Baroness Scotland Has No Defence
Unless She “Checked and Copied”
Baroness Scotland was appointed by Gordon Brown to be the government’s chief legal adviser. Prior to becoming Attorney General she worked as a minister in the Home Office, cracking down on illegal migrants and imposing tougher penalties on business and individuals who employ them was passed.
The Daily Mail has Baroness Scotland bang-to-rights, yet she says she did not knowingly employ the Tongan illegal immigrant, Loloahi Tapui, and her spokesman says the Attorney General “saw documents which led her to believe that Ms Tapui was entitled to work in this country” when she hired her. There is only one statutory defence against conviction for employing an illegal worker under section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 – the act specifies that you get this defence only by checking and copying certain original documents belonging to your employee.
The Home Office guidance on this is clear – you will only be able to establish the defence by checking and copying specified documents, including the passport and “any page containing UK Government endorsements indicating that the holder has an entitlement to be in the UK and is entitled to undertake the work in question.”
So all the Attorney General has to do to clear her name is show us the copy of the page and she is in the clear. If she has not got that copy, she has broken the law she is supposed to uphold. Clear and simple.
She won’t be resigning that’s for sure, she said so this morning.
Another case for Inspector Knacker, or is it one rule for them…..
If the CPS doesn’t prosecute, would it be possible for the Sunlight Centre to have a go?
bang her up and bang up all the piggies
simples
GUILTY AS CHARGED!
TAKE HER DOWN.

Need I go on? I can, ad nauseum. The point is that these people are directly responsible for the making, maintaining and enforcing of the law and the rule of law, yet they are not subject to it themselves. The prospect of an equally corrupt Tory Gov is going to be not one little bit better. At least Aitken and Archer went to prison for being liars. Nowadays, you get promoted.
All men are created equal, it’s what happens after that that makes it such fun!
Iwe have receivedacomplaint,and we are investigating
Well thank you ma’am, that seems like a fair explanation that i can put into my report. i’ll be going now………………………………
………..
………
Oh, Ma’am. just one more question…
Book her, Danno
In breaking News Mr Harry Callaghan is to be assigned to investigate Baroness Jockland.
HARRY: “Do you feel lucky, punk?”
SCOTLAND: “Yes, extremely”
‘Baroness’ Scotland needs to be escorted to Scotland Yard.
Absolutely. I am sick and tired of these “holier than thou” morons getting off scot free when you and I would be banged to rights.
We are looking more and more like a banana republic everyday. One rule for all fairly applied NOW
Agreed Older not Wiser #55 – however, it’s not just the UK. The entire world is being run as a banana republic…by a global mafia.
There has to be a way to stop it all……..my search for the solution continues 24/7.
How fucked up is this country when the first thing a Minister says is that she is not resigning – any other PM would have sacked her but Broon is so weak he doesn’t dare.
Election now please so we can get rid of the whole fucking lot
my Courage resides in my book – just thirty of your English pounds.
VC – Virulent Cnut?
Grinding Bruin VD and Bar
What the hell difference is an election gonna make? These hoons exist in all parties. It’s a corrupt self-serving system and no cosmetic changes resulting in an ‘election’ is going to change that. There is a way, though most people are incapable of thinking beyond the party shite that passes for politics in Britain.
Now come on no. 79. you know that everyone in this Labour Government NEVER does anything wrong, and therefore never has anything to apologise for! The very idea that the lot of them are lying cheating scheming bastards is appalling!
She doesn’t have to resign. She simply needs to be prosecuted in exactly the same way as you or I would be.
Some hopes. As Mike Gatting said – ‘One law for us, another for them’.
The laws are made for you to comply with, they don’t apply to us.
Nu Labour – the gift that keeps on giving!
Did you mean The Git that keeps on giving?
The Gits that keep on taking
Perhaps the Screws could set up an elaborate sting and find that the man in charge of the serfs working on that sweet hilary benns’ country estate , doesn’t comply with the Gangmasters Regulations.
When one is a very important nulab person, one finds dealing with the little people, is very trying for one.
Do we know Baroness Scotlands immigration status, maybe the loophole is an illegal can employ a fellow illegal.
I’ll check Howard – you ARE Howard from Hill Street Blues aint ya?
I bet she gets away with this SCOT free!
Bu bum tish! lol
She will not be held to prosecution. to many things going for her. Her Title, her sex, her ethnic origin and her political leaning,
Spot on. She is untouchable.
Talking of another Baroness having the same many things going for her. I don’t believe Baroness Uddin was ever charged of prosecuted?
Next time a firm is being prosecuted for hiring illegal immigrants, all they will need to do is offer the Baroness Scotland defence of I thought I’d seen their documents, I was confused,. Oh that’s alright then, case dismissed.
I wouldn’t touch her with yours!
But presumably Hattie and Polly and Tessa and all the other champions of equality will DEMAND that she is treated the same as everyone else?
No only white working or middle class, preferably Christian males may be treated ‘equally’ by the law. Everyone else is exempt in Nu Labor’s socialist paradise.
sorry Clapham Omnibus but it dont work like that…
Has ‘Barearse from scotland’ been checked?
Cheque and many copies please………
Only needs to be a lesbian to have the full house of cards. She will just laugh at us all like the rest of the Nu Labor scum have been dong for years. What fucking business do we mere proles have in daring to question the ruling ‘elites’ business.
Apart from the fact that she’s a woman, this is exactly the strategy of Osa sorry, Obama and his handlers. It’s a grand strategy. Install someone of ethnic or sensitive political/religious origin then anyone who critices is regarded as racist/
anti-semitic or just plain un-PC. Evil but genius eh!
Some mistake surely “antisemitism” so long as is disguised as anti-Zionism is to be encouraged and all Jews may be considered suspect unless they state their opposition to “illegal settlements”.
No. 184 – er?
Just like Baroness Uddin and her fraudulent expenses claims.
I see Uddin is on Harperson’s list of women achievers. Astounding
If you had my kind of cash you’d have more than one place to go.
She is an achiever though.
She won the most unbelievable expenses claim award at the end of term bash.
