UKBA Want to Know the Truth About the Missing Passport

Tongan PassportGuido has established that the passport found in the UK Border Agency raid on Lolo’s flat was expired long before Lolo got her job with Baroness Scotland.  There is quite simply no way that she could have used that passport to prove anything to the Baroness.  The UKBA raid found the documents as described in Lolo’s interview in the Mail on Sunday.

What does this mean?  It means that so far no evidence has been uncovered to support Patricia Scotland’s claim that she saw a valid passport – obviously if the passport existed and she had taken a copy of it she would  have been in the clear. Noticeably in the earliest comments briefed to the press there was no mention of a passport, “She hired Ms Tapui in good faith and saw documents which led her to believe that Ms Tapui was entitled to work in this country”. Later in the week when investigators from the UKBA interviewed the Attorney General informally, not under caution, she claimed to have seen a passport. That is her line with the press now.

The Sunday papers have all been spun the same line

A spokeswoman for Scotland said she had given the same details to the UK Border Agency when they interviewed her, adding: “They completely accepted our version of events.”

Privately UKBA investigators don’t entirely accept Lady Scotland’s version of events without reservation, which is why they have been trying, without success so far, to establish with the Tongan High Commission in London whether or not a second subsequent passport for Lolo had been issued.  As yet they have been unable to establish conclusively the truth of Lolo’s claim that she has never applied for a second passport.

Consider the implications: if, as Lolo claims, she did not have a second passport it would mean that for the Baroness to be telling the truth, Lolo would have had to presented her with a false forged passport.  Forged passports do not come cheap, demand from drug traffickers, terrorists and other criminals ensures that the black market in passports commands high prices.  How would a cleaner applying for a £6 per hour job afford to obtain a forged passport? If Lolo is telling the truth than the Baroness has possibly lied to investigators from the UK Border Agency.

target-baronessThe only alternative explanation which would support Lady Scotland’s story is that Lolo did in fact obtain a second passport from the Tongan High Commission in London or from the issuing authority in Tonga.  She could then feasibly have faked a permission to stay stamp in the passport.  The UKBA investigation is going to find out the truth this week.  If there is in fact no second passport (the raid of course did not find one) we will be expected to believe the assertions of the Attorney General, despite there being no evidence to support her assertions.  We will be expected to believe that Lolo had the ability, finances and motivation to obtain a forged passport merely to get a minimum wage cleaning job.  Does that make more sense than the reason the Baroness did not make a copy of the passport is that there simply wasn’t a passport to copy?

The Baroness better hope the Tongan authorities uncover a second passport application…

UPDATE : In the comments the question is posed as to why the UKBA determined and issued a fine so fast.  The simple answer is they were under tremendous political pressure.  The fine was half the maximum £10,000 because the Baroness had “cooperated”Summary justice in 36 hours is amazing.

            Christ, I mentioned this (here) when this whole sad sorry story came about.

            Why has it taken until now for people to realise, that “not a lady Scotland” said she definitely saw the documents but forgot to photocopy them.

            I say again, if she saw them then they existed and if they don’t exist then she lied.

          • Eddie says:

            If they existed why were they not at the home when it was raided?

            Why should the illegal worker take steps to hide the passport, but leave the other passport at home?

            Clearly the Baroness received preferential treatment. A businessman with a similar excuse, that employed somebody at below the market rate, would no doubt have been arrested and questioned under caution, pending the outcome of a proper investigation. After all, they may have committed the offence of knowingly employing the illegal worker and been at risk of a 2 year stretch.

            So if the Baroness was not interviewed under caution – why not. It is clearly one rule for them, and another for us.

      Attention to detail says:

      Either:
      1. Scotland did not look at any passport – and lied that she had
      2. Scotland looked at a pasport that was out of date and did not allow the cleaner to work in this country – so she is incompetent, or
      3. Scotland was shown a forged passport – unlikely given the context

      Which of these alternatives would allow her to sleep soundly?

        Indeed.

        Maybe Scotland really an expensive forged passport, the only reason someone like a cleaner would have one is if someone else with the resources (i.e. a foreign power) wanted the cleaner in place to spy.

        Either Scotland’s lying and never saw a passport, or she was playing fast and loose with national security.

