Lets see if dodgy expenses stick to Teflon Tony: I shouldn't think so!!!

It is the cause of unbridled rage and anger but can be of no great surprise that the architect of the current government has now also come under scrutiny for "playing" the MPs expenses system like a game of Monopoly. Tony Blair is under fire for loans and expenses claimed in relation to the property portfolio he amassed whilst PM. The full article can be found at The Telegraph website.

The other legacy Blair left us other than a bunch of sticky fingered crooks in power was the principal that if you deny something for long enough people will believe you. He did it with Iraq and WMD, Brown has applied it over the ecomomy and Gurkhas, Milliband has applied it to the Binyam Mohammed scandal and Jacqui Smith, almost every other day to every other thing she does.

This principal doesn't seem to work as well for the others as it does for their old master. Tony will however apply it to this latest episode and with others in the immediate firing line his trademark abilityto lie himself out of trouble will save his bacon again (and not for the last time I guarantee). Surely this man is truley made of Teflon.
