Lord Mandelson — who knows a thing or two about being sacked from the cabinet in the middle of a front page scandal — says of the Baroness “You have to inform yourself properly before rushing to judgment. That’s what the Prime Minister has done…”

Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
fuck sake guido you know its 1 rule for them and one rule for the rest of us
Good writeup from Mark Wallace on Centreright blog
“Sometimes, of course, people are punished due to breaching overly complex laws that they couldn’t reasonably be expected to understand – particularly given the huge increase in legal complexity Baroness Scotland has overseen. They are normally ordinary invdividuals unversed in the law, though, rather than one of the most senior lawyers in the land who actually helped to enact the very law they have broken.
But as well as being aware of this particular law, shouldn’t the Attorney General should be aware of a such a fundamental principle as ignorance being no defence?”
Completely untenable position by anyone’s standards, would be rather embarrasing for all if she’s still the story going into the Conference next week!!
The Woman has no redeeming qualities at all, perfect NuLabour ‘Face’
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/6220020/Baroness-Scotland-also-facing-questions-over-170000-in-Parliamentary-expenses.html
I am going to keep my £38,280-a-year “night subsistence allowance”.
I am entitled to the allowance, which is paid automatically to me by the department rather than being claimed as an expense, as legislation does not specify where I should live to qualify. And cop this you spoil sports:
A spokesman for the me said: “There is nothing in this legislation, nor the order which gives effect to it, which specifies that this allowance is only to be paid to ministers whose main residence is outside London.
“The Department pays Baroness Scotland the allowance based on this understanding of the legislation. Baroness Scotland has initiated no claim for this or any other allowance.”
And “The Cabinet Office agreed that the payments were not against the rules as they stand.
It’s a loop hole dontcha know luvvies. Just going to tell Mandy about it.
Nah nah.
David and Goliath – Taking on the juggernaut of the ‘Yes’ campaign:
MP Stephen Hesford resigns as aide to the Law Officers citing Baroness Scotland’s failure to resign.
Ollie @147 – good to see someone has principles, though the Red Rag you linked to makes them ‘principals’ which just sums up the wonderful state of literacy that has resulted from 12 years of the lords of misrule
)
I despair, I really do – think I’ll just go and read more Spike Milligan to cheer me up. Or maybe Philip Larkin – he’s always good for a laugh
)
If she is forced to resign, or finally does the honourable thing (fat chance!), she will surely lose the £38,280-a-year “night subsistence allowance”, as she will no longer be a Minister and therefore have no Ministerial Troughing Rights.
She’ll just spend the time between now and her gracious resignation (perhaps end of the year time) to insert herself in to another extra well paid job. She’ll have so much ‘on’ members of the government and the establishment that noone will dare move against her.
@175 The Paragnostic
How I wish I was young enough to use 12 years of Labour rule as an excuse. Sadly I am not, I failed to read it back before posting that’s all. Thanks – corrected now.
I should get a job at the Grauniad. No on second thoughts, I shouldn’t.
Look. You people continuously complain about the sheer volume of regulation and red tape that this wonderful Labour government has introduced. Now you get on your high horse because one little minister forgets about one little law….
This is just nit-picking. You can’t possibly expect her to remember every little law she passed now can you?
Give New Labour 5 MORE YEARS. Just think what they could do…….
@175 The Paragnostic
I have just had a quick look at your new blog and feel the need to point out that Gordon Brown is a one eyed Scottish idiot not a one eyed scottish idiot, capitals should be used for proper nouns and their derivatives. I despair I really do. Revenge is sweet.
Ollie @310 – I’m not sure, but I was always taught that only proper nouns should be capitalised – unfortunatley I’m an old pedant with a not very regular and usually depressing blog ;o)
I’ll change it to a capital S if you really want me to, but would maintain forever that adjectives should not be capitalised ;o)
Oh, and I never ever ‘ize’ a word because that is a Colonial (capitalised) abhorrence ;o)
A similar point is made by the Adam Smith institute. Baroness Scotland: The facts
Aslo an awesome cartoon of Lady Justice from Andy Davey in the paper version of the Sun today, posted with his permission here.
Guido,
Lady Scotland is a Dame of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order Of St George !
I can happily assure you that the “Constantinian Order” of which Baroness Scotland is a member is an imitation of the real Order, given by a junior prince of the Bourbon family whose claims are unrecognised by the King of Spain, head of the Bourbon family. Five Spanish government bodies investigated this prince’s claim, and decisively dismissed it. The factotum of this Order is a Mr Anthony Bailey, a PR guru, who has recommended its wide distribution to a variety of individuals (he also recomemnds awards of the long extinct Order of Francis I of the Two Sicilies, given despite the fact that this kingdom has not existed for almost 150 years.
The real Order (see http://www.constantinianorder.org) is headed by the Infante don Carlos of Spain, Duke of Calabria; its British delegate is Prince Rupert zu Loewenstein and it has no connection with Mr Bailey’s group.
Keep digging, keep digging…..
There’s no snob like a Labour snob… They always go belly-up for trinkets!
Meanwhile, ineresting whispers circulating Whitehall as to why ‘our Pat’ got slapped with that £5k fine so quickly. Apparently it wasn’t that she committed a ‘technical breach’ in not photocopying the paperwork, more a case that the paperwork was so clearly incorrect that a 5 year old could have identified it as wrong.
So either our eagle-eyed Attorney General…
1. Did see the documents but completely failed to pick up on the fact that they were clearly incorrect.
2. Saw they were incorrect but still employed the woman regardless of her illegal status, or…
3. She never saw them in the first place.
Still, it’s only a rumour…
It may be only a rumour, but logic dictates that one of your options 1-3 must be true. Whether we’ll ever find out which one, I suspect not.
I think we may well find out, as and when when our currently ‘on-the-run’ cleaner has the sense to contact someone of the ilk of Max Clifford. She can then provide her story and a copy of the relevant entries on her passport pages . . .
This story has further to run, and to embarass the government. That’s why the opposition parties are glad Brown didn’t fire her.