        Exactly the point I made earlier – how come someone applying to work in the home of a Government Minister( let alone one such as the Attorney General who must by definition have confidential papers in her possession)be allowed to start work immediately following a job interview without positive vetting for security purposes ? In addition surely as part of that process there should be copies of the relevant documentation taken.Blow employment laws and whether the “tongan” was legally able to work in the UK – we’re talking about possible breaches of security or is there actually no vertting system in place for the vetting of employees of government ministers and that those employees(who apparently have been contacted off a “community web site” as someone looking for work and presumably haven’t actually been vetted by anyone at that moment in time) then have the run of the premises and presumabaly door keys to the property as well. In addition surely the Baroness should have heard alarm bells ringing if someone she’d never met,didn’t know and had doubtful identification then also suddenly agreed to work for £2 ph below the going rate – Christ almighty Lady Scotland is supposed to be the UK’s Chief Law Officer and seems to have fuck all security training or sense whatever other qualities she may possess.

        The Prime Minister in conjunction with the Cabinet secretary has responsibility for matters of national security and to my mind this matter has now exceeded the matter of an “overstayer” seeking work but rather the whole process of ensuring Ministers employ persons who are not possible terrorists or who could be a danger to them and the state. Brown should immediately contact Sir Gus O’Donnell and instigate a proper investigation

        We are supposedly at a heightened state of security or does THAT also only apply to we “plebs” and NOT Ministers of the Crown. ?

    The Enemy Class thinks it is now in the End-Game of tyranny-imposition. Its members believe – with much justification we must admit! – that they can bamboozle, obfucuscate, lie barefaced, and walk roughshod over even “their” own “laws”, although mentioning Law and GramscoFabiaNzis in the same sentence might be thought a bit oxymoronic.

    We hjave been too soft for too long on evil, wicked, very focused and clever epople who mean to destroy this civiisation and replace it with one consisting of a few thousand Lords brutalising millions of helots. Britain as I always maintain has been specially singled out for exemplary punishment.

    It’s no use talking glibly and humorously about lamp-posts and piano-wire – they know we’d not do that – at least not yet. We must begin to be publicly hard on these people, and lay out what their (living) future would be under a llibertarian polity.

    We must state what we’d do with their departments, their pensions, and their hard disks.

      David, I agree with you. They don’t take any notice. Example-Iraq war demonstrations, etc. International signees to war crimes law don’t press for war crimes: Refusal of entry to countries, arrest, etc. They know that the ultimate leaders are bankers-not politicians. They can get away with it. Up until now there was no possibility that minority, decent politicians could be elected in any number. This has changed and we must vote according to concience at the next GE. It is our last chance saloon to get the government and leadership we deserve. My biggest concern is that the Irish vote NO and that means we ebnd up with the Tories again. Same old same old. If the Irish vote Yes, then UKIP, etc could have a meaningful leverage at the next election on our future.

      Atlas shrugged says:

      Libertarians make up the majority. However libertarians are as divided between all political parties, as they can possibly get. Libertarianism is not a dogma or an ideology, it is a generalized way of thinking. Which is the main reason why I am generally happy to describe myself as a conservative leaning Libertarian.

      However libertarianism was conceived, and is still being subverted, and financed by the exact same groups of people, that did, and are still doing the exact same things with conservatism, liberalism and socialism.

      These people own all the clubs, players, referees, leagues, and write the rule book.

      Which is why they are so wonderfully accurate at predicting the result of the match, and making several perfectly vast fortunes, being able to do so.

      The really clever bit is, without the fans, the referees, the players or the club chairman, knowing the full facts of the case. Which although not easy, is much easier then at first it may seem.

      It is hard enough trying to get even one person to admit they have been a simply minded cretin all of their adult life, and not the socio-economic-political guru that they always believed they were. The rest don’t care, as they lost faith before even knowing what faith means, or know bugger all anyway. Therefore trying to convert a majority of a dialectically aliened politically active population to their collective true reality, even given the power of the internet, and a close to an infinite amount of time, is effectively IMPOSSIBLE.

      Fully overcoming a lifetimes worth of brainwashing, usually takes long bouts of one-to-one type professional help. Why would any still sane person want to put themselves through a mental breakdown simply for the truth? Much better to just keep turning up to the fixed match, week after week, pathetically waving the old teams incredibly overpriced, and constantly changing colours. In the usually vain hope of winning a piece of silverware, that they will never be allowed to so much as lay a finger on.

