Four Liberal Democrat MPs - John Barrett, Sandra Gidley, Paul Holmes and Richard Younger-Ross - have been ordered to apologise to the House of Commons after being found to have been guilty of "serious misjudgment" over decisions relating to their taxpayer funded second homes in Westminster.
For some reason, Nick Clegg is being quoted in many newspaper reports we've just looked at as PRAISING the MPs for their conduct. His reason for doing so is that the MPs concerned referred themselves to the Commissioner.
Nick Clegg must live on Cloud Cuckooland if he thinks that any of this of worthy of praise.
The best write-up on this latest affair is probably that in The Guardian.
The findings of the Standards and Privileges Committee can be read HERE.
What's also interesting is that - just as with Jacqui Smith - all four have been told to apologise to the House of Commons.
That's funny. One would have thought the British public were the people who were owed apologies in these circumstances.
Will the scandals involving those in positions of power and authority ever cease, one asks oneself.
No wonder they've made Britain into a police state. Just in case we, the people finally do decide to chuck the lot of them out...
