Baroness Scotland : Show Or We Tell
Chris Galley, the former Home Office official who now heads the Sunlight Centre for Open Politics has written to Baroness Scotland demanding that she shows proof that she complied with the laws she was responsible for introducing at the Home Office.
It is a fundamental rule of politics that law makers can not be law breakers – particularly when they are the highest law officer in the land. The letter asks the Attorney General to show publicly the legally required documentation or face being reported to the UK Border Agency later today…
This terrorist Galley is an agent of chaos and ought to be clapped in irons forthwith – send for the secret police at once and have him committ suicide in the woods forthwith
I trust your post is ironic – the sad thing is that if he were found dead in the woods, it wouldn’t surprise me. I hope sunlight can afford some decent security for him, as he deserves it for the sterling work he’s doing.
‘Get In’
I have already complained to the Borders Agency. I thoroughly recommend we all do.
Yes, here is the email address to do so.

Who has primacy of jurisdiction here – the Met, or the Borders Agency? I hardly think it likely that Bob Norris and the SO17 lads are going to step in to make an arrest . . .
She cannot be guilty, she’s black init? Having a go at her is only racist init den!
Sorry, Sorry, had a bit of a Carter moment there.
In reality, this is actually gives me a guilt-free feeling of Schadenfreude. Hoisted upon one’s own petard! Broken her own laws, and she should know better than most that ignorance is NO DEFENCE IN LAW.
She employed an illegal immigrant. That is illegal. Either she checked and was duped, in which case she is merely incompetent and should resign, OR she didn’t check at all and broke her own law.
Throw the fucking book at her!
I love the smell of roasting ministers in the morning!
‘I got the Mayor up my ass, the Chief up my ass, the Sunlight centre up my ass and the Attorney general up my ass’
*POP*
SO17…… Lock and reload
We thought she concealed a bomb!!! Seven in the head one in the shoulder. Perfectly legal init!
I await news of the arrest of Chris Galley, and the subsequent full and generous cavity searches to which he will no doubt be subjected.
We’re already on the way, to detain him under the mental health act.
Dodgy pics on his PC? That usually does the trick. Silences criticism too.
Where TF is Asthal? Is it in Scotland?

Asthal is a village just off the A40, in Oxfordshire. It’s about halfway between Witney and Burford.
Baroness Scotland sounds more authentic than Baroness Umbongo
It’s a cracker
Oh, dear! But I think she will use the OOU get out clause.
Harsh but fair.Her government unleashed this torrent of regulation on small employers and she,of all people ,must abide by them herself.Doubt if she’ll still be in office by the time the Sundays hit the street.If she stays,the legislation will be a joke.
She’ll not be called to account. She’ll get off “scot free.” She has two things going for her: she an ethnic minority and female. Normal conventions and rules won’t apply.
I agree with both your points Anon 29 but I would like to add a couple of my own. She belongs to NuLabour, ergo she will be protected. She thinks that the laws she makes are not applicable to her, just to us plebs.
Yup, ignorance of the law is not a defence for us, just for labour cronies!!!
Throw the fucking book at her!
@102
Wonderful isn’t it. Two “baronesses”, both ethnics and both in trouble with da law, but our coppers have all been on liebour diversity courses so tiptoe around the House of Lordies and Ladees like manky cats on hot barbecue embers.
Nah, she’ll get to stick around – resigning or being sacked ain’t the New Labour way. Even if she does, she’ll be back fairly swiftly somewhere else a la Mandelson/Malik.
Please – this is Labour we’re talking about…
She’ll just deny employing an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper, and front it out.
Gordon’s shown them the way. Truth, honesty and honour mean nothing to these people.
Truth. They can’t handle the truth
Thery’re all just trash. Anyone but labour next election. All peers appointed by Brown should be thrown out. EU treaty signed by Brown should be declared illegal on grounds of Mental Health Act.
.
No one will be prosecuted, theauthorities will piss about till the dust settle and then claim insufficeant evidence to proceed. Think about it why has no one been done for filleding expences?
Er, the dog ate it.
Er, the photocopier was broken and the service guy never turned up.
Er, when he did finally fix it I ran out of photocopier paper!