      If it is not on the 9 O’clock, it may very well have happened, but it might as well NOT have done, for all that the establishment plans on doing about it. Which by well observed experience, will be an absolute ZERO.

      He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future. But if he, and his clients also utterly controls all ends of the mass media, one way or another. Then quite frankly, we are all down SS type Shit Ally, without so much as a Batman or Robin in sight.

      Where are the Super-Heroes when you really need one? Silly question really, because as I hope we all know by now, not only has Santa not ever existed, neither have Super-Heroes.

      The important thing to remember is that the people who are currently controlling just about everything of consequence, have been doing so for a substantial amount of decades before any of our grandparents were conceived.

        That’s a very important question for the Baroness to answer: ‘Was the passport you saw Tongan?’ I imagine it would be very difficult to get a forged Tongan passport, compared to a forged British one which would carry with it implicit right to work in the UK (and not require any visa stamps from the Immigration & Nationality Directorate).

          I’d have thought someone like The Attorney General would have had someone inspect the document properly though..she has the means, unlike others……. who would cop for the full 10 grand

          nell, to be clear

          - I think it it extremely unlikely that there would be a forged Tongan passport available in London

          - she either has a valid replacement passport (which she denies) or an expired proper Tongan passport

          - I just don’t believe the A-G saw ANY passport

          - so it is my belief that she is lying and that the Prime Minister knows it, but has decided (for whatever reason) to tough it out – regardles sof the damage it will do him and his party.

What I’ve never seem (or heard of) is a false Tongan passport. Assuming that the baronness really did say she had met the Tongan attorney general, then she must have known she was Tongan, no other passport would do.

        The issue now is one of whether the Attorney General deliberately lied to the UKBA. She should have been sacked for breaking the law which she helped ram through the Lords, but if there is no second passport (which clearly it seems there is not), then Baroness Scotland is guilty of lying to officialdom, pure and simple! She should not be in office now, but she cannot possibly remain in office if demonstrated to have lied like that.

        Yes, I know Brown tells porkies all the time, but there is a difference between a politician lying to the media and an attorney general lying to officials from the UKBA to save her job!

      So a Tongan passport doesn’t last more than five years or is the stamp that ran out? This cleaner was here five years and she got the passport and money to travel to UK from her family in Tonga. Five years ago. So the passport hasn’t run out unless it does after five years-right? However; if it does run oout after five years and the tongan embassy say she did aapply for another one then they will have a recent passport photo to accompany the application. So it can’t be forged presumably?

        Hmmm. She may have had a ten year passport issued while in Tonga. And that passport may have already been in her possession for five years before she applied for a visa. That gets rid of your first premise. And the second, that a passport/visa stamp cannot be forged is false too.

            In which case it wouldn’t be a forgery it would be a genuine issue. I fail to see your point. Are you implying a sovereign nation would issue a Tongan passport to get the UK governmemt out of a hole? To be honest it wouldn’t surprise me but I think it unlikely. It would imply that the Foreign Office leant on the government of Tonga which for me is getting into tin foil hat territory.

            It wasn’t her passport, it was the student visa which had run out — she then paid a Russian (?) £180 who said he could get around the hold up with the HO — she assumed he’d cut through red tape, but actually he’d got a a forges visa for her — which had also run out by the time she was interviewed by Scotland.

    The Tongan Passport might become a side issue, as pressure could always be brought to bear to say that there was one, perhaps bribes with Aid etc. The Home office itself, however, would have documentation relevant to this lady, so where’s that then, or was that a supposed forgery like the Tongan Passport.

    Bit of a leap you’re making. Lola wouldn’t have bought a forged passport to get a job as a cleaner, she’d have bought it to remain in the country. And that would be a price worth paying. And her husband may not be short of a few quid. Seems perfectly feasible to me that she did have a forged passport which she showed to her employer, and now the shit’s hit the fan she’s disposed of it sharpish. There are, I believe, repurcussions if found in possession of a forged passport which wouldn’t help her remain in UK.

    I’d still rather believe Lady Scotland’s a liar. But case isn’t proven by a long way. But the fact that she took no records probably means she’s stuffed anyway. Which considering her position, she deserves to be.