Option 3. She never bothered to see them at all. That is why her body language is as it is. She is privately embarrassed and uncomfortable in lying. But its the party line thing to always blame somebody else and cling to power.
You don’t get fined five grand for forgetting to do the photocopying, that really is draconian!
So she saw cheap labour flash up before her eyes blinding her to everything else. Hence any of the 3 scenarios you describe could equally apply. Its more than a rumour, it stands to reason.
I say she’s covering up or in unparliamentary language LYING.
She put her foot in it, and she’s now up to her neck!
Or she was so blinded by lust that it wouldn’t have mattered if the Tongan had been Gaddafi’s sister, Osama’s daughter… still only a rumour.
Are you confusing two stories, or do you know something we don’t?
Racist filth! ‘Nacker’ is an extremely derogatory term for members of the Shelta-speaking community. Please redact you comment in a manner appropriate to Party guidelines, or we’ll publish your IP address!
One of her aids has just quit saying he can no longer support her position
SO BARONESS SCOTLAND IT’S TIME TO FUCK OFF !!
“Aides” but I agree “Aids” is more apt with this poxy lot
Standard labour stuff, fingers in ears, going la la la and hoping we’ll go away. The only thing that is boring is her continued refusal to resign. She has compounded her original breach of the law by lying about photocopying the documents, so whether or not the original offence was a resignation issue, she must now be sacked.
Can’t the whole bloody lot just go!
The law terrifies us and business so I hope she is terrified but probably not as she is above it-literally.
If nothing else – she should resign for incompetence.
She has been hoist by one of her own countless poorly drafted laws. Incompetence.
And on paper, she appeared so well-qualified.
Being female & coloured made her the ideal candidate
We’re all “coloured” – I’m pink, she’s brown, and your an idiot. It’s her incompetence and arrogance that’s the issue, not her skin colour.
Agreed. Doesn’t matter what colour she is. Not the point.
It must be hard to admit to yourself you have committed such a grisly balls-up that you have to go, but by now she knows she has, and it is arrogant of her not to walk the plank. She’ll have to go in the end.
Unfortunately what colour and what sex you are born with matter DEEPLY to those of the Marxist faith and they discriminate based on these features.
Have they ceased classifying crime by ethnicity yet? I.E: Most white collar crime is committed by whites, etc. If they still class crime to origin of race then it would seem fair as this crime is white collar. So color doesn’t have anything to do with it and is not important anymore in a multi-cultured climate.
Vlad is being ironic.
I know, but Lord High wasn’t and my reply followed his comment
@18
It would appear that both sex and colour matter very much to this Government. If you think it’s racist to suspect that a black woman with a third rate degree from a fourth rate ‘university’ became the highest legal officer in the land by virtue of her ‘diversity’ and not on her apparent lack of competence and talent, I’m a nazi. Haven’t you got a dog to feed, Pavlov?
and Catholic
So was Guy Fawkes.
You do not have to be a Catholic to be a “member” of that particular Constantinian Order.
Impeach her merkin.
Surely it was George Bush who was a Merkin?
He was always saying: “Aahm proud to be a Merkin.”
If Obama didn’t have an Autocue he’d get to
UM……
These people are unspeakably hubristic.
The tone of the comments on the BBC website even is subtly changing. It is pointed out that the PM is out of the country and when such situations arise and the chief is away, the person under pressure is more likely to jack it in.
We shall see.
Unfortunately the silly sods in the Border Agency will let him back in, see if they don’t.
I really need a larf today and, Sir Bill, thanks for that one.
Seconded.
Toenails’ blog from yesterday is at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/nickrobinson/2009/09/the_baroness_an.html#comments
Not many of the commenters seem to be fans of Lady Scotland, I bet the moderator had a busy day yesterday!!
So busy they gave up and closed the thread to new comments.
The memory hole must be nearly full at the appallingly leftist BBC.
There have been lots of accusations of BBC bias and the BBC has always managed to wriggle out of them by playing the “editorial independence” card. Has anyone had a go at them on the basis of censorship of debate on their blogs? They have simple and straightforward rules for posting, and I would imagine that it would be just as simple and straightforward to audit them.
If it weren’t editorially independent, it would be reflecting someone else’s biases. No? But since it is editorially independent, it can be biased as and when it likes. Makes sense to me — of a sort.
Dismantle.the.BBC
Why don’t Downing Street change the locks whilst he’s away?
I agree, the law she has drafted and pushed through is in part, designed to prevent employers taking on illegal immigrant workers.
By her actions, she has proved that the law just does not work. She apparently did all the checks but just failed to keep photocopies.
If it is so easy to fool the greatest legal brain in the Country, then the law obviously does not work as it was intended.
Get rid of her and get somebody else to have another go at strengthening the law.
“She apparently did all the checks but just failed to keep photocopies.”
So she says. But that just doesn’t stack up. If she really did all the checks, she would have known that her cleaner was here illegally. It’s hardly credible that she wouldn’t know what documentation was required.
Either she never did the checks in the first place, or she did them and decided to employ an illegal immigrant anyway.
I can’t believe that Paxman didn’t spot that on Newsnight last night. He just seemed to take it completely at face value that she’d done the checks in good faith.
I can’t believe that Paxman didn’t spot that on Newsnight last night. He just seemed to take it completely at face value that she’d done the checks in good faith.
He was probably told not to take that line of questioning.
He did very well
(well worth the salary if I say so myself)
Presumably, Beware of Geeks, Paxo was just following the party line. I didn’t see him mention the ‘new world order’ either when it was emblazened all over the set on Monday night…
The BBC can only say what the government want the to
Paxman did quite well v that vilest of vile persons, – the Blair creature, and what a sight he was! He had an expression of fear that said ‘Oh God, somebody’s going to shoot be in the back any minute’.
This is exactly right – she could not have seen legitimate documentation – full stop. Either the cleaner produced ‘high quality’ forgeries, and she is prosecuted and forced to reveal where she got them, or the Baroness is lying. These are the only two options I can see. I think we will see the “Cleaners Tale” a Max Clifford production – Sunday’s NOTW looks favourite.