Does anyone know when I have to go back to work? This holiday is beginning to drag and even the elder child has gone back to university.
Not that there’s anything to do there, but one does like to claim the travel.
Somebody ought to update her wiki with a handy pile of links to the story.
Is Baroness Thatcher on the list?
But they leave St Margaret off.
It’ll be “do as I say……”
That is ZaNuLiebore through and through. ZaNu are so particular about how the rest of us should behave and yet so lax about their own lying, troughing, illegal behaviour. Serfs up: now we know how Lenin’s apparatchiks’ attitudes developed. No wonder ZaNu supports the EUSSR.
They are our betters, they make the laws over us, they rule us after all. They are so superior to the rest of us the laws simply do not apply to them.
Why won’t we, the great unwashed, see what is so self evident.
Hoist by her own petard. Splendid!
The same old ‘one rule for the politicians and one rule for the rest of us’ is happening again.
I do believe that passed into legislation under new labour’s usual proceedure ie by the back door. The opposition parties don’t seem to be aware that it doesn’t include them though!!
A private prosecution perhaps
No. 7 – A PRIVATE HANGING WOULD BE BETTER!!
Let’s all sue her then!! An absolute disgrace…. Justice for Jacqui now Cell for Scotland – has a nice ring to it!
But the law only applies to people who aren’t Labour ministers !
In true new liebour fashion I’m sure the documentation can be FOUND.
Or convicted mass murders from countries new liebour wants to do business with….
I doubt they’ll be able to find a copy of a pasport that proves she has right of abode/right to remain though. It won’t be enough to just photocopy the passport. The passport has to show the woman has the right of abode.
The whole point is that you photocopy the document in case the document that you relied on has been forged or a bogus ‘right of abode’ stamp or somesuch put into it which you, in your ignorance, did not reconise as a forgery.
Then your defence is – I believed this to be a legitimate document. It looks real enough, it’s got the necessary stamp, I didn’t realise it was an elaborate forgery etc etc.
I think we can safely say..
PWNED.
The law is designed to avoid the ‘confused’ defence Scotland is currently attempting.
she made the fucking law how can she be confused about it. Or should I say she is confused about it because she made the law.
Sums up NuLavatory to a T
It is already with The Downing Street printers. Rumour has it they’ve held up the QE printing to give this job priority.
Take her down!
This woman looks utterly ridiculous in that get-up.
I thought it was Father Christmas.
What clan does she belong to?
She says she checked her employees NIC No. The law, which she herself introduced, says this is not sufficient.
The Daily Mail is running a poll today asking whether we think she should be prosecuted. Half an hour ago 100% said she should. Not much sympathy for her there then.
Another dilemma for gordon – should he sack her? – of course he should. But since he is a man genetically unable to take any decision, he won’t.
In a slightly more honourable age she would have accepted that she had made a mistake and offered her reignation, which would have been accepted ‘with regret’.
Those applying the full force of the law to others have to be seen to be of impeccable character. If they are shown to have broken the law, they must accept their mistake and resign.
‘Ignorance is no defence’ – it certainly isn’t in this case, is it?
For the last 12 years, resignations have had to be forced. Says all you need to know about the attitude of the current government to the people they claim to represent.
In a slightly more honourable age we’d all have shrugged our shoulders and said ‘Fair enough’ how was she to know if the woman was legal or not? But this fucking government went out of its way to make small employers the length and breadth of the country liable for immigration control thus putting another layer of administration onto them.
So I say. Prosecute the Nu-Labour fellow-travelling, freedom hating apologist.
Considering Baroness Scotland is a political appointment and Gordon made all that fuss about British Jobs for British Workers, how come she didn’t make sure she hired a housekeeper who was an EU national?
Hiring a Tongan is consistent with being a free marketeer, but her party are supposed to be Euro-supporters. Umpteen million of us an she can’t find a skivvy with an EU passport?
If you locked Gordon Brown in his study with a loaded pistol he’d probably check the magazine to ensure the bullets adhered to racial and gender quotas
… and then shoot himself in the foot.
He’d been a long time trying to shoot himself in the brain thats for sure
R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.now we all need to march on Parliament on the 5th November and sack these incompetents.
She won’t be prosecuted in a million years. Yet another fine example of the hypocrisy of the left.
Next time some spotty teenager bores you by saying they support Labour because they believe in ‘fairness’ and ‘equality’, you can cite this example of how the ruling clique are not treated equally under the law.
Bloody Jocks again !
Ah yes, Baroness Scotchland of Tonga, with such credentials the cards are stacked against justice ….
An incoming government must cleanse the statute book of all equality nonsense, now and for ever.
not quite – an incoming goverment must repeal ALL new labour legislation
Yes, and revoke all peerages created since 1997.
Twat.
Just like everything with the NuLab Hoons – “Do as I say and not as I do”
Or as Orwell put it – “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”
Footnote – Baroness Scotland!!!!! Up holding our laws – Free England – NOW!
Yes, when New Labour finally get booted into oblivion it will be a LIBERATION for ENGLAND.
We may not be totally FREE as we once were, but the greatest threats to our freedom from the thieving, lying, corrupt National Socialists will be weakened. The cabinet and the party of England’s oppression and destruction will no longer hold power over us, no longer have the capability to introduce draconian laws to persecute and gag us.
The lefto-fascist subversives elsewhere, in the quangos, the civil service and the BBC will still need to be tackled and disempowered. There is no doubt that even defeated the lefto-fascists will try to continue to “govern by other means”.
Anti-Nation Socialists more like.
The purges need to be carried out.
What a bunch of racists. You are only pointing out that she acted illegally because she is black.
Here we go!!!!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
yawn
some of you are actually taking this guy seriously ?
says it all
Stupid boy!!! So are you saying that she should be “let off” because she in “black”
People like you help those arseholes from the brit nat party….wanker!!
Hear Hear
(going back to sleep)
She’d be the first black person in history to be let off because of the colour of her skin.
Who gives a toss what colour she is. She is the Attorney General and a member of the cabinet. Question is , is she honest? No. Is she abiding by laws, she herself has introduced, No!
