Michael Martin - He wants the police involved, but not to investigate the real criminals

Michael Martin, the man who is so proud of his 'working class background', is already on record in February 2008 for having spent his Air Miles accrued on government business in flying his children and family in business class to London. Guidelines issued by the Members Estimate Committee, which Martin chairs, states that "such air miles should be used by him to offset his own official travel costs."

£4000 was also spent in 2008 by his wife Mary Martin on taxis to 'buy food for receptions'.

Also in March 2008 it was reported by the Daily Telegraph that Martin spent £1.7 million of taxpayers money on refurbishing his house.

The same man allowed the parliamentary office of Damian Green to be raided by the police in November 2008. He was arrested and later freed and no charges were pressed. Martin was angry because it was believed information that was in the public interest had been leaked by the Tory. Damian Green claimed that arresting officers had searched his computer documents and emails for the key words "Shami Chakrabarti", indicating that his arrest was no doubt politically motivated. This is a tactic reminiscent of the East German Stasi, and Martin gave permission.

This man clearly has no morals, he is the epitome of a 'champagne socialist', and then he has the guile to say, "I have been a trade unionist all my life. I did not come into politics not to take what is owed to me." He is completely out of touch with reality and the public, and I for one believe that he himself believes that he is doing right. This video of his performance today is proof, look at the way he belittles Kate Hoey....The police should be invited to investigate, but not on the source of the leak to the Daily Telegraph, but to investigate this carpet bagging crook.