To play devil’s advocate for a second, could it not be the case that the passport/visa were valid at the time she checked them, but have since expired?
Although that doesn’t alter the fact that she has highlighted exactly why the population of this country has nothing but contempt for this government and all it stands for; if she wanted to retain even a scrap of the diginity one would have thought essential to hold a seat in the HoL, she should stand down now. I imagine it would be even more humiliating to be sacked by someone who was even less competent at his job than she was at hers.
Student Visa. Not working visa, I think?
She should go. But will not without a lot of pushing.
If she had checked them, she would have seen the expiry date. If she knew the expiry date then she was not making a ‘technical error’, she was knowingly employing an illegal.
I want to see the passport. In the paper. Now. Then we’ll know. All of the rest is just speculation.
“greatest legal brain in the Country”
The industry was aghast when her appointment was announced – they still are with each passing day of this fiasco.
Her appointment is at the heart of the New Labour project – over promoting ethnic minorities to tick the right PC boxes & sod their actual competency to do the job.
I would venture the opinion that pressure from within the industry is eroding the sand under her feet with each passing hour.
If she hadn’t been given the top job we would be left with the second best third rate Attorney General wouldn’t we? So it is only right and proper that the best get the best jobs.
it isn’t just about promoting minorities, it is about promoting loyalty. Subservience to the party is the only requirment.
I suppose if you promote someone who isn’t really up to the job you ensure their loyalty.
It is not overpromoting ethnics, though God knows ZaNuLab quota box ticking is as racist as anything they decry. No, it is the utter incompetence of the worthless individuals who are promoted, that is most striking.
Bob hoonormous Ainsworth anyone?
Which is precisely what is needed were another UN resolution to require a legal opinion.
……apart from the legal precedent she has now set and which our learned friends are no doubt gleefully deploying across the piece.
Tonga-Tonga its past your time, go, waddle off into the dusk.
Good God, are you suggesting that she is not the top legal brain in the Country?
If she were, she would be pulling down at least £2 mill a year arguing the toss about the principle of ‘stercorem pro cerebros habes’ in a case of great, expensive and abstruse dullness before Lord Cocklecarrot. not waffling in the House of Lords.
Where DID she get that voice?! Not Walthamstow I doubt.
surgically implanted cheek plums
Well..there’s that Law fucked!
Next one done for the same offence only has to say…”It’s the same as not paying the congestion charge,Guv..that’s what the Attorney general said..and she should know!”
…and get the same 5k fine – 2 days work max for her were she practising. Or 10 starving MPs food rations for a month.
Or 5 minutes to fill in an expenses form…
Does she have a work permit for her wigs?
Now you’re nit picking
only the whigs
On reflection, I’m not sure that any of this makes the slightest bit of difference.
Seriously, is there anyone out there who was planning to vote Labour at the next election before this episode, apart from the kind of die-hard staunchly loyal Labour voter who would vote for a dead gerbil if it had a red rosette on?
I suspect that Labour have now become so unpopular they have got to the point where they just say to themselves “Fuck it. Let’s just do whatever the hell we want. It doesn’t make any difference now anyway”.
I’ve posted a slightly longer version of these thoughts on Labour Home, if anyone’s interested: http://www.labourhome.org/forum/?p=7448
I’ll have a look. Have just read Charles Clarke’s despairing rant in the Evening Standard. October 12th is again quoted as they day they hope to assert themselves for one last try to prevent a rout of their forces… the day they return to parliament…
According to the BBC, this hasn’t happened! The Telegraph is running headlines that Clarke has told McDoom to b*gger off now “on health grounds”. From the Bunker Broadcasting Corporation? Nothing!
I see some non-entity adviser to the Justice Minister, Vera Baird (Stephen Hesford MP) has at least had the decency to resign this morning in protest at the A-G remaining in office, though.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8270509.stm
Theres a whiff of truth about that. These are strange days – they know they are condemned so just want to milk us right to the end. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went further and dropped s*hitloads of bombshells, id cards, tax that sort of thing, as the end draws near just to f*uck up the incoming tories. Who would of course then spend their entire first term doing exactly as they wanted blaming Bruins mega incompetence. Then a decade later, the cycle will repeat with the names changed.
I suspect you are 100% right about all of that. How depressing.
There is always an alternative, it is just Tory and LibDem who really guarantee no change
Scorched Earth policy in full effect.
The spending will continue until the IMF come knocking….
When we had a local council which knew it was going to get rinsed out, it spent the last few weeks tying up contracts for its mates, making it as as hard as possible for the incoming party to reverse them because of the massive penalty clauses.
has no one told you all of the house of commons and lords are fucking thieves.
sorry about that; its me not anon. cleared my cache.
Totally disagree. This is toxic to precisely those people who’d normally vote Labour no matter what. They vote tribal Labour because Labour are “us” and the Tories “them”. But Zanu Labour are wannabe toffs without any class which is worst of both worlds.
“You have to inform yourself properly before rushing to judgment. That’s what the Prime Minister has done…”
is that the same as dithering?
Yes!
So now that he’s informed himself and rushed to judgment, what judgment has he reached?
Surely should have been:
….before coming to a considered judgment. …
Lord Fondlebum wouldn’t have made a mistake like that by accident.
a non-judgement !
I’ll let you know later…
If you inform yourself properly, you don’t rush into a judgment. This is a coded criticism of Brown by Mandy. The knives are being sharpened for next week.
It wouldn’t be the first time that Brown has been “stabbed” by Mandy’s “dagger”
South of: I think you are right – Mandy has chosen his words very carefully. As carefully constructed a statement as “It is outrageous and wrong to make those allegations”.
Has the colourful Baroness got anything ‘on’ the gorgon?
South of : that was just Peter Pettle taking revenge for being twice (hastily) sacked by Bliar.
I hope the Tongan is holed up with Max Clifford as I write. I’d love it, just fucking love it for her to come out and blow the Baroness’ story straight out of the water.
Forgive me intruding but don’t you mean ‘out of the fucking water’?