What should a respectable honorable person , regardless of their colour do, in the same position. Resign. Will she? Has any other member of this dishonourable lying government resigned when they’ve been found out. No and neither will she.
Nothing to do with colour I couldn’t give a toss whther she’s pink, blue or orange – it has to do with being a member of a corrupt, dishonest government that is rotten from the core.
Thought you were referring to East Herts District Council for a moment!
A pity some of the twats on this blog don’t seem to be paying attention to that crucial point nell
If they can’t concentrate on her criminal actions and the ramifications of them they should fuck off
Corruption seems endemic in this government.
I have been astonished at the lack of media investigation into what appears to be blatant lying by the Prime Minister. What put the top hat on it was Channel 4 news and John Snow discussing events last night with “Will Hutton” of the “Work Foundation”
I have been trying to find out if this organisation receives government support in any way which would account for the “embedded” journalist feel of the opinions voiced by Mr. Hutton.
Does anyone know about this organisation?
http://markwadsworth.blogspot.com/2009/09/missing-killer-blow-miles-templeman-vs.html
How cool would it have been if Miles had waved a set of The Work Foundation’s 2008 accounts at the camera and pointed out that out of total income of £4,808,000 (see P&L, page 19), ninety per cent of it comes from other government departments? And then asked Will who the highest paid employee was, the one falling into the salary band£170,000 – £180,000?
I hope that you meant that to be ironic?
Even if it was meant ironically, ‘Rebel Saint’ is clearly a cock of the highest order…
Evidently a closet racist, but not apparently a misogynist. Must be one of layburs’s wimmin. Confirming post follows below.
Yes … maybe I should have out “Not” and a 1000 exclamation marks at the end for all the dimwits..
Nothing to do with her race, and everything to do with ZaNuLieBore hypocrisy.
No, we are only saying she acted illegally, because she DID act illegally!
In fact she broke a law that she introduced.
Is that it, any time anyone of race is shown to be comitting a crime, they can’t be prosecuted as that would be racist??
Not sure what race you are, but you are clearly a fuckwitt.
Does that make me a fuckwittist?
W.W
What’s all this guff about racialist motives? Is Baroness Scotland scottish or something?
No. Her surname is Scotland.
She was born to Dominican and Antiguan parents and moved to England when she was three.
She’s the tenth of twelve children (sheesh!). Perhaps they should
have stopped at two.
Ahh, accusations of racism – the last bastion of those who can’t actually put up any proper argument. Have you read this blog regularly? Have you seen the number of non ethnic politicians that get outed for breaking the law?
Pathetic attempt to muddy the waters, but completely expected.
I pre-empted such a comment at #93.
…and when I said INSTALL, I MEANT I N S T A L L.
We’ve all been ‘had’ and only we, individually, can break our programming.
This has nothing to do with race, gender, religion etc. It’s all to do with the dumbing down and manipulation of humanity towards a certain goal, which, if we continue to play ‘their’ games on each other, isn’t so far off.
Sukyspook says:

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!
When are the “Honest hard working” people of this world going to do something about it?
Well Anyone #192 – I’ve already started and I guess the reason you’re here and in agreement is because you’ve begun the ‘turn-around’ too. Keep on going until enough of us tip the scales….it’ll happen, believe me, it’ll happen and it’s not far off… Yay!!
Have de-programmed wife. Whilst she found it traumatic she is now free-ish! Only down side of showing her to believe no-one is she now don’t bloody believe me. Shit!!
Who are you?
Fmr Pres.Carter?
What sort of a world are we living in when we cant even slate an individual for being corrupt.
Its people like you who are Racist.
Im getting sick to death of the race card being used everyday by idiots like you.
Get a life and get over it.
New Labour Scum bag.
the poter already said he was trying to be ironic
almost no chance of that being spotted here though
Very dangerous to do Irony around here!
One of my big principles in life is to give the shit back to the actual person who doled it out in the first place!
Not the wife, or the kids, or the friends or some innocent passer by, but to the turd who DID it to me.
I very stongly believe that everybody should get what they have earned!
It is this tendency to lash out in any direction except the right one that makes the manipulating bastards so invunerable!
NO, I do not expect justice upon planet earth!
If I want justice I impose it myself!
Example: Guido giving Damian his injunction!
I hope this helps you a little Suky.
The Attorney General is a Woman?
No more questions m’lud.
Is that quite deep, Old Nick….or am I just stupid lol!!
I kind of ‘get’ what ur saying….about justice in ‘this’ life…however, as you sew, so shall you reap and we all have to pay for our actions here or in any other time/dimension come to that…the better and more compassionate we behave here, the more peace of mind we can have later and consequently, if we ALL behave with empathy and compassion, the better all our lives will be.. simples! That includes ripping each other off too…tut, tut, naughty, naughty globalists.
This is all just part of ‘their’ agenda to create hell on Earth. I, for one, won’t play on their Grand Chessboard. I’m Queen of my own board and will not be moved!
;0)
Sorry Suky but schoolgirls and sweatshop employees sew, farmers and redshields sow
. Sorry can’t wink
Another example of incompetence from our so called “ruling class”.
Bloody hopless lot of tossers.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse….. She must be hauled up in front of the judge fined and then sacked….. Not that it would be any loss to the UK.
F***ing parasites.
he already said he was trying to be ironic
no chance of that being spotted here though
duplicate post error intended for above :
Surprise fooking surprise….the BBC are hiding this story on their website.
Er, hardly: it’s the lead story on their politics page.
But lesser political stories are linked on the main page, this one isn’t.
Absolutely disgraceful.
There is a link to this story on the front page, although I agree they should have made it more prominent.
OK, fair enough. The link is way down the page, away from the ‘main’ section.
Why are lesser political stories linked higher up?
It’s on the front page, under the link “Minister ‘hired illegal worker’ ” but buries under the Politics section. No mention of the fact that she is the AG and responsible for the law she is alleged to have broken
Toenails say’s it’s ‘embarrassing’. I always feel that way when I break the law.
To cap it all, Scotland has sacked the poor woman.
