David Laws and what it tells us of a out of touch political class.

 The Lib-Dem MP, David Laws is being positioned for a comeback into government. Spin and kind words abound about how he will/should return to his rightful position in government to rule over us minions. 

It must be nicety have such friends. 

But it's wrong. 

You see Laws is a man well liked in parliament and the press. I have no doubt he is a talented man and a beacon of sanity in a out there party. However the fact remains that Laws had the shortest ministerial career because he had to resign when he was caught fiddling his expenses big time. 

It doesn't matter if he is a nice man, apart from stealing from the taxpayer, which for too many in parliament isn't a bad thing. It doesn't matter if he's witty and wise. It doesn't even matter if if he has the very ideas and skills we need in our time of need. 

A expense fiddler should have no place in government. If there was any justice Laws would have been prosecuted for his action, just like anyone else. Prison should have been his punishment. Laws should think himself lucky to escape justice and retired to anonymity wracked by guilt. 

He shouldn't be about to embark on a career in government bossing the law-abiding around. 

The fact that the poltical elite cannot see how their stealing from us is such a bad thing shows how for all the fine words they are still as out of touch with our anger as ever. 

That's very sad.
