July 2006, 31 October 2006, 5 April 2007, 2 July 2007 and 31 October 2007. In total the charges allege a sum in excess of £11,000 was dishonestly claimed over this period.”
Innocent until proven otherwise, m’lud. And it stands the hereunder remains Lord Taylor’s worst personal experience, as his website says:
“My worst experience was going ocean fishing in the Atlantic after a full breakfast”.
Look out for updates…
