Alan Duncan – That’s rich!

Remember this twat?

The Rt Hon Alan Duncan MP, Minister of State for the Department for International Development, will be addressing issues surrounding public financial management, transparency, accountability and value for money at an international conference organised by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy in London on 15th March.

Hang on, though! Isn’t this the same Alan Duncan who was forced to repay £4,000 in expenses he shouldn’t have claimed in the first place? Isn’t this the same Alan Duncan who famously proclaimed that MPs were “treated like shit” and had to “live on rations”?

Isn’t it a bit rich to ask this man to talk at a conference about “Trust and Accountability in Public Financial Management”?

And even more amazingly, what the fuck is he doing in the government handling International Development, possibly the most unaccountable department of all?

"I blog, therefore I am..."

The musings of a 5th centuryphiliosopher called Dioclese, still trying to figure it out after 1600 years... Frankly the things that go on in this world sometimes amaze me, horrify me or simply baffle me. This blog tells things the way I see them and attempts to make some sense of it all - if there is any to be found. Comments are not moderated, so feel free to speak your mind. I do!
