"LET THEM TAKE TAXIS"

Shamed Tory David Mcletchie is back on the road. Panic-stricken Tory bosses in Scotland have recalled the former Tory top cat to the frontbench.

Mcletchie was forced to stand down as leader last audtumn after
* claiming 11,565 for transport
* charging taxpayers for journeys between Holyrood and his office
* pocketing 5000 for unspecified journeys.

The high-flying lawyer later paid back 550.

The Tory traveller is poised to make his return to frontline politics as TRANSPORT spokesman. Political rivals claim that his answer to Scottish transport foul ups will be "let them take taxis!"
