Conservatives hold party for peer prosecuted over his expenses claims - Telegraph: "The only Conservative politician being prosecuted over his expenses claims, Lord Hanningfield, has brought great shame on his party.

Unbelievably, however, Tory officials on Essex County Council are holding a lavish party in his honour on Sunday afternoon."

Bad idea. A party for those that are stupid enough to be caught. Not a good thing. They should have kept it quite because it makes it difficult for the rest of us to carry on as normal.

However, they can always try the defense, you can't find a jury that isn't made up of my victims.

Alternatively in his case, a jury of his peers. They are on the take or have looked the other way, take your pick. An acquital is more likely
