NickP Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It's a pity that they left some out: Best expenses manipulator of the year. Best landlord of the year for most money received for renting rooms to colleagues. Best at being available to go on overseas junkets.Biggest liar of the year.Best excuse of the year for not doing what they said in the manifesto.

Renaud Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Given that M Hodge has a large shareholding in her family controlled business which avoids paying £ millions in tax by using exactly the methods that she denounces immoral - kettle calling pot black!

Kitty Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks, JJ, for the link to the awards. I enjoyed reading the article. I wonder if winning any of the awards is a bit of a double edged sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
