Today's Private Eye has revelations about the expenses claimed by Tory Leader of Lincolnshire County Council who apparently booked into the Intercontinental Hotel on London's Park Lane and expected us us council taxpayers to pick up the tab.
Looking forward to Councillor Martin Hill's explanation, as he made his name when in Opposition as a rottweiller who went through the Council's accounts with a fine toothcomb looking for half a chance to attack any spending by the then Labour-LibDem administration as 'extravagant'.
Wonder what the Taxpayers Alliance would say about his stay at the Intercontinental?
No doubt the Private Eye story is embarrassing for Cllr Hill, particuylarly if the local media actually follow it up.
Of course, it's not exactly in the same league as Martin's Conservative predessessor 'Honest' Jim Speechley, who you may recall, went to prison convicted of abuse of public office...
PS - sorry, no link to the Private Eye story as don't put their articles online...
You'll have to buy one!
