Liam Fox, lets the taxpayer fund him to get a medical qualification, practices as a GP for less than 10 years (for which the taxpayer also shells out and would have been less if he had been successful in his first bid to become an MP) and lets the public pay him for being a politician for the next 24 years and counting. A shining example of the enterprise culture. Which he demonstrated by having to repay £22k worth of expenses claimed to fund his mortgage. But he still claims for car journeys of less than 100 metres. And was renting out his London home while the taxpayer coughed up for him to rent another one. Resigned as Defence Secretary for blagging one of his mates (who he had also paid out of his expenses) onto official trips (actually it's much dodgier than that, a long and dirty story). Somehow during this career of public (or at least publically paid) service he has managed to become a millionaire. A leech, a parasite, a sponger, zero credibility.
Sorry, he's another one who makes my blood boil. I don't expect all politicians to be permanently cleaner than clean or never make mistakes, or sacrifice their ability to enrich themselves by having other (declared) jobs, but there are limits.