      As has already been said , even though her Tongan passport had expired she was legitimately able to apply to the London Tongan High Commision for a renewal. No problem. So why would she seek a forged one? That doesn’t make sense.

      The interesting this is the Tongan High Commission is chosing not to say whether she did in fact seek a renewal passport which suggests that they, as well as the UKBA, are being pressured by this government to join the whitewash brigade in support of Baroness Scotland.

      We shall see. But my old mum has a saying ‘ the truth will out’ and I think gordon and the dodgy baroness are sweating on this one.

        Once again, ill informed speculation. You simply don’t know that. It is possible that the visa was issued with conditions. Often student visas include a proviso that the holder must return to the home county for a period of two years after completion of studies, for example. The idea is that the person takes the skills learned home which benefits the home country. Additionally, there could exist other conditions of which we are unaware.

        ‘The interesting this is the Tongan High Commission is chosing not to say whether she did in fact seek a renewal passport which suggests that they, as well as the UKBA, are being pressured by this government to join the whitewash brigade in support of Baroness Scotland.’

        Again, breathtakingly ingnorant. It “suggests” nothing of the sort. What do you know about the Tongan High Commission and its policies towards press enquiries about the circumstances of citizen applications? It is standard procedure for commissions and embassies NOT to comment on document applications made by individuals.

    Were Lolo to have forged a “stamp” in her passport, this would have been far more difficult than it used to be. Stamps allowing leave to remain, and permission to work, are complex printed labels, with the passport-holder’s photo, that are stuck in the passport by UKBA. They are not an ink stamp and are as difficult to forge as a bank note.

          I don’t believe either of them, but in the grand scheme of things the cleaner is already by definition a law breaker who has possibly practiced deception. The AG may very well be lying, but at the moment pending production of a valid passport it is the word of the AG vs the word of an overstayer. The man on the Clapham omnibus you would assume would tend to give more credence to the word of the UK Governments highest legal officer against someone who flouted UK law. Or at least they would have prior to 1997.

            The motive is irrelevant. She has already broken the law so in the eyes of most people would be considered untrustworthy. Besides she is going to get the kind of wedge from the papers that would guarantee her a life of luxury in Tonga. Why should she care about what is truth and what isn’t? The papers just want a story, they don’t give a monkeys if it’s true or it isn’t. Either way they sell lots of papers. In any event proving that Scotland knowingly employed someone she knew to be an illegal immigrant is next to impossible, hence the UKBA took the easy way out with a civil penalty.

      As I mention above the AG is lawfully resident in the UK and occupies a position of trust. The cleaner has been to to go back to Tonga and has carried on living in the UK illegally. So yes, unless evidence is produced to contradict the AG’s statement most law enforcement agencies would tend to give more credence to the word of a state employ against that of someone who flouts the law. This story is going to run and run. There are plenty more skeletons in the cuboard. My view is that the UKBA were put under huge pressure from Broon to issue a civil penalty and brush the crap under the carpet. Otherwise you are looking at a criminal investigation and ultimately to convict Scotland of knowingly employing an illegal immigrant would be very difficult.

          You need to look at how things work in the real world. I think the AG has been caught out lying. However she has paid a civil penalty so that is the end of it as far as she and the UKBA are concerned. If however you believe she knowingly employed someone who had no right to remain in the UK you need to provide some evidence. Proving this is a case of one persons word against another. On the one hand you have the word of the highest legal officer in the land vs the word of an illegal immigrant who allegedly has a forged visa in her passport. It’s a non starter.

          • Obama is a twat says:

            So what you are saying is that as long as you don’t photocopy the papers are are ‘supposed’ to see you can get off with a much smaller fine?

            I don’t see how they can get fined any more than this fucking bitch.

    If the Baroness was impatient to find a cleaner immediately – the circs of the engagement suggest that she was – she’d be unlikely to make any further requests.
    Presumably (if a P45 was issued) a previous employer had also been at fault?

Why didn’t she get another forgery to help her stay because actually fake ID is plentiful and cheap? I think the Russian neighbour ripped her off. Ask any 16 year old who wants to get into a bar.

    The borders are porous and no one much cares once you are in. Those are the facts. ZaNuLab’s 3,906 new laws have not helped, they have hindered. That is why no one really keeps on top of them, including the police.

