We have to take instruction on how we should raise our children from this man?

My OH also did a quick analysis of his expenses published yesterday:
Nothing too major, except that he has blanked out many of his receipts. What is he trying to hide??? Speaks volumes!
Poppy Wreath - £18.00 Poppy Wreath x 2 £33.00 Docklands Trading Post – everything blanked out. Why? £89.10 Buildings Insurance on a rented property. Usually it's the landlord who has to pay buildings insurance on a property isn't it? £321.90 Sponsor a football club – then claim it back off the taxpayer! Sponsor of Ossett Town Football club - £50 Sponsor of Ossett Town Football club - £120 He went on various IT training courses with "Computing for Labour" a branch of the Labour Party yet still had thousands of pounds of claims for IT consultancy. Office Products receipt where all the items are blanked out – why? If they are office products, what is he trying to hide - £175.77 One receipt from Vodafone shows he is claiming for 2 mobile phones. Why 2? Glitter (yes glitter!!) - £1.30 Gift Tags - £1 Reasons to be Cheerful - £7.99 Brass Plaque and Plinth - £105 (what for?) Nearly £2000 on 3 office desks. Of course, all of top grade quality.
Yes, it's ironic, isn't it? Our standards have to be sky-high: we have to be perfect, yet this lot can do what they like and show a distinct lack of moral fibre.
LOL - thanks. He did also seem to spend a lot of money at Asda getting photo's developed.
He also spent a lot of money advertising in newspapers in his constituency. Pages and pages almost every week. Fine if you are advertising things like surgery times etc, but there was a lot and and one wonders if he wasn't just blowing his own trumpet: "look at me, aren't I great" type of thing.
The problem is that they were blanked out why - so once again, you wonder what is he trying to hide!

Thanks Anon. It appears to go right through the whole gamut, from home flipping to phone flipping!

A case of Do as I say not as I do.