She should walk the planks, metaphorically. Tong and groove planks
Tongan Groove down the tong and groove planks
“the Tongan is holed up with Max Clifford”
Sounds like an extract from The Urban Dictionary, anon.
A defiant Jacqui Smith brushed off pressure for her to quit as Home Secretary after Conservatives yesterday accused her of “blunder, panic and cover-up” over the granting of clearance for up to 5,000 illegal immigrants to work as security guards.
O/T McMental voted World Statesman of the Year.
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23747692-details/Brown+should+quit+for+his+own+dignity%2C+says+Clarke/article.do
Surely that was just inadvertent early publication of a press release scheduled for 1 April?
‘In a state’ man of the year perhaps.
I first read that as “Worst Statesman of the Year” and thought “Yeah, ok”. Then I looked again and went “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?”
If he goes on ‘The Daily Show’ during his visit, I hope John Oliver’s tipped ‘em the wink about seat covers.
…and flying mobile phones!
one trouser leg tucked into sock perhaps?
What an utter shower of vermin Neolabour are.
A hate filled, spendaholic, lying, twisted, inadequate, foul mouthed, bullying Scotch assumes control of the nation when the war criminal Blair was forced out, without lowering himself to asking the people what they thought.
Now the gurning loony has effectively ceded control of the nation to Little Lord Sodomite, the glorious mortage defrauding, serial resigning, unelected, mincing princess.
Why should the Baroness resign?
This gang only make the laws, they should not be expected to abide by them.
Besides she has the backing of the ‘World Statesman of the year’, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
From me cell
So you wont vote for them then ?
Mark that one as a possible

When the cat’s away (in America, where all the problems started)…..
“Former home secretary [Charles Clarke] launches withering attack on Brown, telling the Prime Minister to quit or Labour will be condemned to at least a decade in opposition. “
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/6222102/Charles-Clarke-tells-Gordon-Brown-to-quit.html
“”I think his own dignity ought to look to that kind of solution,” said Mr Clarke ” (mooting Brown’s resigning).
Dignity?
Brown?
Our cat’s got a finer grasp of the concept of dignity than has the whole Labour rabble put together.
Cats are very dignified creatures.
Wise too. Our cat has taken up residence in the well of our desktop printer preventing me printing a letter to the district council accusing them of corruption.
Is your cat getting a backhander from the council, Susie?
“Labour will be condemned to at least a decade in opposition.”
That would be the case if all Labour MPs lynched the greaser upon his return with delay. else it’ll be at least 25 years i.e. whole generation-and-change) I reckon.
Time for the entire failed baby-boomer generation of spoiled, ladder-burning Marxoids to move over for THATCHER’S CHILDREN!
And we ain’t had our breakfast…
Those expecting to live off their own and other peoples childrens backs will have a short sharp shock..
How very strange that the Bunker Broadcasting Corporation doesn’t seem to be reporting this one!
You mean this one?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8270509.stm
Charles ‘Wingnut’ Clarke is a bitter man indeed.
Dignity? Whatever is the whining Clarke on about? Does he mean that mambers of new labour might boil him in oil, in public, if he doesn’t resign?
Like the average person being fined for not paying the congestion charge or a parking find?
Sixty/Eighty quid – cost her £5000 does that illustrate the pay difference between her and you and me? She will probably be entitled to charge it to her expenses.
I wonder if they’ll ever cash the cheque? They don’t usually. Look out for the photo opportunity of her waving the fine and saying “a cheque has been written”. Why so it has. Fools ‘em every time.
You see, The telegraph article which Guido has a link for in the right hand navigation ->
gives examples of solicitors being struck off or barred because they have broken the law up to 30 years previously. I believe Baroness Scotlandland was done for careless driving too. She ought to go, be barred and fined by the Bar. Thanks for making the complaint official;Sunlight Center.
Ivor, the story is not that they were struck off for motoring offences, but that they had not declared those offences (even though they were minor and historical).
Assuming the Bar know about her careless driving when younger then she’ll be okay on that score.
Still unfit to hold office for breaking the law she introduced though, no matter how minor she is making it out to be…
Oh OK Steve you’re right. Why not disregard law breaking, eh? Everyone breaks some law some time ‘cos there’s too fecking many not to. Which makes the case that laws are intended to be broken so the facists can fine us part of our wealth.
There are now so many laws that we all break several of them every day – so that whenever someone embarrasses The Party or does something to offend The Establishment, there is always something that can be used to hang them.
See the Great Repeal Bill, an idea dreamed up by those trying to reverse the creeping interference of the state over the past 20 years. I think it was first mentioned in Hannan and Carswell’s book The Plan, which is slowly but surely being adopted by Cameron…
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Great_Repeal_Bill
Steve – thanks for the link ;o)
I knew we had lots of stupid laws in this country, but was staggered by the number that need repealing.
Ta for being informative.
I confess! I didn’t practice archery last Sunday.
I’ll turn myself in.
So if the Bar Council do not, she is toast? Bet the Bar Council are checking the docs like crazy – nice easy non-political “get-out” for them – plenty of legal precedents to boot!
“Sorry ma’am, – you never told us learned folk that you had a certificate issued by the Fuzz which proved you incapable of driving a nail into a block of wood. So you are in the same position as all the losers we have struck off for the same reason. Nothing to do with the dodgy Au Pair.”
She might be forced to remove the grey wig that covers the black wig.
Is she still in a job?
Unbelievable.
It gives no credit to a Labour Government engulfed already in the scandal of wide embezzlement of MP expenses and the abominable neglect of our fighting men and women abroad to have a flagrantly criminal minister still in office.
That she’s Attorney-General is the apex of irony. But would Call Me Dave or Clegg have the honesty or generous spirit to dismiss a colleague, a friend, a woman, either, as nowadays all politicians seem haughty and autocratic.
I recall Dave’s model of a new Tory parliamentarian, Chloe Smith, vowing to be a more ‘One Nation’ Conservative than a Thatcher/Churchill anti-Socialist champion as that is to ‘divisive’. If so, God help the increasingly poor and harassed British middle-class, and prepare the eulogy for Magna Carta individual liberty.