Slightly O/T, but did anyone catch Jenni Murray getting a good telling off this morning on Woman’s Hour?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00mqg65/Womans_Hour_17_09_2009/
About 12 minutes in…
Discussing the new William Shawcross biography of the late Queen Mother… Murray attempting to smear the QM about her ‘profligate lifestyle’ (33 staff and — shock horror — an overdraft) and later about the QM enjoying a drink, Shawcross literally ripped into her, “Why do you go on about this? This is the woman held the country and Royal Family together after the abdication, supported her hesitant husband when he was became King. She and the King sustained the British People through 6 years of horror and terror — and you go on about her staff?!!! It’s pathetic I’m surprised at you.”
I cheered!
It was, very briefly, on their front page.
And now it isn’t.
The Grauniad isn’t giving it a huge amount of linkage from their front page, either.
It started in Scotland
Doesn’t it always…
Obesity
Men in skirts
Whatever next?
Marmalade, steam engine, telephone, television.
Mmm…marmalade, yes, but he first practical steam engine was made in England, by Newcomen, and Watt’s idea for an improved version was actually built by Matthew Boulton in Birmingham. The telephone was invented in America and the telly was invented all over the place. Baird’s electromechanical advice was quickly abandoned.
You forgot fiat paper money issued by a central bank (John Law), but perhaps that wasn’t quite such an undoubted benefit to society as the telly unquestionably is.
Yes, we know she broke the law but we also know that it’s babypiss in the lake of ZNL corruption, coupled with her race/sex that it’s barely worth the pixels to suggest that she should resign… it ain’t happening.
Its part of a pattern of behaviour. She and the rest of them will have broken many other of their commandments – as they think they cannot apply to them.
She will be corrupt in many other ways, just like the rest of them.
They are a vile stain on the face of the nation.
Interesting timing, gave the beeboids their much vaunted , see , we’re balanced story, ( but of course it was an unfortunate error ) and allowed them to drop all mention of brown having been found to have been lying to Parliament for months about planned spending cuts . Compare and contrast to when Osborne had lunch on a Russians yacht, which they managed to include in every news item in every news bulletin for approximately three months.
Agreed.
As Attorney General, doesn’t she have the final say in whether a prosecution will be brought? I guess she’s got away with it then.
No that would be the DPP, who ensures “wrongdoers are brought to justice”. He is overseen by the Attorney Ge….err never mind.
Yeah, probably not the smartest career move to prosecute your own boss.
Yeah, just ask the guys from the Scorpions who tried to get Jacob Zuma into the dock.
Perfectly simple…perfectly stated.
A NuLabor law that may, for a change, have the desired result?
Don’t be silly you peasents, the law is for the likes of you not for me. Now sod off, I have to find another illegal to hire for 2p an hour.
Ah,My Lady Scotland, you raise another interesting point about which I think we should know:
How much was the Tongan Illegal paid? Was it greater than or equal to the national minimum wage?
Interesting question that needs an answer!
I this was a fat white male builder called Karl from Birmingham who had a employed illegal labour on his building site he would be in court for sure
Prosecute the woman, that what the law is there for. If she is not prosecuted, the person who takes the decision not to prosecute needs prosecuting
I volunteer to prosecute that non-prosecutor.
Or if she’s not prosecuted the law should be struck off. If it doesn’t apply to her it cannot be allowed to apply to anyone else.
Likewise all previous convictions under this law should be struck off and compensation paid to those wrongly convicted.
It would not surprise me at all if a check on Baroness Scotland’s paperwork were to reveal that she is an illegal immigrant.
She is – the clue is in the name – they should all be made illegal
No way: as Attorney General she would have self-validated her Dominican papers.
Is she from Scotland
No. She was born in Dominica and grew up in Walthamstow.
If she’s the baroness of an entire country, doesnt’ that make her effectively the Queen?
What happened to that other Queen of Scots?
Got the chop.
The Queen of Scots was French.
Excellent point – make it happen, Number One.
No, it relegates Scotland to the status of one of those tiny little places that used to exist where Germany is now.
The Queen is Lord Mandy. The cry in the Upper Chamber sounds like…”off with his panties”. If you get her head that’s the question of swallow or spit???
GBS@10:14
Don’t you mean “confirms”. South of the Wall everyone knows Scotland’s really only as important as Baden-Grumbleflik.
@107
Gordon is not French.
She is the Queen of Scotland
SHE looks like an illegal immigrant to me
I didnt invite her to live in my country
she should fuck off back to where she came from
SCOTLAND!
Don’t be a dick.
She’s no more Scottish than you are, you moron.
A lucid exposition, Guido. Hat tip for ‘her indoors’?
Just out of interest, she was paying at or above the minimum wage, wasn’t she?
There’s a thought.
Would be awful if it turned out that she had been underpaying to poor girl in good faith too.
Baroness Scotland is a true Jock. Her father was a High Ranker in the Black Watch.
Another cock.
No doubt said documents are even now being “discovered” “sourced” or should that be printed out. Doubtless the Guardian and the chittering classes will demand that Inspector Knacker leave no stone unturned in clearing the Baroness of even a scintilla of wrongdoing.
we have, at this point in time, not received a complaint from the Garudian
Is Baroness Scotland really a man?
Mandy would love that. Another arse to play with, at our expense.
I think we’re starting to see a pattern emerging with nuLab attornies general. The last fucher should not be sleeping at all comfortably in his silken pit.
This makes me so fucking angry
Brown will no doubt come out with some fuck eyed bullshit to explain away Scotland’s actions
The only saving grace is that this will have cost Labour another few thousand votes
The only saving grace is that this will have cost Labour another few thousand votes”
No it wont-the 25% who vote nueliebour are thickos who dont read articles like this!
Oh, can they read at all, then? I think probably not…
Serious question:
Can I report her to the Standards Board for a full investigation?
No, she not a councillor.
“Standards for England is the new operating name for the Standards Board for England. You can find out more about this new name in the About Us section.
Standards for England provides an independent, national overview of how local authorities promote and improve the ethical behaviour of their members.”
http://www.standardsforengland.gov.uk/
What about the Law Society then?
