Paul Flynn MP casts stones...

When you publish an analysis on election funding, give the job to a reporter who can count.

Today's hilarious junk maths Argus findings are that Labour spent an average of £7,216 in the Assembly elections in the seven Gwent constituencies. As the party spent over £7,000 in only one of the seats, there's something amiss here.

So says Newport MP Paul Flynn, he accuses the South Wales Argus over its accuracy in reporting a story on expenses and claims what they reported is inaccurate.

Would that be inaccurate in the same way Mr Flynn reported on a certain company and had his ass hauled through the legal system and was found guilty of libel?

The apology he posted on his site - since removed.
On this website in February this year, I made certain statements referring to Endowment Justice Limited, one of the companies which offers assistance in obtaining compensation for those people who were mis-sold endowment policies. I have been campaigning against companies providing professional services in relation to endowment policy compensation claims, but my facts about Endowment Justice were incorrect. As a result, I wrongly accused the company and its directors Nick Keca, Marianne Fitzjohn and Graeme Webber of having previously mis-sold endowment policies and now dishonestly overcharging those self-same victims to help them obtain compensation. I am happy to clarify that neither Endowment Justice Ltd or any of its directors were ever involved in any aspect of endowment policy selling. It was therefore false and unfair to suggest that they had profited from the historic mis-selling of endowment policies. I was also incorrect in stating that Endowment Justice, which offers its services in recovering compensation on a “no-win, no-fee” basis, could charge its customers up to 40% of any compensation gained. Endowment Justice in fact charge customers 17.5% plus VAT or 22.5% plus VAT of any compensation gained. I was wrong to give the unintended impression that the company or its directors acts in any way improperly or unlawfully in providing services to those seeking compensation for endowment policy mis-selling. I would like to apologise to Endowment Justice for my allegations, and to Mr. Keca, Ms. Fitzjohn and Mr. Webber for any embarrassment or distress caused by my false remarks.
