  We each have our own opinions and for what it is worth I think he should have pleaded guity and took his punishment like a man rather than try and justify his unacceptable and lapse expense accounting because of his positions as Leader of Essex County Council and his Peerage.
  
  Having said that, 40 years of hard local government work and dedication should have been recognised and be taken into consideration.
  
  Judge this man on both the good and bad things he has done. This is only fair and reasonable. In my opinion!

  Thieving scumbag would have been more appropriate. He is still, trying to defend the indefensible.

  How can you defend the indefensible when they have been tried, convicted and sentenced in a court of law?
  
  This is exactly my point, tried, convicted, sentenced and released by the British Judicial System. Our law and courts!"