    That is also why there is a queue at Calais trying to get in. Forget the Borders Agency, they’ve been told to back off already. I would go the HMRC route; if the baroness was so keen to get cheap labour in what’s the betting she found the time to set up a legit PAYE system to sort out the tax and National Insurance?

    At the end of the “interview” with the Tongan she was told to start immediately ie that day. Mmm…surely the ZaNuLab aristocracy wouldn’t be paying this lady in cash ie no questions asked?

    FFS, if those that live by those laws have to “do the time” when they’ve done the crime, the law-makers have no reason to be treated differently, except they do expect a lesser penalty, as they are “too honourable and honest” to deliberately break the law. History may have “allowed” that in the past, but the IT age has changed that.

    Their instincts are rooted in the past, but their actions can never return to those practices, and it is these ideals that constantly trip them up. The people never had them, its black and white, right or wrong. These morons in high office don’t do black or white, only the 3 million shades of grey in-between.

    She actually wrote a good set of rules to enforce these laws, the common man accept them, its about time she did.

    Rip Van Winkle says:

    If I remember, Scotland (and the Tongan) said she provided a P45 to Scotland from a previous employer. So the P45 is available. And on the P45 will be the name and address of her previous employer. Is it not possible to track back to this previous employer and see what documents they had on file when she started her employ? Were they in the clear in terms of illegal immigrant employment requirements or did they have ‘dodgy’ papers? Or any documenst at all?

    I’m surprised ZaNu Labour apparatchiks aren’t doing there best to fine someone else another £5k. Or would that be 10?

      Deadcat O'Bunce says:

      A good line of enquiry. But if the trackback revealed that Miss Tonga was consistently presenting the same sort of documents every time she went for a job, the reasonable inference would be that she presented the same to Miss Scotland, and that could make Miss Scotland look rather worse than she’s looking right now.

      Some persistent journo should ask the Authorities if this trackback is being done? Maybe catch a few more liebore liars out in the process.

      Labour go on about exploitation of the working class and the need to improve matters, think “living wage” not minimum wage. Yet when it comes to paying for cleaning with the going rate at £9/hr and this being probably put on expenses we find that rather than pay say £9.50 she pays £6?

      Could this be due to the fact that rather than get expenses, she go a daily rate thus every pond saved was a pound for Baroness Scotland? Thus showing that when it’s someone else’s money they are generous, BUT when it’s their own they grow very deep pockets and their arms shrink.

There are some other reasons but none of the small number that I can think off that would ever apply to this lady.

    Secondly the UKBA can check very quickly if a second passport is held. I would wager they already know it is not and the delay is trying to figure out what to do about it.

    Its simple. The Hooness has been caught out totally. She continues to maintain she saw a passport if she did then it was expired and a fine was quickly levied to cover up the oversight. The decision now is do they prolong the cover up or call it quits and force he out.

    The Hooness will hang on for grim death until shame finally forces her from office but they know no shame so it may be a while.

    Baroness Scotland has been literally laying down the law, but picking and choosing only the ones that she wants to follow.

    Many undocumented people in the UK are currently receiving health care, education, housing and in some cases, prison cells. Funded by you and I of course. It places a tremendous burden on everyone. Being charitable with other peoples money is unfair to everyone.

    Any religious or political leader that would dismiss my comments as xenophobic (or more likely, racist) should put their money where their mouths are and look after these people themselves.

      The asylum system is now a scam for illegal immigrants. The HRA is a scam for superannuated leftie lawyers and a recipe for judge made law. The ECHR is a face which must be abolished. In the meantime, because the locals are getting restive about all the illegal aliens in their midst, ZaNuLabour passes a law to punish employers for hiring illegal migrants and then to cap it all, their attorney general breaks said law and is still in place.

That seems to be her whole defence which quite frankly would not be acceptable in any court in the land, other that is in a Labour convened kangeroo court.

    Tapui was on a very low wage, had not had problems gaining work, and had seemingly no desire to leave the UK. Why would she have renewed her passport, when all it could do would be to provide evidence of her illegal status?

    This stinks of attempted cover-up and I think it would be fair to say it is tantamount to a very busy and important lady accidentally saying that she actually paid the Congestion Charge, when, in fact, she had not.

    The Sun meanwhile has reported today that BS has called the police to her Chiswick home because she was “unable to find a large number of items”.

    Anonymous says:

    A few threads still flapping around. Start with the question of why would BS be so casual in employing this poor woman?

