Dolly Delves Deeper

In what is becoming an increasingly common sight, Guido hears Derek Draper was again out last night on the Westminster scene. Co-conspirators report he was mingling at the ComRes and Apex Communications party, though the pollsters were quick to put the word around that it was the spinmeisters who had invited him. Jack Straw made a concerted effort not to bump in to him as he was working the room. Vincent Moss [pictured] of the Sunday Mirror was less discerning. Disappointingly Derek promises he is not planning a comeback, but did mention he still avidly swings by here for a read “as one does.”

He apparently won’t be publicly backing a leadership candidate “for their sake”.

    Why the fuss over BP lobbying for release of Lockerbie bomber – surely all multinationals engage in lobbying to improve their prospects – their shareholders (including the ~ 50% in the US) expect it. It then comes down to whether the UK decided it was in its interests – I think releasing one prisoner (whether terminally ill or not he is no longer a danger) to protect our oil interests is a whole lot more legitimate than the yanks instigating wars throughout the middle east to guarantee their own supplies. DC should stand up to Obama – show him we are not in awe of the US – they are loathed throughout most of world and need us as allies as much as we need them – indeed special relationship only works when it suits them (remember luke warm support over Falklands whilst we continue to send troops to die for their wars)

      the yanks have conveniently forgotten they are doing the same thing says:

      McCain reported via Twitter, the instant internet messaging site, that he had met Gadaffi, whom he described as “an interesting man”. McCain was reported by the Libyan news agency to have praised Gadaffi’s peace-making efforts in Africa and to have called for expanded US ties with Libya. Exxon and Chevron, the American oil giants, are among companies vying for lucrative new exploration contracts.

      Robert Mueller, the head of the FBI, said Megrahi’s release “rewards a terrorist”. Nevertheless, diplomatic sources said Washington expected Gadaffi to pay his first visit to America for the UN general assembly.

        It would not surprise me if BP oil leak was caused by sabotage by other US oil companies – its the sort of underhand trick they would pull to gain advantage and transfer blame and attention away from themselves. Yanks still dont seem to get it that US is equally if not more to blame for this disaster

          Groucho says:

          The facts that the rig was american and the faulty equipment that caused the leak was built by Halliburton (american) seems to have escaped the attention of the US media.

          As has the fact that BP is roughly equally UK/US owned and that it was the ecomentalists who insisted that oil drilling is done in deep water with all the problems that entails – anywhere as long as its not their back yard.

          Any yanks feeling self righteous should take a look at the Bhopal disgrace, or what US oil companies have done to the Niger delta.

      Mr Ned says:

      The yanks are making fools of themselves if they do not realise:
      (A) Cameron was not in power when the decision to release Al Megrahi was taken,
      (B) Cameron has no say over the jurisdiction of Scottish criminal court decisions.
      (C) Cameron has no say over Libyan citizens in Libya
      (D) The American intelligence services preferred that the Scottish release Al Megrahi on trumped up medical grounds, rather than the evidence proving his innocence be placed before a public court in Scotland.

      Releasing him was NOT wrong… The way in which he was released was wrong. He should have been allowed to have his appeal heard in court and then receive a full pardon as an innocent man.

      The powers that be would would have found that far too inconvenient.

        phony war says:

        I wonder if Obama really does want to get the documentation leading up to Megrahi’s repatriation released?
        as it would confirm that, far from being outraged, the Americans were fine with the release as long as it didn’t use Blair’s rushed Prisoner Transfer Arrangement which they despised

        The 4 senators seem to be about as bright as a Toc-H lamp at 2 o’clock in the morning. They seem to be totally lacking in any research into the matter. If they had done any homework, other than seeing yet another ‘Let’s bash the British’ opportunity, they might have realised that there has been a change of government and that they were asking the wrong questions of the wrong man.

        It tells you all you need to know about how the US is ‘governed’!

    Judging by the pic in the papers this morning of the tethered weather balloon that is Mrs Draper one imagines the delving would need to be of the very deepest sort.

      Sir William Waad says:

      I deplore the ungentlemanly intercourse that takes place on this blog. One may criticise a woman who is in the public eye for her actions and opinions, or even for her dress on an important occasion, but this talk of ‘weather balloons’ and fumigation demeans us more than her. I would not tolerate that sort of talk amongst my servants and I urge commenters to desist.

          I wanted to commend you for your high standard of posting on ‘Ring-fenced Democracy’ yesterday. It was a tour-de-force.

          Unfortunately, I was working so came late to it. Did leave a comment, which you may not have seen, hence this post.

        My comment was a little bit rude.

        I shall endeavour to engage my brain before my fingers hit the keys.

        I mis-spoke Sir WW: when I said “weather balloon” I actually meant “weather girl”.

        I shall ask for 50 lashes of the tawse from the peasant this evening instead of the usual 100, as self-denial punishment.

    YouGov has Lib Dems on 14% says:

    The overnight YouGov figures for the Sun had voting intentions of CON 43%, LAB 35%, LDEM 14%(!). The changes are well within the margin of error of the recent levels of support that the parties have been showing and it is the sort of figure we’d expect to pop up occassionally with the Lib Dems floating around 15% in recent polls, but it’s worth recording that this is the Liberal Democrats lowest level of support since well before the general election. On a uniform swing it would reduce them to a rather sorry 16 seats.

      It’s all part of the Great British Public’s master plan and good for the stability of the government. The public like the coalition and don’t want the LibDems to feel they have anywhere to go or any incentive to pull the rug on it.

    Draper seems to want Guido to do him again. I think it’s a deep rooted desire for a slapping. Surely there is more shit that you can find on him. Wouldn’t it be grate if started cheating on his wife and you found out!

    Wait until my Book comes out! This Book of mine – which I call ‘My Book’ – has been written by me. I wrote it and it is My Book. The Words in this Book were selected by me and put in Order by me and the Content of the Book is my Creation. When people read My Book they will realise that I was right about Everything and that I saved the World and the Banks and the Polar Bears but Nobody was loyal to me except my Wife whose name escapes me not even Ed so-called Balls who owes Everything to me. They will realise that they were wrong to vote against me and will be Sorry. But if they invite me back even if they Plead and Beg on Bended Knee I will say “No!. It is too late!” Read my Book (which I wrote) and follow my Precepts and you can yet be Saved!!!
