Looks like someone's been following Nick Clegg's example.
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Article/201009115890360A Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate and university lecturer has been implicated in defrauding students out of thousands of pounds in tuition fees, a Sky News investigation can reveal.
Dr Vincent McKee, 52, offers private tuition through the Institute of Colleges and University Teachers (Icut), in Coventry. But students and parents who hand over bank details to the company have discovered large sums missing from their accounts.
Student Ivie Ogodan claims she booked just £90 of tutorials through Icut, but after giving McKee her credit card, £685 was removed from her account. She said: "That money was for Christmas presents for my family. I called him several times to ask for my money back but he kept making excuses. My sister and I went to Coventry and turned up on his doorstep and refused to leave. But he yelled at my sister and was rude and intimidating. Eventually he wrote me a cheque for £250. But then he ripped it up again. I felt very scared and began crying."
McKee has stood as a Liberal Democrat candidate for parliament in four general elections and is currently head of policy for the party in Coventry. He is also a director of the Electoral Reform Society and a member of Solihull Chamber of Commerce.
