London Evening Standard 9th October 2013 - The Liars Edition

Why have I called it that?

From the front page onwards its full of news of "liars".

Lying Barrister Forced to Quit

Exposed: Top City Lawyer with Bogus CV

Well I never!
However, read on and you soon see that he lied about some not all. Its just that when he lied he lied BIG time and many around him suspected as such (but then don't your so called colleagues usually say that about you when your gone??) And now the man is in hiding. But astonishing is the fact he worked in some great law firms.

Skip further along the Evening Standard and you come across yet more gems.

 

Kardashian Parents stop keeping up appearances

I suppose I must have thought the Kardashians HAD parents but never entertained the thought beyond that.. why would I (or anyone else really?)

27 Arrests in Raids of Fake Car Insurance

This kind of lying hurt people like you and me. Conmen were selling fake insurance mostly to young motorists. As many as 20, 000 people could have bought these fake policies. Its is reported that people faced having cars seized if they are found driving under a fake insurance policy.

Ex-ministers in fight for Labour target seat

It would appear that 2 Labour ministers who lost their place in Parliament after the expenses scandal are back on the scene - both with eyes fixed on the Brent south seat. Ignoring the Brent South seat I focused on the expenses scandal.

The candidates are:

Dawn Butler was brought down by claims for a whirlpool and for a second home when she had a home close to Westminster. She was exonerated. OK, so far, so good. And no lie found here. I wish her well in 2015 general election.

Tony McNulty was brought down by claiming for a home his parents lived. He claimed innocent. He paid £13,837. No word of being exonerated. Hmmmmmm......


 I guess if I had dug a little deeper I would find more but its late and I'm tired. I wonder what tomorrow will bring??
