Lobbyists Still Bending Access Rules
Parliament has finally got round to publishing the list of pass-holders and their various sponsors. Tory Mark Garnier has given one to the nice lady who organises his dining society. For his life Guido can not work out why Labour’s Anne McGuire would need to give unfettered access to a US Embassy ‘Political Analyst’. Sounds very spooky…
Matthew Ball is a lobbyist, and a not bad one at that. He’s the director of the Westminster Bridge Partnership. They lobby on behalf of the Co-Operative group mainly. How nice then of Andy Love, a Co-Op MP, to give him a pass. All day Ball can wander around Parliament pressing flesh on behalf of his clients, keeping it all in the Co-Op family.
Guido is bemused at how, despite clear guidelines on lobbyists being in Parliament, the rules can be broken so blatantly. How about Rosemary Hadow who works for the Lighting Industry Federation, representing a niche but lucrative industry. Conveniently she does a bit of work for the All-Party Parliamentary Lighting Group and hey presto she can have a pass from Tony Baldry. Perfect for spreading the word about the fight against compulsory maximum wattages on light bulbs and other campaigns over drinks on the Terrace eh?
And what about those forgotten lobbyists, pushing for the special interests of a minority. Well seventeen Labour MPs have given a parliamentary pass to trade union political officers, with no fewer than five for Unite. The list is long – could co-conspirators help crowd source the cross referencing of lobbyists and passholders. Have a look through the list yourself and email Guido with any names you might recognise or that stick out…
OMG !!!
Who cares , FFS ???
The day these shits start infrigin on MY life is the day I’ll givva toss , darlin .
E x .
infingin an all that
infringin ??
Any of them from Capita, KPMG or Pricewaterhouse Coopers ?
Since we know they bunged the Tories over 2 Million in donations and Porker Pickles is rewarding them with the private contracts to audit councils.
And the same companies didn’t suborn Liebour in the same way at all, did they – just ask Patricia Hewitt!
Hasn’t Patsie got lots of lucrative directorships from grateful corporations these days? How very socialist of her.
If at first you don’t succeed…..pack it in and go to the pub instead.
Mine’s a Guinness, thanks.
Mine’s a £2 Million donation to the Conservatives rewarded with a sleazy contract.
Are their Lobbyists in there since they sleazed over £2 Million to the Conservatives in Donations etc. and were rewarded by Porky Pickles with the audit commissions private contracts ?
it will take time
This lot wanna decide what LIGHTBULBS you’re not allowed to buy FFS.
How meddling is that?
The Lighting Industry Federation clearly need a lot of Parliamentary influence on their behalf. They also employ Simon Oswald to provide secretariat services to the All-Party Parliamentary Lighting Group. Joan Walley MP sponsors his pass.
Shouldn’t that be Simon Osram?
Can we be sure that he’s that bright?
He appears to be switched on.
Fucking hell what the fuck is going on here?
They seem to be giving lobby passes to anyone fucking wanker these days.
Oh, hold on, you haven’t got one have you, Guido?
Oh well, better luck next time, eh.
As above so below. Nothing will be truly cleansed until Westminster and its Ethos is dismantled.

This string has gotten off to a terrible start.
Agree, though it all depends on the thread heading. The last thread rolled along beautifully simply because it was about something everyone could rattle about, plus, this thread has been put up when everyone is going home from work.
Hope you’re right: Guido’s got time to fix the ‘blatent’ error in his article before anyone notices…
Quite right. Let’s get back to gushing over the new junior trougher, rather than Willie Whitelaw’s callous disregard for justice.
‘Let’s get back to gushing over the new junior trougher.’

That’s why Blair became a Catholic.
He’d heard they could cover up anything and wanted to give them a challenge with David Kelly.
Is that ugly virgin Widecombe still making arrangements to let that hitler-youth, aids-promoting, paedo-supporting, tooth-fairy-worshipping nonjob into the country at the tax payers expense? We should give the Hoon a copy of the God Delusion and tell him to fuck-off back to his castle and do something useful, like purging his institution of paedos. Then again, that would be the institution gone and him out of a job.

