UK Minister's Husband Apologizes for the Porno expenses

submitted by Krupo

1 decade 5 years 1 month ago

"Jacqui Smith, the British home secretary, was forced to issue a statement on Sunday saying that she would repay British taxpayers £21 ($30) after a newspaper revealed that expenses she claimed last year for home internet service also included four pay-per-view movies, two of which were adult films."
Both quotes from the NY Times.
"Mr. Timney, who is himself paid £40,000 ($57,000) a year by the British government to advise his wife, spent what might well have been the least comfortable 26 seconds of his life outside the family home on Sunday reading this statement of apology to the assembled press (published on the Web site of Channel 4 News)"

Oh man, that is also the worst non-apology ever too.

This guys' such a goofball - from the same Times article:
"In December, Mr. Timney was caught writing a letter in support of his wife’s policies, under his own name but without disclosing their relationship, to their local newspaper. "

fucking hell. such a shame that shitty 'scandals' like this consume the media when there's so much else to be up in arms about. the guy's a bit of a wally but come on.. £21 and everyone starts frothing at the mouth? let's use that energy trying to fry the bigger fish.