Er, er, er, er, er, er ad infinitum.
and ink
Er, I was on holiday at the time.
More like ‘Er… it’s one rule for us and another rule for you. So f*ck off.’
B for Baroness gets filed under B right? How it made it’s way into the file marked Blair ACL (expenses) I have no idea….
She could try “racist witch-hunt’. Working a treat for the Kenyan President, Obama.
Nothing will come of it. When the filth in government break the law, it’s a mistake or a clerical error etc.
On the other hand, ordinary people are terrorists and conniving criminals in the eyes of this fascist state, and need to be constantly monitored, fined, beaten, incarcerated, and their every action regulated and controlled with threats and violence.
It’s disgusting that this Nu Labour filth will be in power for another 9 months.
The Tongan was a Wrongan.
The olde BaroNESS Monster has got to go.
Heeeheeee.
Last days of the Roman Empire springs to mind here….. these people are all of a type, disgustingly arrogant, believing that the laws of the land refer to we plebs and not them !!
I think the guinnes heiress getting away with her on-plane antics proves that their is “one law for them and another for us”.
Couldn’t she just use her “labour get out of jail free card” ?
I am sure Wendy,Charlie Gordon,John Reid and many, many other labour party members will be queuing up to give her advice.
The Romans had a straightforward system: there were the Honestiores, the rulers and top people, the super-rich, the aristocrats, officials and creatures of the Roman totalitarian system; they weren’t subject to the same appalling penalties as the Humiliores, the ordinary folk, the wage-earners and producers of necessities. So what got you burned alive as a lesser mortal might just be a bit of a slap on the wrist if you were one of the elite (or nothing at all as you were untouchable cos of your connections or could simply afford the necessary bribes). Sound familiar?
PM …….. Has full confidence in Baroness Scotland.
That’s her done for then
Unless his PhD in the history of the Labour Party in Scotland also qualifed him in law how can he know whether she’s “doing a good job”?
I did a great job this morning. Muesli helps.
He thinks he’s doing a great job as P.M. and look at the state he’s got the country in.
He really doesn’t live on this planet, does he?
I think Chris should be put into the Lords by Dave when he gets in… this is superb. I would willingly give everything I have to see some of this lot behind bars… some fat chance unfortunatly!
Like Baroness Udder and Mzzz ‘Shagged in Sarf’ampton’ – and also the Glorious and Beloved Leeda, – I please myself.
Now just go away and let me flail myself.
Or do some work if you have any.
Are her expense claims also in order?
If she has had the vote of confidence from whey faced political supermo Gordon Broon, she will be looking for a P45.
All is in order. PM Brown has just stated that he has “Full confidence in Baroness Scotland etc etc yawn”
I am off to Harrods to celebrate.
There is no way Baroness Scotland will face any charges over this.
The decision whether or not to bring charges lies with the DPP – who answer to the ‘honourable’ lady herself.
And as for her doing the right thing and resigning – not a snowball’s chance in hell.
See last thread – seems it’s up to the Borders and Immigration Agency not the DPP.
It’s a “civil penalty” dontcha know?
But is it an “absolute offence”? I thought these had no defence. Perhaps the legal wizards can comment.
We think she can’t avoid a fine because, as you say, it’s strict liability, but will avoid a prosectuion because there’s discretion, which she’ll get.
And I will absent myself from any discussion of the subject.
(Yeah, right……)
This woman obtained a law qualification from a technical college.
Now she is a Baroness and Attorney General! Her role requires her to understand complex legal matters and make key decisions which affect our safety and our national integrity.
A typical NudeLabour beneficiary.
Just like the economics genius, formerly known as Prudence.
As someone pointed out in another blog – the current crop of mediocre Ministers, Junior Ministers and advisers are more representative of local town hall parish councillors than major players of international stature.
Spot on
Is it cos I is black?
Nope, it’s cos you’re an odious little cretin who wants to play the race card as some kind of demented excuse for breaking the law.
I don’t believe there’s anyone here that would thing this was a lesser crime if she’d been any other colour
Of course I mean “anyone here that would THINK”
Damn my typos
To call this bunch of losers ‘mediocre’ is an insult to mediocrity.
