Letter: MP should lead by good example - 26/06/09
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the hastily arranged meeting for Mr Duncan to explain his part in the "honourable members" expenses scandal. However, why am I not surprised by his lack of apology and contrition?
It is absolutely staggering for him to suggest that he is a "victim of his own openness", as without the Freedom of Information Act, he would never have been found out and never have volunteered to have repaid a single penny of our money.
His actions have the hallmark of a very arrogant man, and I call upon the local Conservative Party Association to examine closely if he is the man we wish to have to continue to represent our constituency.
I, and thousands like me, cannot understand why he thinks it is quite acceptable to squander public money on such trivial items. Being an MP, a public servant, he has a duty to behave with decorum and lead by example, and it is that which has been brought into question.