You just might as well report her to The Ouija Board.
or the cheese board
Chess Board
Why not the ‘Go’ board
Monopoly board
Notice Board
Ironing board
Good God I’m bored!
go right to the top … report her to the headboard
She could be reported to the Bar, couldn’t she?
No. The Son of the Manse has closed them all.
but is there anyone there?
To criticise her would lead a certain Ms Abbott to rush to her defence and claim that you are racist and in need of re-education.
Her judgement seems to be lacking in all departments. It was her that gave the final approval to proceed in the case against those two teenagers that fell apart yesterday.
Guido did you add the vampire teeth to the picture?
…and who airbrushed the beard?
Have the police been informed?
She must be prosecuted with the full vigour of the law. She is no better than a gangmaster.
We must all be vigilent.
BUT this is not the first time: http://eotp.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/2008-conservative-cllr-patrick-chung/
yes quite but there is a couple of strategic differences
1) This local councillor is not the most senior law officer in the land
2) This local councillor is not the one who introduced the law in the first place.
3) This local councillor is not the one who refused to listen to anyone when they pointed out the problem that has now occurred.
Who was this Person? well Baroness Scotland herself.
Oh and one other thing as well this guy was fined (your own link shows it) although he is appealing but he was fined. Will Baroness scotland be fined? I doubt it.
Next time pick on someone in serious power likening a local councillor no one has heard off to the attorney general just shows you are a pathetic fuckwitted dead head labour Troll
now fuck off!
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at your banality. “labour [sic] Troll”? Did you click on the link and have a look around the website before sounding off?
Obviously not, otherwise you wouldn’t have arrived at that egregious assumption.
CRETIN.
Even I think it is quite unbelievable – wonder what she was paying her?
In South Africa we never ask the question whether our politicians are crooked or not – they all are.
We, rather, ask the question – are they, or will they, do a good job.
Zuma got in, although proved crooked, because most of the population thought he’d do a good job.
This is all any of us can expect from politicians.
who the fuck wants to live like south africans?, guns, murder, corruption, shanty towns?
….people in Brixton?
Have you ever been to Manchester or Birmingham? See if you can spot the difference…
In Soweto they speak intelligable English, Afrikaan, Zulu…
The difference is that in SA the law abiding can defend themselves. Here, only the gangsters have guns.
British Jobs for Tongan Workers
lol, nice anon! Think my sides have split!
This has nothing to do with race or sex, it is to do with the LAW
If this woman is not punished, it just confirms what many think that there is ANARCHY IN THE UK
Wikipedia
Anarchy (from Greek: ἀναρχία anarchía, “without ruler”) may refer to any of the following:
* “No rulership or enforced authority.” [1]
* “Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder.”[2]
* “A social state in which there is no governing person or group of people, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder).”[3]
* “Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere.”[4]

As someone once said, ‘there’s never just one cockroach in a kitchen’.
Investigating the profiles of those employed by other ministers (and there must be quite a few as these people are generally too haughty to do the simplest domestic task for themselves) might be rewarding.
I assume the press are on the case right now…
Regardless of her position, she should have checked the credentials. Will probably say someone else did and they have resigned.
Unelected – no one to answer to. RESIGN
Why do NASA or the Hadron collider team not have more Black women in top jobs?
There aren’t many running Nuclear Power plants either.
Racism could be the answer or more likely that you can play equality games with ‘Talking head’ non jobs like Judges but when it comes down to the serious shit not even a so called Liberal would take a chance on a Black woman.
damn straight honky.
They’re all sprinters. They’re too busy to run (!) a nuclear power station.

OOCCHH!
I agree – they create a big brother state to watch over us – while they start taking the piss and dining out at our expense
Let’s not forget an illegal war they got us involved in – Forget Bliar running for El Presedente of Europe – The most prominent European seat that lunatic deserves is in the dock at the Hague
A government of all the talents? They have only one talent. The talent for destruction by corruption. The bastards.
The good news is that this is not another MPs’ expenses farrago, where it could be claimed by the miscreants that “‘our’ rules were not broken”: any wriggling off the hook by Baro Jockland will provide an excellent precedent for defence counsel in future prosecutions, as well she must know.
She will be receiving appropriate re-training
Surely its common knowledge that virtually all cleaners are illegal immigrants? When you work a little late the Panamanian or Ghanian cleaner who clears your cups away is unlikely they have a UK visa. No illegal immigrant cleaners = no cleaning
There was a recent demonstration in the City to highlight the practice of reporting cleaners to immigration officials the moment they try to demand better pay and organise themselves into unions
It is common, and it’s still illegal. Unfortunately, we here don’t run the system.
Personally, I’d prefer a motivated immigrant to the native arseholes.
If the government’s chief law officer deliberately ignores the law we are getting into very dangerous territory.
gettting….GETTING???????????????????????????????????
Anything to do with me always stinks
It’s akin to Obummer not having a US birth certificate…WHAT. A fore in her in the White House!!!! I am the son of the Manse (sic)… Mandy on forgot to tell the authories of his £330k loan, his illegal bum-boy… Jack Drombie did not know.. I just goes on and on and on and on
yes you do – and we still don’t know quite what you’re on about…
Get the message folks, no one resigns from this government no matter what they do!!!
For god’s sake half the cabinet and the PM wheren’t even elected and they are running the country.
Time we showed that fuckwit from the TUC what insurrection means.
Thank you, thank you thank you.
The one thing that will keep me in power is insurrection.
I can then impose martial law and hand over to my good fiend Peter.
Then you will have to watch out.
Never mind a £500 fine for not filling your bin properly.
Rendition will be an every day occurrence for dissenters.
Remember, I am the son of Manse and must be obeyed.
The one thing that will keep me in power is insurrection.
I really wouldn’t bet on that.
fuck off you poof.
Caroline Flint resigned. And Ruth Kelly. Mandy a couple of times. Robin Cook. The Minister with the stinky flat. What’s his name ?
Margaret Beckett, defending her dodgy expense claims on question time, said “When you are particularly busy you don’t always do things properly.”
I’m sure the Baroness would claim the same – too busy to check properly.
