Courtesy: Department of International Development (the irony) I can’t say much about this hideous thing because I’m sort of still trying to process what I’ve just seen. But I will say this. I find it utterly soul-destroying that these people, all of them Labour ministers either interviewed in the sting or fingering ministers still in [...]

Byers’ Song
Posted in corruption, criminals, fraud, Labour, sleaze on 21/03/2010 | 3 Comments »
Loving the National Express as Stephen Byers clearly does – after all, he saved that company £300million by putting the fix in with “Lord” Andreas Adonis, who obligingly let it off the hook precisely in the way Byers describes he’d arranged with him in the undercover Channel 4 tapes, by nationalising the rail franchise they [...]
Troughers To The Bitter End
Posted in corruption, expenses, Labour, parliament, scandal, sleaze on 20/03/2010 | 2 Comments »
In tomorrow’s Mail on Sunday and Sunday Times, two stories reveal just how venal former Labour ministers are. It simply beggars belief that these four, Geoff Hoon, Patricia Hewitt, Margaret Moron (sic) and Stephen Byers will almost certainly escape at the very least some form of criminal investigation for corruption. One other thing is certain, [...]
Blair’s Millions
Posted in Blair, Brown, business, corruption, Labour, renegade economist, sleaze, tax on 03/12/2009 | 2 Comments »
Excellent piece from the Renegade Economist today which traces some of Tony Blair’s labyrinthine collection of funds, holding companies and legal entities that he’s started since handing over his mandate to Gordon Brown. According to the Renegade, he’s created a “complex web of structures involving 12 different legal entities handling the unprecedented millions he is [...]

SO the Labourists have decided to go after George “Ozzy” Osborne over his expenses claims. They’ve started by getting unknown constituency loyalist , Laurie Burton, to make a complaint to the standards authority, according to Sky. The complaint to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner came from the chairman of the Labour Party in Mr Osborne’s Tatton [...]

Crooked Beard, Dodgy Bloke

Jim Knight is on Question Time tonight. Here’s his BBC publicity shot. Beard looks a bit weird, doesn’t it? This clown is the Labour MP for Dorset South and minister for something-or-other (employment) who’s a serial trougher who said his exorbitant second home and expenses claims were ‘reasonable’. This is how his own local rag, [...]

Bercow Can’t Add Up
Posted in Brown, cirsis, lies, parliament, reform, scandal, sleaze, speaker on 24/06/2009 | 3 Comments »
Bercow seems to think that he is going to be the star of the All-New Reformed-Parliament Show. So far, though, he has not struck me as the sort of person who will do anything other than an absolutely terrible job. He’s full of what is clearly Labour reform spin and he sounds, frankly, dishonest. Why? [...]
