Anti-sleaze candidate bids to romp home against Griffiths
A FORMER soldier from the Capital is to stand against MP Nigel Griffiths in the general election on an anti-sleaze platform.
The Edinburgh South MP was alleged to have had a sex romp in his House of Commons study.
Ex-Royal Corps of Signals soldier John Wallace had asked the commissioner to investigate security rules and the possible use of a public funds to pay for a computer reportedly used to download pictures from the evening.
His complaints were rejected by Parliamentary Standards Commissioner John Lyon, who said they would not have breached the code of conduct as such behaviour was a personal matter. Mr Wallace will stand against Mr Griffiths as Jury Team candidate in a bid to make politicians accountable.
