Lord Hanningfield Collared Again.

Celebrating only his second day of freedom Lord Hanningfield has been re-arrested for fraud during the time he headed Essex County Council. "I just don't believe it," the disgraced peer told our reporter. "I thought I'd gotten away with it. It's just not fair." We consulted a psychologist for his views; "Well it obvious he suffers from a psychological malaise that is becoming increasingly common amongst politicians of late - he can't tell the difference between his own money and everyone else's. Although not restricted to them by any means, it does seem to be a  particular problem for Tories who appear to regard stealing from poor people as some sort of right. Pension funds are a particular favourite at the moment though politicians don't seem adverse to picking people's pockets if the opportunity presents itself."