We need to get the state out of Schools.
The first stage of their attack on OUR liberty was to stop telling us we had any.
Particularly when the ‘colleague’ has something ‘on’ them.
Abracadabra – zoonybedefra – umbrilsclelosybub !!!
Did the magic work?
Have they gone yet?
Of course.
The fact that everyone thinks they are still here is just another one of my brilliant illusions.
Old Holborn has a story that the silly woman has even awarded herself a fake medal to aggrandise heelf – worth a look.
A vain woman’s cry for help – and if possible, a Bildeberg invite.
makes sense, she got a gold medal in ’84. she is Tessa Sanderson isn’t she? Tessa’s looking shocking rough but she’ll still hurl a spear good.
Eff off Des – Tessa’s still one of the most attractive women in Britain you git.
Woman? I thought she was Caster Semenya’s biological father?
oh tuscan you have no appreciation for the statuesque ;o)
If true what more does this tell us about Tonga-Tonga’s judgment?
Her colleagues claim the QC is “astute” while Hatepersons praises her to the skies (say no more).
For Liebour its all one big love-in, hugs and kisses when you’re hurt (remember Mandlebum’s “love peter, love derek” correspondence with drippy draper?) and encircle the wagons against any who don’t belong to the great -pie-in-the-sky Socialist nightmare.
What a total disaster.
She’d have to go back to being a family law barrister if she resigned – a wonderful punishment.
The silly cow is taken in by her own drivel – like most barristers. What a marvellous irony that she should be the tenth child of a twelve child immigrant family from the Dominican Republic and be persecuting immigrants.
The offence she created is one of the increasingly popular ‘strict liability’ offences – there’s no defence that you did not intend to do it. It also tries to bypass the court, so anyone accused can be ‘fined’ by the ‘Border Agency’. In other words, like a lot of Nulab legislation, you are guilty unless you prove you’re innocent – that’s why she had to produce photocopies, and if she couldn’t they had her fair and square.
She deserves everything that’s coming to her. She’s stupid and venal and, at the least, she’s incompetent and it’s entirely right that she should be the one to suffer for such an unfair Act being passed.
In the name of God go! And take the rest of your hideous cronies with you.
I believe you only have a bantam under your kilt, Shorts.
Charles Clarke says JUST GO!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/6222102/Charles-Clarke-tells-Gordon-Brown-to-quit.html
…but he’s speaking to Brown. Expect the heat to be turned up on the Baronessie to deflect attention from Clarke’s wise words.
“Are we just going to stand by and watch the whole Labour ship crash on to the rocks of May 2010?” he asked.
No Clarkey. First we’re going to piss ourselves laughing, then we’re going to loot the corpses.
Good one Troughy. However, you owe me a mug of tea and a new keyboard…
Rather cheeky of Deripaska-Mandelson to be pointing a finger at the Baroness . All she is doing is working her butt off to keep me in champers and exotic dailies.
AS for you Guido, piss off.
PS Any chance of 5000 out of the vast loot you are making . The Baroness is saying she is in a “fine mess”.
71. Are you Baroness Scotland?
O?T but have a look at this picture of Mc Doom and that t.w.a.t Bonio.
Warning its pretty scary

They should get a room.
Not one for the firm, manly handshake, is he? Unless he’s greeting a woman….
Brown thought he was going to meet a Boner.
At Last, an end to Bono
Oh I do hope so – the curse of McDoom couldn’t happen to a nicer smug git ;o)
Bono been given a bonio??
Just finished with Bono, he’s nice
now just about to start a nice chat with that nice (although not as nice as AM) Simon Mayo on R5 shortly (1pm BST)
I’ll explain why I did not sack her.
For sale. One nuclear submarine.
One careful owner. Full service history. Complete with own warheads (never used).
No timewasters. No Libyans.
What do you mean no Libyans?
I would not be suprised if one of our Nuclear submarines was on offer to Gordon’s latest best friend….his only friend.
Sorry, typo. Should be No Librarians – can’t have nuclear deterrent in the hands of such power-mad extroverts.
Lol trinny – Larkin was a librarian, and possibly the maddest git in Hull ;o)
There’s a poem you should read – it was from the Whit Weddings collection and it’s called Homage to a Government – sums these Labour gits up perfectly.
We need it to transport pizzas.
Is that you Damo.I hope your not too jealous of me and Saint Bono.
DON’T forget its expenses: http://eotp.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/baroness-scotland-also-facing-questions-over-170000-in-parliamentary-expenses/
Nick Cleggs new catchphrase is “progressive austerity”, I kid you not. He mst be taking lessons from Gordon is putting a nice word next to a bad word and expecting those stupid citizens to fall for it.
Smart Poverty?
Intelligent taxation?
Wirral West MP Stephen Hesford has resigned his position as Government aide over Baroness Scotland’s refusal to stand down.
Hesford was PPS to the Law officers, and says in his letter of resignation that he: “cannot support the decision which allows her to remain in office.”
HT Tory Bear
Nothing on Pravda yet………
Nick Robinson has invented a slow form of communication using his toes and this delays political news.
Give him a chance: he has to worm his way out of the Brown hole of Calcutta, clean his glasses, empty his ears, wipe his fingers and get on the telephone to MiniTruth for a briefing on which Party Line to take.
He caught it from Preston who talks like a tortoise walks except with jerkier movements.
I meant that pest peston ofcourse.
’tis on Prada now Billy, but still nothing about Charles Clarke’s little outburst.
Mentioned on 1 o’clock news radio 4.
How is Toenails going to report on the car crash on Simon Mayo’s show?
will he say nothing?
Will he mention Call Me Dave’s alliance with some obscure Eastern European political party which is not signed up for multicultural alternative lifestyles?
will he report on the standing ovation for Thick Clegg?
Will he mention that the recording was unavailable due to technical difficulties?
Or will he just report on Brown receving his Saviour of The World Medal, fourth class?