I hope the c unt had a really painful death with Cancer. I hope it ripped through him the murdering bastard !
So what was the reason for the cover up and this piece of murdering scum not being brought to Book ?
I can only surmise , at least as far as the Government of the day were concerned that they feared mass civil unrest and outright Civil War in Ireland if it could be shown that Catholic Priests were involved in bombing campaigns.
Or were there other reasons ?

Anybody remember Oliver North, he of the Iran-Contra affair and much document shredding? (He had a very tasty secretary called Fawn Hall.)
Someone of that name is now paid by Timpson Ltd. as parliamentary assistant to Edward Timpson MP. Can’t be the same one, surely?
He works for FOX News, or did not too long ago
Yes. You have to respect anyone who has a secretary called Fawn Hall. Fawn Hall ffs! Presume you mean there is an Ollie North on the list and not a Fawn Hall?

A brief perusal shows any number of Union officials (Unite, GMB, NUT) but so far as I could see, no representatives of Employers’ organisations.
Neither could I see any representation of learned societies in such fields as science, medicine or engineering.
Why do the unions need such disproportionate representation?

Anyone who is good at running a business is likely to be running a business.
You wouldnee expect them to be tossing about playing politcs really would you.
Science and politics are opposites.
Politicians are supposed to represent all; to govern in the best interests of the country. I’d expect them to wish to inform themselves by consulting a broad range of interests and expertise; it is Parliament’s duty to see that it takes informed decisions, not partisan ones.
Lobbyists might lobby, but Parliament must take steps to hear the voices of all interests.

Tory trolls have gone quiet. Could it have anything to do with today’s revelation that one one their heroes, William Whitelaw, turns out to be just another duplicitous cun’t willing to piss others lives down the toilet in case it jeopardised his hopes of selling out to the provos, and making him look good?
What’s 9 mongs lives worth when balanced against his career?
Like Mag the hag didn’t know as well.
Yeah like Bliar didn’t sell us out!!!
In continuing to build on the groundwork laid out by the previous arse, Mr Underpants.
Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?
BINGO!
It’s Maggies fault Blair was a war-monger, self-serving grinning wanker.
And no doubt it’s Maggie’s fault Brown was an economy-wrecking lunatic.
Too bad Maggie’s marbles are apparently getting more lost by the day. She’d have just loved the idea that fully twenty years after she left power Labour governments with massive electoral majorities were still marching to her tune.
Maggie would just love the way she manipulated Blair and Brown into the war in Iraq. And how she manipulated Brown into totally fucking the economy. Just for a laugh.
In answer to the question of her greatest achievement.

OK so most is agreed that binning a moggy is cruel.
But isn’t the internet /facebook/chav media campaign against the perpetrator just, even more cruel?
FFS the moggy may have KILLED the Gran’s budgie or hamster
Wait till the ALF find out where she lives.
Hope she’s got nine lives.
I would wager that the Chav/CCTV household have a vendetta against the gran and all is not as it seems. Could well be the case that they knew where their moggy was all along.
she’s a banker
And it does her good like it fucking well should.
you mean she’s a c’unt ? that is a surprise
“I would wager that the Chav/CCTV household have a vendetta against the gran and all is not as it seems. Could well be the case that they knew where their moggy was all along.”
So the cat is “In on it ” then your stupid self loathing ( but chanel it through small animals) mong !
Have no fear. We will interrogate her with the utmost vigour. We are more than just a charity you know.
That’s right. You have a vast network of overpaid executives to support and it requires constant donations from mad old spinsters and widows.
You have to constantly get your organisations in the paper prosecuting people otherwise they’ll forget all about you and leave their money to their nephew or hairdresser or something.

Hello folks, Please accept my apologies on behalf of jgm2. Today he has not been at his best and his ranting against the cat owning community is simply due to his worsening tourettes illness and his frustration at his ongoing impotence following a terrible accident with Henry the Hoover. He’s a nice chap really but his ongoing medical issues do get him down. His only freedom is the internet and these forums which offer him the opportunity of escapism and allow him to vent his bile to the outside world. Thank you for your understanding.

