Conway says he's no crook

Well I suppose in the strict sense you aren't because you haven't been found gilty in a court of law. But you aren't going to face a court because MP's are protected from feeling PC Plod's hand on their collars through some archaic rules.

How about this then Derek, you subject yourself to the normal legal process that most of us would face and let a court decide. And if you don't I and, I suspect, many others will consider you to be a crook.

And BTW I don't object to you or any other MP's employing your family as long as they are doing an honest days work, which they obviously weren't in your case because Parliament has censured you and asked you to pay the money back.