And on the BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8270509.stm

The lady doth protest too much methinks
How quickly Mandy started spinning for Brown after dropping him firmly in the shite yesterday with his ‘sources’ leaks to the press about how not sacking Baroness Scotland was symptomatic of Brown’s weak leadership and dithering.
He’s slippery as an eel and probably lining something ‘big’ up to leak for the Labour Conference.
When Mandy is praising you most lavishly Gordon, that is precisely when you will feel the deadly dagger sliding and slipping up to it’s hilt between your shoulderblades.
Then is when you shudder to the ground to find all around you recreating act III scene 1 of Julius Caesar.
Et, tu Mandy ?
In this context is “deadly dagger” a euphemism for something a little more, ahem… organic?
think that should be eT, ‘TU TU’ when speaking of the leader of the house of slithering
So Gordon’s work is nearly done.
He has destroyed the economic powerhouse of this one great nation.
He has wiped out the indigenous population by flooding the land with immigrants, at the same time bringing the Church of England to its knees under a Muslim onslaught.
His final act of destruction is to destroy the Royal Navy and sink Britannia once and for all.
Then Gordon will make his exit.
“The crisis was “cooked up in trading rooms, where not just a few but many people earned annual bonuses equal to a lifetime’s earnings of some of those now suffering the consequences,” he said. “We cannot go back to business as usual and accept the risk that a similar crisis occurs again in ten or twenty years’ time,” he added. He blasted critics who wanted to ignore his concerns “as if the near-death experience of our financial system only 12 months ago had simply never occurred”. They, not he, were the real enemies of the City and the market economy, he said.”
Seems even the Head of the FSA is no longer willing to stay on Godarling’s ‘wisnae me it was them yanks’ message.
So sorry Lizard looks like the mighty engine of southern greed did itself in, Godarling’s mess up over HBOS just helped things along as did the Treasury’s feeding of goodies to Peston in attempts to shore up Gordarlings position of it wisnae them that caused it; honest!
PS: where I live in Scotland; Westminster/ EU Policy has just seen my local council being lambasted for not having a diversity officer to ensure equal rights for immigrants. Even though -as the council points out – there are not enough immigrants in its area to justify the post, it has a £30 million budget deficit, is cutting staff, services (due mainly to the previous Labour councils incompetence) and councillors know that to appoint such a person in the current conditions will mean their butts will be slung out in 2011 by their electorate.
What Ho – Westminster and Emperor Blair’s pals at the EU know best!
What really happened was that governments cooked up a credit bubble and taxed the effects.
They’re just blame shifting.
Remember REGULATORS decide on the volume of credit, banks allocate it.
The whole problem summed up succinctly.
Ouch AC1 – you’re right on the button as usual.
There’s an acquaintance of mine who was offered the job of running the FSA in 97 – he knew the scam (being a money laundering expert) and took early retirement instead.
Shopkeepers should never, ever be allowed to run banks.
Regulators don’t run the Banks or decide on suicidal leverage.
Let’s not get too silly.
The Banks Brown and the Regulators.
That’s the real ‘tripartite’ system of blame and everyone knows it.
note to reader: please discard every comment paragnostic and anticitizen post.
they are a pair of wankers.
end of note.
Gordon and Baroness Scotland have both been speaking very loudly, and actively canvassing, on their behalf.
In an effort to boost B&P poll ratings at the next election the Brown/Scotland combo have decided to keep her in post, and fine farmers £100 grand to offset her expenses.
Here’s Gorodn Brown singing about the B&P
Fuck off Mc Bride your no longer my Gimp.
No
Regardless of one’s opinion on immigration, for the highest officer of law in the land to break a law that she herself instigated, and not then be carted of to the gallows, is hoon-ness of the highest order

Dear
It is with considerable personal regret that I find myself writing to inform you of my decision to resign my positions as PPS to several ministers, principally the Solicitor General.
My decision comes about because as an aide to the Law Officers, whilst I have great personal regard for the Attorney General, I cannot support the decision which allows her to remain in office.
In my view the facts of the case do not matter. It is the principle which counts, particularly at a time when the publics’ trust of Whitehall is uncertain to say the least.
We have to be seen to be accountable.
http://blogs.news.sky.com/boultonandco/Post:65063da2-0773-4708-80c3-73c865b83824
Will William Hill’s be changing the odds?
Gordon Brown Statesman of the Year – you cannot be serious.
You’ve censored out the second half, naughty Genghiz.
In addition, could I just mention matters of policy where I believe leadership is vital.
On the constitution: We must legislate to offer a referendum on how we elect Members of the House of Commons. We must finish off reform of the House of Lords.
Generally, I would urge you to move as quickly as possible to withdraw from Afghanistan and to signal a change in our position over Trident replacement.
Finally, on the economy, the Government is to be congratulated upon its clear-sighted and effective response to the downturn.
You have my continued support in your resistance to David Cameron’s myopic and siren calls for an “Age of Austerity”.
My constituents benefit greatly from using our much-improved public services and they would not wish to see these jeopardised nor have our continued economic recovery put in doubt.
With best wishes
Yours sincerely
Stephen Hesford MP
C.c. Chief Whip
http://blogs.news.sky.com/boultonandco/Post:65063da2-0773-4708-80c3-73c865b83824
Does Hesford not do irony?
Funny how they are all topics of the day, but if the first paragraphs embarass McDoom then all is well.
Finally, on the economy, the Government is to be congratulated upon its clear-sighted and effective response to the downturn.
Response to the downturn? Same as their response to the ‘upturn’. Borrow fucking billions mate. Get that printed money out there.
That’s not a ‘response’ – that’s just more of the same. Lots more.
What an arsehole. Still if it puts pressure on the fragrant Pat and the Imbecile in Chief then who am I to grumble?
ResponsE to the economy? Would that be a trillion quid of debt and Zimbabwe/monopoly monetary policy?
Brown defending Scotland. “…stay in her pooost.”
Oh it’s a gift for the Tories.
Should have told Mayo to keep him talking while the men in white coats closed in.
Try using English next time C.U.N.T

Her PPS has just quit over the matter.