“As someone pointed out in another blog – the current crop of mediocre Ministers, Junior Ministers and advisers are more representative of local town hall parish councillors than major players of international stature.”
Absolutely. The conspiracy of mediocrity which has dumbed down Britain and led to the dumbest ruling regime we have ever had. Dumb but spiteful and arrogant with it.
When are we going to see the back of these bastards?
when we line them up against a wall and shoot the f***ing lot.
Why is it necessary to wait all day to see whether she can produce the documentation? Surely she can be reported to the ‘UK Border Agency’ now and they will be able to check her papers.
Let the sun shine in to where it rarely gets – unless your a bender on hols on a Mandelscum yacht – turn the lady (sorry . . . . . one of HoHoHo_HaHaHa_Person’s Wimmin) – upside down and inside out – just like she might an innocent person (note that yer terrayst goes free + bonus compensation!)
Yeah man, – let the SUN SHINE like it’s never shone before

This attack on poor Baroness Scotland is quite clearly motivated by her ethnic minority status. Shame on you all for daring to suggest that such a pillar of the Labour movement could possibly be complicit in breaking a law she introduced. The whole affair is so clearly an oversight I am imminently expecting a clarifying statement from Lord Mandelson, another nonpareil whose actions are so often misunderstood.
We’re so sorry.
They’ve introduced so many rubbish laws they’ve forgotton most of them anyway.
This is just a reminder to the poor lady what it feels like to be on the receiving end.
Typical Nu Labour
They briing all these blacks over here, who then set about taking Our Peerages, wigs and cheap cleaners.
Enoch was right.
I can hear the chorus of execration already.
Where are you meeting up?
Enoch never said it would go this far.
Oooohhhh!!!! – reading this is too exciting for me.
P L E A S E will someone search my cavities quickly???!!!

Hello…
No, Mark, YOU need someone to vacate their cavities!
You need to meet my brother M.T.
Evacuate ! Evacuate !
I think you’re racialising the debate… next you’ll be shouting “you lie” at politicians who lie. Try to get into the 21st century, it is our country now.
You can understand why there is quite a strong argument why women should not be allowed to vote and why women rarely feature in senior private sector management
You don’t see many designing nuclear power stations, flying planes…… or emptying bins!
That turns out not to be the case. I know several female airline pilots, and also a woman who was a jet pilot in the RAF.
Some planes crash.
I know several women who cannot park a car
Jets fly themselves these days
There was no women pilots in the 1970′s
They only fly planes cos they don’t need reverse nor to be parallel parked
Worst landing I ever had, the plane hit the deck so hard, it actually bounced back into the air. Guess what, lady driver!
Global warming nutters?
Women should concentrate on the things that they are good at. Cooking, cleaning, making themselves pretty, reading glossy magazines and spending money. They shouldn’t worry their pretty little heads about all this ‘grown up’ stuff. It only confuses them.
ye, they have specially designed small feet to ensure they can get up close to the sink
EV. You’ve met my wife, then?
That’s not an argument at all, Bints. I would bet on my daughter to beat you in an argument any day, by logic, not by any female wiles. Instead it is an argument that people should be appointed on merit, not as token representatives of race, sex or religion. Unfortunately pretty much everyone in the government is a token, or a toady, or both. Merit does not come into it.
Are you an islamic fundamentalist or just a mentalist.
I’m putting the ‘fun’ back into ‘fundamentalist’.
Now we know why the Blair-Brown-Campbell Axis of Evil actively promoted mass immigration.
Cheap servants for the socialist class!
Of course they had to do that
because they were paying the indeginous scumbags too much dole and disability so they wouldnt carry out there traditional roles
Have you just cottoned on to that. Now they can’t get them on expenses they don’t know what to do with them.
I have every confidence in whoever it is – some woman – and I couldn’t care a toss ‘cos it all started in America.
Now, can I be left alone to play with my toy money machine without another disturbance!!
Any idea what the Tongan lady was doing for her? Was she paid out of expenses? Was she security checked? Did she have access to confidential parliamentary papers?
Is there any chance whatsoever of ever getting an answer to any of these questions?
