And of course there was another Labour stalwart John Stonehouse a former Government minister who in 1976, was given seven years for theft, fraud and deception.

The charges related to a string of failed fradulent businesses, Stonehouse when the going got hot faked his own death, he afterwards made his way to Australia, were he was arrested.

And there is more, T. Dan Smith the Labour leader of the Newcastle-on -Tyne who was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Smith was public relations man for crooked architect John Poulson, Poulson won building design contracts by bribing City Councillors.

Smith was trapped within a web of corruption that proved his undoing.

As Giok says, it goes on everywhere, I wont bore you with an endless list of others.

Just a word of warning, beware of those who meddle in politics, they are quite corruptible. Ard Mhacha.