This attitude is at the root of the rot. MPs and senior civil servants feel that what they do is not comparable to that which is done by the rest of us. They are very important, very busy people and therefore are allowed to make mistakes. We are very unimportant low lives with bags of time on our hands to comply with every piece of red tape thrown at us.
Hey leave that woman alone!! As a high ranking ethnic species, she is entitled to employ any other ethnic as she pleases.
So there.
do fuck off with your fuckwitted racist ‘species’ twattery
she should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law no matter what race or ethnicity she was
wankers like you only make it harder to bring the corrupt to justice
You’ve not managed to penetrate the irony, I see. Clear as tits on walrus.
please read my reply above if it gets past the moderation.
Patricia Janet Scotland, Baroness Scotland of Asthal, is not Scottish thank god. She clearly takes her titles from her surname.
Phew! ANyway she should be sacked but it seems it’s almost impossible to get idiots in the Government sacked I won’t be holding my breath.
McMental, Mangledbum, Balls, Millitwat and the rest should be removed but it won’t happen.
Sack the bloody lot of them – thieving b’s.
And I wonder where she got her surname. Funny sort of a name to be running about West Africa with, waiting to be sold into slavery by your Muslim ‘brothers’.
More likely the surname of her ancestors ‘owners’ in Domenica. Scotland eh? I wonder where that chap came from?
I think Idi Amin called himself the ‘King Of Scotland’ wonder if there is a family connection or Idi was just having an off day?
Kin I jus’ mention – da lady is no kin, nuthin’. Me’d still pork her, though – o, yes!
She acts like she’s Scottish though – lording it over the English, bent as a nine bob note – that’s proper assimilation that is. I wouldn’t be at all suprised to find that cleaner spent half her day picking up empty Buckfast bottles and scraping deep-fried mars bars off the upholstery.
And I suppose you spend your days morris dancing and punting on the Cam.
Retard.
The only crimes being commited here are the Thought Crimes against Baroness Scotland
Are you quite sure?
you’re dead right. everyone thinks she’s a fucking crim.
91% in the Mail Poll = criminal needs prosecution
Would be 100% apart from the little red freeping bots.
Commited ffs.
I would like to know why Baroness Scotland hired somebody from a foreign country in the first place?
Surely there are all sorts of reasons why she shouldn’t? e.g. Security? or the possibility that employment figures don’t count this person and surely members of the government should be hiring the officially unemployed first?
Furthermore, if a respectable member of Government can be so easily caught out then surely there is something to be said about the ‘fairness’ of the law that she broke?
Surely if she’s prosecuted and found guilty she cant practive as a lawyer, and therefore as an ex lawyer, cant advise the government on legal matters as she has no professional credentials
[...] (Taken from Gido Fawkes’ magnificent blog) [...]
we already read it… doh…
She clearly can’t claim “ignorance of the law”.
So she should be prosecuted to the full extent of her law.
agh, yes, well, there’s ignorance and there’s ignorance. she may have been instrumental in bringing in the legislation but that does not necessarily mean that she knew exactly what it was. in fact the attorney general is so busy that she just has to okay legislation without any knowledge of it at all. but she is sincer in that she’s only human and the odd little mistake is bound to happen in a busy schedule. anyway, she off to have athree hour lunch date with that other extremely busy ex-ag, goldsmith, busy busy busy bee
and presumably once convicted she will be disbarred from both her profession and any office of state
And pigs will fly
It’s only fair.
We all know what’s going to happen. The matter will be referred to ‘Yates of The Yard’ ; he’ll carry out an investigation, the details of which will never be revealed to the public, then the matter will quietly be buried.
Move along now : nothing to see here.
I’ll do it. he definitely jumped the barrier.
oh come on, it’s not like that at all. we’re waiting for the printing paper to come so we can print the report for all to see. won’t be long now…..
If someone unknowingly employed an illegal migrant and faced prosecution, could they use Baroness Scotland’s case (and I use the word loosely) as a precedent?
The CPS will abandon any action against Patricia Scotland as ‘not being in the public interest’. Unless Kier Starmer shows more balls than people credit him with.
As Guido says, the CPS guidelines on prosecution for this offence are at
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/h_to_k/immigration_offences_and_protocol/#Employment_of_Illegal
And the SI requiring the exact documents to be copied and retained at http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2004/20040755.htm
No prosecution, no precedent.
This is the woman who refuses to reconsider the decision to extradite the alleged computer hacker Gary McKinnon to the US. She deserves no mercy.
A very good point.
No mercy.
stoning is too good for her
Eh? He damaged American Computers, so should be tried there.
No Mercy for HIM and HER.
Be consistent, the law is the law.
His crime, if it was one of damaging property, as you say hardly warrents extradition. That lad has alleged learning difficulties. Are you suggesting the same for the top judge? Or are you using the ethnic bell curve IQ study as suggesting that her ethnicity suggests a lower IQ and hence they are both of comparable intelligence?
Down that path lays judicial relativism. She is supposed to set the laws and follow them.He is just a lad with an obsessive interest in UFO’s. I hardly see how they are comparable despite your racist suggestion
She Looks More Like An Illegal Immigrant Than Her Cleaner ! Where The Hell Did She Come From ? She Didn’t Get A Tan Like That From Living In Scotland Thats For Sure !
We had all that before breakfast. Just be careful what you say….
I’m Not Being Racist I Thought She Was British !
There’s not enough “talent” amongst the home grown Labour lobby so theyve had to start appointing excessive numbers of scots and immigrants.
However, my former and now late clerk was rather deprecating about her supposed talent when she was made the first black woman QC and he should know!
Her error of judgment rather proves that old bastard right.
O/T slightly – was just looking to see where ‘s gordon as this crisis breaks over his government and found this photograph of gordon wearing a Gieves and Hawkes suit to the TUC conference where he talked so glumly about the need for belt tightening and cuts.
Gieves and Hawkes suits start at about £3500.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1214081/Gordon-Brown-shows-fancy-new-Gieves–Hawkes-suit.html
That’s our suit. We’ll have paid for that. Not just via his salary either but via a meticulously receipted expense claim.
Just you watch.
It Says In The Article That G@H Made The Suit That Nelson Wore When He Died ! Let’s Hope They Are Working On The Same Suit For Brown !