Oh, thought not.
Apparently she cleaned the house, emptied the bins and swept leaves.
You know, the little things us poor fukcers have to do ourselves.
Tongan housekeeper, eh? You don’t get many of them in a dozen.
Twelve.
More’n that at the baker’s I think.
Does this mean we’re not going to see Broon for a few days then until the dust clears?
Mc Bogey muncher is in the bunker – troughing on perscription drugs and throwing phones at the wall
Won’t see him until he is asked to tell another lie
We’ll just get press releases from Brown until his next celeb appears on the doorstep. Life is just too hot to handle for the tosser.
Make him go away permanently. Every time he appears I want to pewk.
So she is being fined £10,000 and her ex-housekeeper deported for being an illegal?
I thought not….
No, no ,no. Because she THOUGHT that the housekeeper was working legally. So it’s ok then. No id’s, passports or proof of eligibality to work required here.
It’s just us mere mortals that have to go through all that damn paperwork when we employ someone.
Couldn’t make it up…..
A year ago Liam Byrne said: “”There are dodgy employers out there who are trying to undercut their competitors and drive down British wages by employing people illegally, so we’ve come up with this new way of taking much faster on-the-spot action.
“It’s quite clear that this new regime, which is part of a big shake-up of Britain’s border security, is already beginning to work.”
Why isn’t the faster on-the-spot action being taken in this case I wonder.
Why is my comment awaiting moderation? Is Liam Byrne another of your sacred cows?
Have another pie while you wait.
sacred cow pie
You’ve probably been singled out.
It’s just to make you edgy, chook.
Just as taxes were for Leona Hemsley and our politicians, so ZaNuLieBor politicians are above the law, as we have seen all too frequently the last 12 long years!
Have the likes of Hoon, Milipede i and ii Darling, Usher, Brown, Balls, Cooper, Flint, Blears and the rest of the spivs ever published their tax returns? Have any of these honourable members paid stamp duty or CGT on the sale of their residence.
These buggers loved the USSR, and seem to think that they can ape the apparatchiks who had special dachas, shops, cars for their enjoyment.
They don’t think they can, they know they can.
NuLabour Equality Test paper

Question 1
Yesterday the Labour government turned us all into potential ‘kiddy fiddlers’ because we give lifts to the kids to clubs etc. As a result we all now must be CRB vetted at our own cost and incedentally while providing 1200 jobs available in a Labour marginal seat.
Today Baroness Scotlandland the manages to have employed someone who more than likely would come into contact with children at her place of work but yet has been found to be an illegal without a visa and who has obviously not been vetted in any shape or form.
Discuss.
It’s all Thatcher’s fault.
If she hadn’t promoted the capitalist free-for-all, immigrants wouldn’t have wanted to come here, so couldn’t be employed by people.
Looks like Ms Harperson is rewriting history….. Maggie who? Harman airbrushes Thatcher from her list of most powerful women in politics :http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1213977/Harriet-Harman-forced-acknowledge-Margaret-Thatcher-oversight-airbrushes-Iron-Lady-political-history.html
The saddest thing about that story is that the list was intended as a reference for schools, showing just how much the fascists seek to brainwash our children with their filthy political propaganda.
They are disgusting. They disgust me. I detest them. I want to see them and their filthy party obliterated from British politics forever.
Extract form that list
2007 Baroness Scotland is first black woman Attorney General
Can this be ammended
2007 Baroness Scotland is first black woman Attorney General who subsequentally became the first Black Woman to break her own law about employing illegals.
It was later discovered that she had a hand in a cockle gathering operation oop ‘t’ north as well
How can you have immigration and a welfare state? If there is such a demand for labour then severely reduce the size of the welfare state. People will travel half way around the world to do the work but will not move within the UK as the benefit system entraps them.
There should also be an inquiry into why Boreness Scotfree did not have her cleaner arrested instead of just sacking her and letting her abscond.
Do the government know where she id now?
In the woodpile
Hahahahahahahah nice one
BBC:
“Keith Best, of the Immigration Advisory Service, said employers had to comply with Border Agency guidelines – including checking visa status on passports. Those who fail to do so can face a “civil penalty” of £10,000 per worker.
