Following on from my post about Conservative London Fire authority chair Brian Coleman yesterday (more here, here, here and here) Mark Pack draws attention to the man's apparent double standards with respect to public expenditure.
Mr Coleman attacked Lynne Featherstone with all sorts of sexist language because she rang up the fire brigade, explained her problem and they decided to send a crew costing £250. Coleman says this is a misuse of public money and should be paid back.
Perhaps Coleman should himself pay back some of his taxi fares which he has enjoyed at the public's expense. The average London Assembly member claims £685 for taxi fares in the period that Coleman claimed £8,000 taxi fares. Indeed, in one eight month period, his taxi bill was greater than all the other LA members' bills, and the Mayor's bills, put together! And he's got a free travelcard so he could go by bus or tube anyway!
What on earth is Mr Coleman doing with all these taxi journies? Following every passing fire engine to check it's call is valid?!