Look how he treats the taxpayer’s threads!
Some people like touching cloth.
yes but would you wear it after him?
You can actually buy G&H off the peg from around £400 – £600 (that’s how I get mine not being able to expense them).
Mind you, not so happy about the mentalist wearing them, so may have to go back to Crombie.
The only jacket I want to see Brown in is the one wear they lace the arms up and give you crayons to play with.

There Will Be Many MP’s “Housemaids And Rentboys” Being Shoved Out The Back Door This Morning ! That’s For Sure !
Now you know what the extra shitter’s for.
Here’s a question:
All the news reports on this say Baroness Scotland immediately fired her Tongan maid as soon as she discovered her illegal status. Surely as a Britis subject, let alone the government’s chief law officer she was also required to inform the immigration authorities about this person and do all in her power to make sure said II was arrested.
Strangely there has been no mention of this.
The Remittance Man,
My hat goes off to you Sir.
A Direct hit right below her plimsole line.
Well, my old firearms instructor did always say: Aim to kill.
I wonder if aforesaid Tongan maid had a proper contract of employment? If so, it would be interesting to see if “illegal entry to the UK” was written in as a proper reason for summary dismissal?
If not – I hope she gets sued for breach of contract, with punitive damages for mental stress, racism & sexism!
Follow the paper trail, there must be wage slips with tax and NIC details for the unfortunate Tongan lady and undoubtedly the Baroness will have claimed the expenses.
Did Baroness of Sweatysock land ever feature in the Expenses Scandal?
Nell,I think he thought he was getting a Jeaves & Worcsted(PG.Wodehouse)
Which part of British employment law doe’nt the lady understand. Persecute and prosecute the cheating bitch.
Thank goodness we are not the USA where this accountability guff has been taken to extremes.
Long may Baroness Scotland continue in office.
Well you would say that, wouldn’t you.
Doesn’t make it right, though does it.

Ouch. Poor lad.
I’m terrified for poor dear Eddie Izzard and all… after the Gorgon congratulated him on his finishing his charity marathons…
legal advisers to the government cannot be law breakers becuse they would, being corrupt, have a tendency to advise the government incorrectly and to encourage illegality which is exactly what this corrupt person is doing by remaining in her post.
is this the same person perchance who advised alan johnson that is impossible to try gary the geek in this country?
for it it is considering her lawbreaking ways the decision will have to be reviewed innit.
this woman is corrupt and is not fit for office.
All the talk above about “prosecution” is laudable, but is it correct. The relevant employer’s guidelines (thanks Red Rag) states:
You should then keep a record of every document you have copied. The copies of the documents should be kept securely for the duration of the person’s employment and for a further two years after they stop working for you. By doing this, the Border and Immigration Agency will be able to check whether you have complied with the law or are liable to pay a civil penalty if they detect anyone working illegally for you.
No idea what the fuck a “civil penalty” is, but it seems the Border and Immigration Agency is investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury on this one.
So let’s hear from the head of the Agency and the Home Office Minister responsible where they are on making a so-called “civil penalty” stick.
a penalty under the civil law i.e. a fine?
civil means it is not a criminal offence.
They issue instant fines… some employers get £10,000 fines for each employee.. Saw it on the prog Border Patrol
I’ve watched that programme a couple of times. Basically, the Border Patrol capture a load of illegal immigrants and hand them over to the Home Office who let them all go on the proviso that they report for deportation. Of course, they are never seen again!
My local Indian restaurant was busted by Gordon’s Stasi a few months ago.
Caught 5 illegals and let them loose on bail.
Hey presto – All gone missing.
Thanks all for the clarification above, should have realised that two words would be used: “civil penalty” when one word would suffice: “fine”.
What a wonderful irony if B Scotland were fined and then used the Human Rights legislation to claim that she had not had the benefit of a fair trial before suffering sanction by the state.
After that of course she’ll hire Cherry Bigmouth whatsername and be off to the Employment Tribunal demanding 2 trillion quid compensation for unfair dismissal.
Trouble is she’d get it, given her provenance and other equalities.
Out of interest, what is the penalty for performing paid work as an illegal immigrant?
Isn’t that an offence?
Come to think of it, isn’t being an illegal immigrant, you know, illegal?
Why wasn’t this criminal handed over to the police rather than sacked?
Pig’s tits. I now see that someone has already made that point.
but worth repeating as it’s a very good one.
Of course Baroness Scotland will get away with it. The clues are there for us.
1) The name. Scotlland clearly plays well with Gordon Brown.
2) She is an Oou! (One Of Us.)
Baroness Scotland will she get away with it? And the UK is now as bad as in the 1970s. Thank you, Gordon Brown
You obviously have overlooked the Labour Legislation stating that these laws are for the “little people” NOT for Government Ministers although any minor infringement by a Tory politician will be immediately subject to the rigour of the law, over the top police raids and briefing to friendly journalists on the BBC . When found guilty the offending Tory can expect an exemplarary sentence in keeping with the seriousness of all offences of leaking documents to embarass “high” government officials
This particular instance however was a “honest mistake” and the Baroness was too busy ensuring that crucial legislation regarding immigration was passed into statute to personally look into the documentation of this “minor matter” which was left to her personal assistant to check and this whole affair is clearly a political motivated and silly childish ploy by Tory supporting media. “Knacker of the Yard” will be raiding the Daily Mail’s offices shortly to seize computer disks and arrest any Tory politician that they can think is implicated in this
Indeed, yes. The little people. Owners of Chippies, corner shops, factories and the like. People like us. But not for members of the government Like Baroness Scotland!
This expose reminds me of the Jacqibootsfivebellies situation when she
was eventually humiliated into resignation by her old man’s porno bill.
Please keep digging Daily Mail and other Investo.Journos ‘cos this Baroness Jocko is perilously close to tipping.
Q.What is the difference between a Jocko and a Canoe?
A. A canoe can sometimes tip.
I’d give her a tip. Oh, yes …
Can we find out if she was paying the minimum wage?
Or don’t you have to if you’re employing illegals?