“The perusal of a National Insurance certificate in itself is insufficient to escape a civil penalty,” he told the BBC.
If the documents checked were not those the Border Agency requires, it was “inevitable” she would face a civil penalty, he said, but added it was extremely unlikely she would face a criminal prosecution.
“To be prosecuted criminally for employing somebody illegally, you have to knowingly do so. And I would have thought it’s incomprehensible or beyond doubt that a government minister would knowingly employ an illegal migrant.” “
then this is a typical Nulabour piece of crap Law
The words that are important her are “knowingly to do so”
Anyone who now gets done under this law just has to say ‘I didn’t know’. Documents no idea. That Baroness lady didn’t have any so why should I?
Case collapses.
Typical classic Nu Labour disaster area. The law will now have to be removed from the staute book. More money hosed away for no good reason.??
That comes out of the same phrasebook as “It is an obvious statement that the Prime Minister would never mislead Parliament”. It is an obvious statement ie it is obvious that they would say that, but it is also demonstrably a lie.
Resignation followed by nice new job in a quango somewhere on more money and another pension.
a quang a quango I’m workin’ on a quango.
Not if Dave scraps them all.
I am the Lord of the Manse and this is nothing to do with me.
Anyway, I thought she was a man.
And she has my full support until Peter says otherwise.
I will now be visiting the troops/hybernating until this blows over.

So when will Brown take questions on this, will it be after he has answered questions on Lockerbie?
Nope the 32nd of Julember
Due to her invaluable work for charity it will not be in the puvblic interest to prosecute
Why?
You marshalling 10,000 followers of the religion of peace brigades to ensure she isn’t?
She’ll get off because of the word “knowingly” as in “knowingly employed” etc etc).
Yep. She’ll have to have a ‘guilty mind.’

Nick Damien Green – it’s all his fault!
This slack old “I did it in good faith” line is the same crap MPs tried to use with their expenses.
It is wonderfully ironic that Nu Labour has been nicked by its own laws. trying to find ways to bash business without realising they themselves run their own little businesses hiring cheap labour to look after their kids, husbands, houses, porn etc.
Let’s enjoy the next 10 days as Scotty tries to cling onto her role, and a nice convenient race card coming over from US, thanks to Mr. Carter
She will not even have to try to hang on to her role, no one dare challenge the CEHR gestappo.
Carter is a pillock. Any criticism of the President is inherently racist because he is an African American? What a load of manipulative bollocks. Typical of the left – any devious trick to shut up the opposition, to hide their legion faults and to continue the biggest communist con-trick in the history of the world.
God, how I detest the left.
its present in the right too unfortunately
Have you noticed the new Labour line when one of its members is accused of wrongdoing. First there was the BBC reporting the Prime Minister’s spokesman thus: “It is an obvious statement that the prime minister would never mislead Parliament, clearly.”
Now the BBC report Keith Best of the Immigration Advisory Service as saying that: “And I would have thought it’s incomprehensible or beyond doubt that a government minister would knowingly employ an illegal migrant.”
Are we still expected to swallow the line that the members of this Labour government are still “purer than pure” so that any indiscretion must just be an honest mistake? I will not swallow that, will you?
Actually, it’s rather offensive to ask a Labour politician such questions.
Immigration visas were never my strong point.
In what contect is the question referred to being asked?
Ahhhh! Keith Best of the Immigration Advisory Service. I wondered when he would float to the surface again.
The use of the word “float” has a certain irony here.
Now, wasn’t there an MP who had to resign because he made multiple applications for BT shares so he could make a killing when they “floated”?
A man of utmost integrity who when forced from office laid low for a while and eventually got a well paid quango post. A template for the noble baroness if she steps down.

This opinion piece in the WSJ makes the point that nobody knows what the rules are today and contrasts this with sports.
On behalf of employers everywhere, may I take this opportunity, to thank the good baroness for brightening up my Thursday immeasurably.
Seconded!
Like Brown she has taken full responsibility and sacked the person responsible.
It’s all about the courage. I even wrote a book on it.