BBC BREAKING NEWS:
Labour MP Stephen Hesford quits as junior government aide over Baroness Scotland row
Broon the Hoon on R5L now carrying on the story about it being a minor breach of nothing very much..
Interesting parallels with the “Blears” moment at last year’s party conference!
Someone with backbone, or trying to save his seat (if we believe Clarke in the standard)

++++hesford , tongaland’s ppa just resigned – bbc wato says she has taken wrong decisions.
Can we have a “Libellous Limericks” thread on this one ?
there once was a fat baroness
who got herself into a mess
she wouldn’t resign
she wasted our time
if she died i couldn’t care less
There was a young lady from Tonga
Who wanted to stay a bit longa
A fat baroness
Said you can clean up my mess
But it cost her 5000 wonga
Only a minor official quits over Scotland. But as the TESCO advert goes:
‘Every little bit helps’
She “…may have emabarressed Governement…”
Note : “May”. But governement?
‘Ere Pat!
They must have known my Dad when they wrote this song. Him to a tee.
McDoom is on 5Dead right now. Questions form the public telling him he has got it wrong, not in tune with the public. McDoom must definitely be ill to allow this.
A tenner says that Mandy put him up to this one!
He’s not getting an easy ride at all, maybe someone thought the BBC would sort the questions but they have done nothing of the sort!!!!!!
Questions Smeschtions.
The Maximum Imbecile will simply ignore any question and get into his buzzword bingo.
‘Doing the right thing…’
‘That’s why we’re taking the tough decisions…’
‘Do nothing party…’
Why does anybody bother to listen to a word the jackass says?
It is all pure shit. The shit de tutti shit from start to finish.
Gordon Brown MP, Prime Minister
Radio 5 Live
Mr Brown urged people to “get a proper sense of perspective” over Baroness Scotland’s employment of an illegal.
“I just ask you to look at the perspective of this. Of course I will be tough on any wrong doing but in this case she did not knowingly employ someone illegally,” he said.
He added: “I take this very seriously indeed, but when you look at the facts of the case she has been misled by an employee who has give her wrong information.”
“I take this very seriously indeed, but when you look at the facts of the case she has been misled by an employee who has give her wrong information.”
Join the fucking club pal.
Classic Nu-Labour Defence – it wasn’a me, a big boy/girl did it and ran away.
Oh! Interesting, that was not her defence at all- misled by wrong information??
Did the Tongan forge docs in that case?
Or were there ever any at all? Either way the PM’s explanation demands further investigation and charges.
This may yet roll on into their conference. F.Delicious!
TBVP – Comment of the month for me! Most darkly chortlesome.
“I take this very seriously indeed, but when you look at the facts of the case she has been misled by an employee who has give her wrong information.”
Gordon has just prejudiced any future court case then
The Tongan burnt the photo-copies?
The laws the Attorney General herself wrote says take photo-copies of employment documents.
She did not.
She Broke the law.
She should be sacked.
Surely there’s a delay on the transmission on this interview – I can’t be the only person thinking about ringing in just to call him a cunt ?
She is a bloody pants on fire. There were no documents. How could there have been?
Oops apologies for repeating posts already made by others above..
Good for Stephen Hesford for resigning!
Three wheels on my wagon.
And I’m still rollin’ along…

No decorum here. If this gets through I shall be amazed. Ian Drury, so I’m told.
Plaistow Patricia
Arseholes, bastards, fucking Huhnes and pricks
Aerosol, the bricks
A lawless brat from a council flat – oh, oh
A little bit of this and a little bit of that – oh, oh
Dirty tricks
From the Mile End Road
To the match-stick Beacontree
Pulling strokes and taking liberties
She liked it best when she went up west – oh, oh
You can go to hell with your ‘well, well, well’ – oh, oh
Who said good things always come in threes?
Reds and yellows, purples, blues and greens
She turned the corner before she turned fifteen
She got into a mess on the NHS – oh, oh
It runs down your arms and settles in your palms – oh, oh
Keep your eyeballs white and keep your needle clean
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Her tits had dropped, her arse was getting spread
She lost some teeth, she nearly lost the thread
She did some smack with a Chinese chap – oh, oh, oh
An affair began with Charlie Chan – oh, oh
Well, that was just before she really lost her head
Now she owns a showroom down the Mile End Road
And her outer garments are the latest mode
There’s a Siamese cat in the council flat – oh, oh
The finest grains for my lady’s veins – oh, oh
And when it gets out of order, she goes away for a bit
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Ohh, go on, girl
So now we know.
We should stop commenting about the Baroness now that we have had the Paxman pronouncement
According to sneering ‘Germy ‘ , the affair “isn’t exactly Watergate is it ”
So everything less than a Watergate is OK
In that case Mandelson should have stayed in office despite mortgage fraud ;
Blunkett did nothing wrong; Jaqui Smith’s expenses fraud – trivial ; Margaret
Moron-only nurturing a relationship with a bloke who preferred to live 100 miles away from her ‘
I could give more examples but it isn’t necessary.
We should not be surprised by his milk sop view .
He broke down in tears when it was revealed that one of his ancestors had been punished for a lifestyle which was a prototype for the thousands of
amoral men and women today who have become such a burden on taxpayers
Gordon should go on the wireless more often. A radio set seems to be more brick proof than a TV and when it finally gives in the replacement cots are far less.
Does anyone know if Stephen Hesford found Gordon’s moral compass and then resigned?
No, he looked at his majority of just over 1000 and said ‘I’m OFF’.
Mayo just brought up the Charles Clarke call for him to go on the grounds of health.
Broon assuses us that he is fit and well and has a job to do, doing the right thing etc…
Broon assures us that he is fit and well too…
Did I just hear him saying he went for a run each day? As the interview went on his claims were more and more preposterous. He never saw the Treasury report… lots of reports are created… labour investments an tory cuts got another outing
If you listen again caaareefullyy he actually says “My health is a problem for me..”
I think what he meant to say was ‘my health is a personal matter for me..’ but that is not what came out of his mouth – interesting..
