Where's the story
His accountants fcuked up, he owned up, and he paid up. Not exactly what I'd call dishonest behaviour

It says the mistake was spotted by his accountants so not made by them. it is easy to see how another 150k of earning could be missed as after all it is just pocket change

Seems our Vince really does need some accounting help though. Guido says ... http://order-order.com/2011/10/26/fo...bles-expenses/ ...
And he's business secretary ....

A look at Vince’s parliamentary expenses claims from the last few years show a trail of financial mismanagement. His claims are littered with with late fees, reminder letters and overdue notices. His electricity supplier, British Gas and BT have all sent letters stating their intention to disconnect him for non-payment. It appears he also thought it appropriate to charge the taxpayer for £240 of fines for not paying his fees on time. By Guido’s count there were nineteen late notices or threats in 05-06, thirteen in 06-07, and eight in 07-08. Were these honest mistakes too, or complete incompetence?

Just seen comment #78 (near the top) after Guido's piece ...
Seems about right.

John Vincent Cable, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences – you will go to prison for five years!
