Pinhead of the Year 2012

[ShiftZZ]

OUSTED former Leicestershire County Council leader David Parsons is in the running for a national gong which is awarded to the politician who shows the most disregard for tax payers’ cash.

Councillor Parsons, now Independent councillor for the Kirby Muxloe and Leicester Forest East division, has been nominated for the TaxPayers’ Alliance Pinhead of the Year 2012 title.

The pressure group is running a public vote to find the politician who they say has been found to show a disregard for taxpayers’ cash.

Councillor Parsons has been nominated because it emerged earlier this year that he could have saved more than £24,000 of public money had he taken the train for more than 200 trips to London rather than County Hall’s chauffeur-driven car.

You see, yet another one of the 'do as I say, not what I do' brigade.
How on earth is he still there?
It's crap like this and Ferryman/Fellows/(insert last known alias) and Mitchell that turn people off in droves from politics and voting.

I see Drew boy got 4 months suspended for driving without a license or insurance for 25 YEARS plus perverting the course of justice.

I had a real good laugh at the excuse that he couldn't bring himself to tell his dad that he had failed his test and it was down to the arrogance of youth! (he's 44 years old!)

I'm off now to cancel my insurance, pose nude on line and join the Tory party, is that enough arrogance? ;D ;D ;D ;D

Blimey- Good find Dan. I remember Shiftzz and i trying to get the local Tory Party to act with some kind of force when this guy was exposed(!) locally. They acted with a whimper at the time.