    One, what is the importance of BS saying she paid £8 an hour and the cleaner saying it was £6? Sadly BS’s expenses are not online. She apparently works at home one day a week so I suspect the taxpayer is being billed, could the taxpayer have been invoiced for this service at a rate greater than an the underpaid cleaner was remunerated? If you could make a profit out of exploiting a cleaner then it might make you less likely to fuss about the employment details, the weaker the cleaners employment record the bigger the possible profit margin..

    Two, If we ignore the potential profit above, look at the significance of the fine, £5k. Cleaner employed for six months, local rate for the job £8, payment only £6, a saving of £2 an hour. If the cleaning was a full time job then about 1000 hours have been worked, a £2k saving, the fine is nicely cushioned by the cleaner’s salary saving.

    Three, BS works from home part time. Presumably there is some form of clearance required for staff, CRB checks etc, no doubt this was assisted by the Tongan High Commission and is all on record.

    Four, the security issue is rather wider than her role as Attorney General. BS has another serious responsibility that is little mentioned. She is a Privy Councillor and they have certain standards to maintain. The Privy Council oath includes things like “and will keep secret all Matters committed and revealed unto you,” breaking this oath would appear to be treason, I imagine Privy Councillors take security seriously an understand the behaviour required of them. Twelve years ago one had to resign when his attempt to sue a broadcaster came apart, it was two years later Aitken found himself at the receiving end of the law for Perjury.

    I don’t think the issue is as simple as having to prove BS was legally at fault, she has probably already suffered sufficient damage below the waterline to make her future problematic. Like Aitken it will be expected that she jumps before she drags her responsibilities much further through the mud.

    Operation DumpBrown says:

    And Labour rebels are again smelling blood. Asked about suggestions that Brown might quit for “health reasons”, Charles Clarke, the former home secretary, said: “I think his own dignity ought to look to that kind of solution.”

    The Labour-supporting Guardian joined in the Brown-baiting. Polly Toynbee, the newspaper’s star columnist, yesterday went so far as to pen a spoof resignation speech for the prime minister.

    The latest opinion polls suggest that Labour is haemorrhaging support. A YouGov poll yesterday found that 54% of voters wanted Brown to quit as Labour leader. The Tories, on 39%, remain 13 points ahead of Labour on 26%, with the Liberal Democrats on 20%. A poll earlier in the week had shown that Labour was even losing support in its northern heartlands, with an 11.5% swing to the Tories since 2005.

    With a Conservative landslide looking increasingly inevitable, Brown no longer appears entirely sure he will still be PM when the general election happens next year. “I’m pretty determined and resolute,” was about as far he would go when the New Statesman asked him about his survival odds.

    Certainly, the bookmakers have little faith. William Hill is offering almost even money — 5-4 — for punters wanting to bet that Brown will be out before the election.

    A new BPIX poll conducted by The Mail on Sunday will make sober reading for Mr Brown as he prepares for the Labour Party conference in Brighton this week. Damagingly for Mr Brown, his performance is seen as worse than that of Neil Kinnock, who lost two General Elections.

    A third of those polled – 32 per cent – said Mr Brown was better than Mr Kinnock, but 40 per cent said he was worse.

    The poll puts the Conservatives a massive 15 points ahead of Labour, enough to put Mr Cameron into No10 with a big Commons majority.

    A judge described the council as having “thrown the rule book out of the window” the council Lin Homer was CE of.

    BBC 10 o clock news….just after the big plug for snotty, news of germany’s vote.

    The commentator kept saying that “they have chosen to move away from the left of centre parties to the centre right”……left of centre..that wouldn’t be socialists, by any chance? The name that cannot be spoken, in case it reminds us of what is going to happen to labour in the next GE?

      Obama is a Twat says:

      The other night the BBC were saying that Angela Merkel was the first leader to be re-elected in the recession and that she had concentrated on the economy and was a no nonsense politician.

      For a second anyone would have thought the BBC were really talking about McCoward

      Having said that, I really wonder if Marr wasn’t trying to push McGay over the edge today hoping (like all at the BBC) that if he goes now someone might come along who can beat the Tories. Fat chance beeboids, the Tories are going to take a fucking sword to you lot next year you leftie bastards.

