Geoff Hoon made a million whilst soldiers died!

The most distasteful self-enrichment is that of Geoffrey (Geoff) Hoon. This cabinet minister has been using the parliamentary allowance system to build himself a property empire. All "within the rules" no doubt. As soldiers died over the years in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hoon was not only going around defending his dodgy dealings in the run-up to the War, but he was getting rich on manipulating the system. As Defence Secretary he lived in a grace-and-favour apartment in Whitehall, yet he claimed costs for his home in Derbyshire. Those soldiers lucky enough to survive without wounds were, on their return, given the most appalling housing in some circumstances. This hypocrite always got the MoD to rabbit on about how well the refurbishment programme was coming along. But the soldiers didn't get the same allowances!

There's more about Hoon's taxpayer-funded property development business from the Daily Telegraph. All stuff he wanted us not to know. It is little wonder creeps like him tried to get rid of Elizabeth Filkin. She'd spotted their corruption but they had the brass neck to rubbish her, so she went!

Why would anyone want to vote Labour?
