From this story -
Quote:
Mr West, who made his fortune from a discount alcohol and tobacco business in Calais, told BBC Radio Five Live: "Her husband is one thing. She has a right to her own opinion to pursue her own job and that is to defend the working man."
He's got a nice turn of phrase! Yes, her husband is one thing, TROUBLE! And he's done precious little to defend the working man!

Tony Blair could make this lapsed Tory into something of a maverick socialist! Oh................... :roll:

Don't the words "conflict of interest" mean anything in the courts any more?