      • 427
        Ratsniffer says:

        I’d like to believe that theory, however, like some other posters I am convinced that Marr’s line of questioning was pre-agreed, and worded very carefully. The BBC tongue remains firmly wedged between the labour bum cheeks, and will only be prized away if it is sliced off by an incoming tory administration…one can but hope.

        Just imagine for a moment moves on the license fee,it would get massive public support and the tories know it,the BBBrown should be afraid very afraid.

          I believe it’s one of the B & P’s policies to scrap it as well. Which means Labour and the beeb are in for a shafting sooner or later if the B & P keep stealing their voting base.

          Of course they’ll make a deal with the Tory ”devil” (in their eyes of course) to save themselves somehow than face the B & P wolves shutting them down.

    “Things that don’t add up concerning Baroness Scotland, the UKBA and Loloahi Tapui:

    1) Scotland claims she saw a passport with appropriate visa, but did not keep a copy.
    2) Loloahi Tapui’s flat was raided, but it is now claimed that she has gone on the run.
    3) The UKBA claim that the passport was tampered with.
    4) Has anyone seen a copy of the passport that the UKBA claim to seen?
    5) Has the UKBA actually interviewed Loloahi Tapui?
    6) If the UKBA has not seen the ‘forged’ documents or interviewed Loloahi Tapui how can they have reached the conclusion that Baroness Scotland in only guilty of a ‘technical’ breach of the law?

    It seems to me that there are still very many unanswered questions around this scandal. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I suspect:

    1) Baroness Scotland either never checked any documentation, or knowingly employed an illegal immigrant.
    2) Loloahi Tapui is actually been kept in hiding by officials of either the Labour Party or government.”

    Why did Marr ask Brown if he is addicted to painkillers?

    It is tranquilisers (diazepam) that Brown is addicted to, as Adam Boulton correctly alluded to on Sky News this afternoon.

  129. 410

    As the noble Baroness appears to have paying the Tongan(?) lady close to minimum wage, some £2 per hour cheaper than the previous arrangement, there must have been a nod-and-a-wink understanding of some kind.

    If the alleged “proper” passport doesn’t turn up, Scotland is out of the game, just like her namesake nation. There is a clear dispute of fact, there is no evidence to substantiate dear Patricia’s claim, and she just happens to be Attorney General.

    If Brown had sacked her last week, none of this would have happened….

    Labour spin doctors have erupted in fury over Andrew Marr’s question to gordon as to whether he is taking powerful anti-depressants.

    Well in truth he didn’t say that – he substituted the unacceptable ‘ antidepressant’ word with the less offensive expression ‘painkiller’.

    Why is the BBC always such a lapdog to labour??

    Why, Andrew Marr .didn’t you have te courage to ask the right question? And then to stick to it until you got a proper answer?

    Brown’s speech this afternoon was delivered to a half empty hall. Disillusionment and apathy is rife in Labour right now, along with a massive and angry whispering campaign against Brown.

    There’s also serious rumours of a big (ministerial) resignation before the end of this week.

    I’ve just realised a basic truth. Working has limited appeal when it’s legal. And not just because paying tax would be a dead giveaway. You have to be illegal to get that buzz. Always looking over your shoulder. Fantasizing about being followed or spied on. Cops trying to wrong foot you. Wrong number phone calls. Dodgy looking postmen and meter-readers. Ducking and diving. Never taking a day off, working every hour God sent.
    Bit like driving with no insurance, current MOT, V5C, road fund licence, driving licence… You’re the most careful driver on the road.
    “So these feelings of paranoia that you are experiencing. Tell me about them. When did they begin?”

    What I find amazing is why did the Tongan, if illegal, think it wise to apply to work for AG when anyone would have thought (mistakenly as it happens) that they would be checked by the security services & subsequently found out to be illegal

    The answer is either they were checked out & it was ignored OR the job was given on a nod & a wink & paid cash in hand thereby avoiding tax, stamps AND scrutiny

    cato the uncensor says:

    John Profumo resigned for lying in the House of Commons and never was in a Government again.

    Is it conceivable that the Attourney-General would lie? Politicians seem to lie on a regular basis now but for the leading law maker to do so would be a betrayal of this country’s entire moral apparatus.

    They called for Cato when things got bad in Rome. Maybe time for a new Censor to be elected. Peter Mandelson need not apply.