I heared that too as:
“My health is a problem for me……I keep going.”
Well stop then you silly c’unt!
Run where, around the garden, a running machine, no photos mean no run, is this another porker to make him sound a good chap? He just keeps making it up. By the day the situation declines to a point an intervention is required, someone some where needs to have that word, your time is up, I just can’t see anyone close to him able to do it. Next week should be interesting, can Labour keep the lid on?
No, he said he got the runs every day as he is deeply worried about the shitface of an economy he has created…..
I bet the little shit will claim disability benefits if he does go.
If Baroness Thunder Thighs was a member of this House, I would happily ban her for life. Tough on incompetence. Tough on troughers. Thats me. Bercow’s the name.
“A controversial broadband tax “will be law before the next election”, according to Minister for Digital Britain Stephen Timms.
The 50 pence a month tax applies to everyone with a fixed line telephone.
Speaking at a debate in London, Mr Timms said the tax will be presented to parliament as part of the Finance Bill.
But the Tory MP John Whittingdale said the tax, which could raise up to £175m a year to fund high speed networks, would be opposed by the Conservatives.”
******
Another tax, another law. How many are they going to push through before they go?
Surely not a good time for labour to be talking about laws….then again, maybe they are trying to take the heat of their dear friend Scotland.
Of course, another tax… But wait, what about all the people using Skype/VOIP? These freeloaders need to recognise that such provisions need to ensure future-proofing the broadband economy… Shouldn’t they also have a 50p/mo charge???
What utter incompetent, ignorant, arrogant and fukwitted imbeciles these guys are!
Get broadband, get skype as an alternative to phone, ditch phone, watch screen go blank.
If we reduce the number of MP’s and lords by approximately 100% would that help?
Baroness – just go!
As for Brown’s voracity – ha, ha, ha!!
Charles Clarke, ole jug ears himself, has it right on this one.
I assume you mean “veracity”. Or is Brown very, very hungry?
I am very hungry, now you mention it.
Yep, fair cop, veracity it should have been. (Now you can tell by my admission that I’m not a Labour Minister)
Wingnut is 100 to 1 as next leader on Paddy Power. Worth a punt IMO.
* Stephen Hesford Resigns*
Why is it that whenever anyone in Labour does something that requires a resignation someone else has to resign of their behalf?
When Scotland equated breaking immigration law with not paying the congestion charge, she was only half-right; it’s actually more on a par with refusing to pay the fine/charge even after you’ve been sent the notice. ie it’s an active/delibarate illegal act, not just an inadvertant error.
When passing the law, she specifically said that not taking copies was no different to not bothering to check the documents in the first place; it would be seen as not taking due dilligence, negligent to the point of actually trying to hire illegal workers, during all the debates she always equated not taking copies as being an actively/deliberate illegal act.
It’s a strict liability law; there is no “technicality” aspect to it; you’re either guilty of it or you’re not.
She did not “breach a technicality”, she deliberately broke the law.
There’s no way you can tell me that the person who actually created that law and who is in charge of policing it didn’t understand the most basic aspect of it which she told everyone else they had to do. It’s just not credible. It was deliberate; she was only “bitterly sorry” that she got found out, this was not a “mistake”, it was totally deliberate and done to save her a few quid.
The court should have seen that given her situation, it can only have been deliberate, and it should have led to an instant prison sentence and disbarring.
Couldn’t agree more!
The decision about the seriousness of the offense was taken by Lin Homer. Check her out on Wiki and follow up with her stay as CE of Birmingham council 2005 and the election problems. To say she is a bit of a Labour supporter is putting it mild.
No, it’s like I forgot to pay the charge.
G-the-P
I told you yesterday we all KNOW you are huge cock.
Haven’t you been removed yet?
Come on people, you’re missing a point.
“I take this very seriously indeed, but when you look at the facts of the case she has been misled by an employee who has give her wrong information.”
SHE DIDN’T CHECK ANY DOCUMENTS. She relied on “information” i.e. her word.
Goes like:
Goodmorning, you’re from Tonga then thats nice, and you’re married to an English solicitor. Thats fine. When can you start?
Job done …. Send her down…….
The Adam Smith Institute have just made the following point:
that an illegal immigrant would not have had the right documents in the first place for the Baroness to have seen, let alone copied.
She should go now, along with Brown.

Hat Tip: Red Rag for precidence
Bleeding obvious ain’t it? To me, you, my dog, the man down the pub and uncle Tom cobly. The only Twat in the Land who can’t see the obvious looking him in the face is Gordon Brown.
ah, but she could have had forgeries. Mind you, even that’d mean that the person in charge of immigration wouldn’t have known the difference between a forgery and a real document.
Slightly OT
Is it just me, or are other people noticing that there seems to be “something new every other day” re: the abomination that call themselves a government?
Isn’t it very reminiscent of the last days of the Major govt?
No in the last days of the Major government we had a bright future thanks to all that Mrs Thatcher had put right.
Dave is going to have to start all over again putting right all that Labour have done wrong and to be honnest I think he has a far harder task than Maggie had.
Are you serious?
The main problem to be sorted is the mess left by our inglorious bastard merchant banking fraternity, the rest is as chickenfeed.
Mrs T left it all shipshape did she? Don’t remember it that way.
Very nearly, the only teeny tiny difference is that Majors government didn’t completely fuck up our economy for the next 2 generations
Very true.
But being pedantic, I think you missed a “0″ off your post… shouldn’t it be “fuck up our economy for the next 20 generations”?
[...] :: Just Go [...]
I can’t help thinking that the Tories are not making nearly as much political capital out of this as they should.
Am I being cynical, or do you think it’s possible, that even as I type this, several members of the shadow cabinet’s homes are being cleaned by people with immigration papers of dubious worth?
I think you’re being cynicla, it’s just that the tories aren’t very capable of making political capital. I hink most of the contribuors to this blog would do a better job of asking Gordon a few questions every week.
I think a wise move to stand back, just let them self implode, the hard job will be picking up the sweeping up the mess. I am hoping DC has the team to clear up after this lot.