It’s just a mistake, isn’t it? No big deal, but no effective way of penalising a public-sector employer, either; a private-sector employer could be fined.
Excuse me Sir William, the troughing Baroness WAS the employer! Surely our taxes were not being used to pay for the Baroness’ skivvy?
What? She is in Government and she paid for her own domestic staff????? For that alone we ought to forgive her.
O/T but well worth signing:

Nice one, scrap the BBC licence fee, an excellent idea
If there are variations on the legal definition of “reasonableness” depending on the gender and race of the accused I think that it should this should be made clear.
As we make allowances in the law for those who have certain medical diagnoses, is it not unreasonable that other groups of people should have there own personal “reasonable” standards of behavoir?
I personally think that Baroness Scotland cannot be expected to understand the law as clearly as a Builder from Birmingham. As she knows she will not be punished she will therefore take no notice of the law in a similar way serial car thieves, shoplifters do not. Society will have to learn new ways to deal with these groups.
What a fuss about one little cleaner.
You will all have forgotten about it tomorrow.
Lets concentrate on Mr 10% and the do nothing Conservatives.
A little bit more quantative easing will help too.
Pass the lube Peter
No doubt the PM will be issuing an appology on behalf of the UK for Black Slavemasters ( mistresses) employing Blacks instead of Whites.
If she is from the Dominican Rep is she an Illegal worker
It depnds on what you mean by ‘work’.
I thought she came from Tonga.
Yet another example of new stasi people not understanding the connection between themselves and the law of the land.
I wonder if the police will take a full, certified copy of Loloahi Tapui’s passport to back their claims of no right to work or remain, before they hand it over to the Home Office Identity & Passport Service.
It would be interesting too see if a stamp might miraculously appear when it comes back from the Home Office Identity & Passport Service, to spare Baroness Scotfree’s blushes.
It’d be hard to see blushes on Baroness Scotland’s face
Another disgrace, gradually its actually dawning on the population as a force, just how corrupt the “so called” establishment are.
French got it right in 1789
France was still governed by privileged groups—the nobility and the clergy— (also acting as the judiciary) while the productive classes were taxed heavily to pay for foreign wars, court extravagance, and a rising national debt.
HoHoHO!
Let’s hope history repeats itself.
A guillotine on that plinth up in Trafalgar Sq would do nicely.
Neo-Liebour:
Above the law and beyond a fucking joke.
How much more shite do we have to take off these cnuts before something’s done?
I hereby officially give notice, with immediate effect, to the withdrawal of my consent to be governed by this shower of dog shit.
Typical NuLiebor mentality. Get someone on the cheap even though she can easily afford to pay a decent wage. Greed, greed, greed.
I think you’ll find the law in question is one of the “little people laws”. Since 1997 ministers have been painstakingly converting “ordinary laws” into “little people laws”.
Ordinary laws have the disadvantage of applying to everyone. The rather more popular – among ministers and celebrities – little people laws apply only to a certain section of society and are generally much more useful for just that reason.
Seems to me that unless someone(what’s the betting it’ll be her unfortunate PA if anyone is although the Baroness is still ultimately responsible for the actions of her agent either way)is charged then there is a potent defence for anyone else charged under this Clause of the Act and of course the ultimate “Get Out of Jail Free” card when summing up to the Jury i.e. one law for the rich and powerful and another for the “ordinary” citizen.
Spot on. Nulab have put thousands of “little people” laws on the statute book which were never intended to apply to them our ‘superiors’, indeed 99% of the members of the lower and upper chambers have no idea whatsoever about what they have voted through onto the legislature, If the Attorney General of the Country has no idea what these laws mean what hope for the rest of us when Baroness Scotland can plead ignorance? (and get away with it to boot).
So what do MP’s pay for?
The TaxPayers’ Alliance said it was unacceptable that MPs left their debts to the public purse unpaid for so long. Food and drink in the Commons is already subsidised by the taxpayer to the tune of £6.1 million a year. The details of MPs’ debts were obtained from the Commons by the Press Association under the Freedom of Information Act.
They showed that in August, 329 MPs owed a total of £138,046 in entertainment and catering – an average of £419 each. Some £45,150 of that had been due from 77 MPs for more than six months. The figures include MPs’ liabilities from events they have sponsored – giving third parties such as constituents access to Parliamentary facilities – as well as personal bills.
The Commons also revealed that another £10,018 was owed by 52 MPs in overpaid salaries and allowances. That included £4,229 outstanding from 20 MPs for more than six months. These figures are distinct from the hundreds of thousands of pounds of dubious claims paid back by MPs in the wake of the expenses scandal.
Bloody parasites!
If we “forgot” to pay our tax bills, all hell would be let loose.
The Inland Revenue don’t give us ordinary people any leeway at all. Funny how MP’s can defer their payments until they feel like it.
Perhaps once again, there is a government of spivs, by spivs for spivs.
The official attitude which masked the expense corruption, and the attitude to it is still ‘So what?’
It’s a Spivocracy, isn’t it?
Has anyone actually made an official complaint to the Police yet?
Done it. To the Borders Agency
Well done..
Nice if you could keep us up to speed on this one.
Got to love the BBC “The attorney general sacks her Tongan housekeeper because she was allegedly working in the UK illegally.”
Really? She definitely didn’t sack her just because the Daily Mail found out about it?
Still no article on their website, just a headline with no link.
“BREAKING NEWS:Gordon Brown’s spokesman says PM has ‘full confidence’ in Baroness Scotland” She’s well fucked.
Nice to see they remain nonpartisan as usual.
Gordon has full confidence in Baroness Scotland. She’s a gonner, then.
You can kill us but you will never kill OUR FREEDOM !

Cookie remember had the balls to take the piss out of Macmillan as he sat watching him in the establishment club
Why get so heated up? Yes, if the law has been broken penalties must be paid. But, of course, they won’t be paid, her position is will not be lost, and nothing will happen. Anyone thought of a class action law suit, perchance?
Still think there’s democracy in Britain, do you?

Apparently cleaner said”I knew I’d slip on a banana skin working for Baroness Scotland”. Can’t we do her for wacissmm now as well as being an illegal.
