The next head on the guillotine is Bob Ainsworth's. More TVs, a sofa, the usual...bung it all on, no-one will know. Blah, blah, blah.
The picture shows him standing beside a fighter jet - he is (currently) minister for the Armed Forces - which would have been funny if it had been claimed on expenses.
Clarence is going to do the honours for his card.
Strength, reversed
Clarence: A loss of control, pure and simple. Ainsworth had the means to pay for these items himself (though it would indeed have been comical to have the jet claimed on expenses, I doubt it would have got passed the Fees Office, who reduced his claims for the TV and sofa to the maximum possible), but chose not to listen to his own conscience and thus must confront and be confronted over his own excessive troughminstering. It must be noted that the card also refers to the ease to which he is jettisoned, though this will have to wait for the moment as it is not as tortuous or outrageous as the dry rot or the Kirkbride files, which could themselves be a novel worthy of Jane Austen.
