Joe Lee, you're a hero

There's a good letter in today's City AM:
Held accountable
I watched Nick Clegg’s interview on BBC Breakfast TV yesterday morning and was furious to hear him say “for those who can't afford an accountant to fiddle their taxes”. How dare he. I assume therefore that he does his own return?
I’m fed up of politicians referring to accountants as one degree away from criminals. Professional, qualified accountants like myself have a high degree of integrity and abide by the UK tax laws, we do not “fiddle” taxes.

I totally agree. Clegg's assault on our profession demonstrates a total lack of understanding of what tax accountants actually do. He should be ashamed of himself.