Al Beeb’s website has the story on the bottom left hand corner of their UK website, you really have to search for it. I hope this incompetent woman is going to get her cheque book out just like that other sanctimous little fool.
This is Toenails take, “The BBC’s political editor Nick Robinson said the disclosures would be embarrassing for Mr Brown, given Baroness Scotland’s seniority and her ministerial responsibilities.”
Nothing yet from him on the earlier point, “She was a Home Office minister when laws were passed to fine bosses who employ illegal workers up to £10,000.”
Ho ho ho
Ha ha ha
Another Labour woman who don’t understand important stuff
Or a mug of soup.
OT ,
Guido, surely harpersons’ ‘some important wimmin’ list, deserves a tiny liccle post – even the Toady beeboids found it cringemaking to discuss.
seconded
I work hard all year and they steal 40% of my money. Seeing Harperson’s “great women” list really brought home what a waste of so much public money government is.
If you think that they take only 40% of your cash, you either need a new calculator or you’re grossly underpaying your taxes.
No that’s about right if you pay standard rate tax, by the time you add in VAT and NI and fuel tax. For us lucky top rate tax payers, it’s about 60%, shortly to rise to 70%, not quite “1 for me, 19 for you” as the song goes, but heading in that direction.
Don’t forget the Insurance tax, house and car 5%, Council tax (circa 1500 quid for the average bloke), Airport tax, Road-fund license, capital gains tax, Inheritance tax, Tv tax (called a license), MOT, alcohol and tobacco duty, import tax. I could go on. Don’t also forget that employers have to tax and NI on their employees, costs which are added to the price a consumer pays. Don’t forget Stamp duty, or planning fees to council to apply for permission to paint your front door-around £200.00, even if they say no. Don’t forget Land fill tax, and the soon to appear carbon tax. Don’t forget confiscation of old people’s homes to pay for medical care they have already paid NI for 50 years for. If after all this lot, your tax is 40%, your onto a good earner, probably a Gov employee. For the average bloke on 20 grand a year, it’s a nightmare.
Just read the letter

“Very hard to check” – so why was it passed into law.
Very gentle interview – not pressing the point at all.
Master Fawkes,
With the greatest of repsect I fear you and your friends at Sunlight are barking up the wrong tree.
Past experience shows that those of the nomenklatura will easily get off using the old overworked minister making an honest mistake line. What she cannot avoid is answering for what she did after she discovered her maid was an illegal.
We are told the maid was fired as soon as Baroness Jockland discovered her illegal status. But here we have a member of the cabinet closely involved with the justice system. She must have very good contacts with the cops and INS. So unless the Maid of Tonga is currently languishing in Belmarsh or Yarlswood, I would suggest that her erstwhile employer is guilty of aiding and abetting the flight of a criminal.
I think you’lll find the maid has done the honourable thing and fallen on her sword – they’ll be finding bits of her washed up on the shores of Scotland over the coming weeks.
Falling on one’s sword is sooooo 2nd century.
The prefered method nowadays is to take a walk in the woods armed with nothing but a length of rope, a blunt penknife and a bottle of painkillers.
I say she fell on her sword but what of course I really meant that using anti-terrorist emergency rendition laws some NU NSDAP heavies escorted the unfortunate maid from the Blessed Baroness’ abode and slowly fed her through a mincing machine – much more 21stC I think you’ll agree.

Eliza! Where are my Slippers of the Yard!
Galley’s “job” appears to writing one letter a week pointing out something that was in the previous days papers and putting it on the website. Given that it’s hardly time consuming work, shouldn’t he have put up the financial information by now that guido promised a couple of weeks ago?
On no!
We Scots are goin tae blamed fir this big style by Gordon as it is aw due tae Wee Eck no bein’ tough on illegal immigrants in Scotland’s hoose and nailing them tae the door like his pal Blair and his mate Bush wis aw fir.
But nae worries the DPP will tell the Border Agency there’s nae public benefit in her being done by the beaks – so that’ll be aw right then; just like her pals, Hain, Straw, Wendy Alexander, Joke McConnel, David Marshall, Jacqui Smith, Heather Blears, yon Tory midden and his moat, the toff wi’ his duck hoose et al.
