BREAKING NEWS
A
Labour MP was seen by several witnesses today at about lunchtime,
stealing money from a blind beggar's collection tin inside the Euston
station terminal.
Witnesses who saw the blatant daylight robbery
alerted security officers in the station and the Labour MP was promptly
body searched then arrested.
This latest revelation does not surprise many who already view members of parliament with utter disdain and mistrust.
"After
viewing the CCTV footage, we saw the thief come off a train. He then
walked up to the blind gentleman who was sitting on the floor with a
sign in front of him asking for money so he could eat some food. The MP
looked around for a second then swooped down on the blind beggars
collection tin and took out some of the money," Special Constable Chris. P.
Bacun, told the Evening Standard newspaper.
According to Euston's security team, the MP stole approximately 67p and
a 10 cent euro coin from the blind man, who was later compensated in
full. The MP was remanded in custody at Holloway Prison and denied bail
until a hearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court on June 12th. |