Just for the lolz, ain’t it?
Interesting reading all the blogs on here,many of which are absolutely spot on.
The genuine peoples of this world far outnumber the ones who want by any means possible to exercise control of the masses.
Politicians of all shades and their myriads of followers in whatever field are out for only one thing and that is CONTROL of the majority of this world to gain advantage.
History tells us who did what and what for and we can learn from this exactly how did the ordinary people benefit from this and I am sorry to say that they did not.
My take is this:- why in heavens name after all these years of strife and millions of ordinary people being killed are we still in the scenario of this continuing unsatiable urge by a few to obtain power by any means.
Getting back to the subject of lobbyists,these people represent the interests,not of the many but of the minority who have vested interests in how things are arranged to their advantage.
I could go on at great length about this but I will leave it to you as to what you are conned into believing.
The reason that mankind continues to destroy each other despite all the advances in eduacation and world diplomacy is down to one Rev Thomas Malthus who stated that mankind must perish by its vices as the Earths resources will be exhausted.
one hundred years ago,here lies the patron of abortion,world war and the green movement
no believer in providence then I take it
Malthus was wrong, mans ingenuity in an unfettered capacity always comes up trumps.
You devote a whole paragraph to complaining about one Lighting executive. So why haven’t you bothered to mention the dozen or so Friends of Israel lobbyists that have been given passes???
Israel has twelve friends?

And 199 filthy evil subhuman dirty Nazi fags, that are paid £500,000 a year each, for sucking off the spunkless cu-nt, David Cameron.
199? That means he gets a blow job every other day, at least.

Now, what’s this astounding revelation by Fawkes of the calamitous undermining of Parliament by, erm, lobbyists all about, again?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/may/13/comment.communities
Everyone will pay, but the easy targets will pay the most, its an age old cry because its an age old fact that governments (even un-elected ones) ultimately always take the path of least resistance while claiming otherwise, especially when they are weak.
So, what chance does an ordinary voter have against this lot??
Representative democracy ….. like fuck it is!!
They truely are “All in it Together”
The list is not accurate and the rules are a bit fuzzy.
I work part time for an MP and I am a Councillor. The rules
say you must declare any occupation or employment “if that occupation or
employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament
afforded by your pass.”
I go to Parliament to type letters, usually eat at my desk
(sandwiches and salads bought outside the estate as I don’t much care for those
on sale at the House, subsidised or not), then I go home. I rarely socialise in
the House (post works drink on the terrace twice since the election) and then
it is only with other pass holders or family members. Certainly nothing Council
related. I also work in the Constituency office and not just the House of Commons.
On the rare occasion something crops up where I may have a conflict of interests due to being a Councillor, I ask one of my Parliamentsary colleagues to deal with the matter.
Initially I did not declare being a Councillor as the pass
did not further my Council career – and I had no intention of it doing so in
the future. However I since decided that perhaps I should declare it, because
although I know that having a pass has not advantaged my Council career, some
people might think it has. So I sent in an amendment some time ago – beginning of July
I think. This is not shown on your list, although I have a letter confirming
the change from IPSA.
So before you rush to condemn anyone, please check with the person
that their entry is up to date and if they need to declare their outside
interest anyway. Like me (initially), they might sincerely believe that their outside
interest is not advantaged by their Parliamentary pass in any way and therefore there is no requirment to list the interest.
I do of course declare working for an MP in my Councillor
Register, and have declared interests where appropriate at Council meetings
etc. I often ask the Council Compliance Officer for advice on what I can/cannot
do if I feel a conflict of interests might arise in my Council duties.
What is it all costing? Do they pay for the passes? 50 years’ ago I had a rule NEVER to talk to anybody with a priv pass! Parliament has become a club for most of the biggest arseholes in the land.
What really sticks out in this list is the sheer number of researchers / assistants who are acting for one religious interest and one particular religious interest in fact, namely the Christian one, to the total exlusion of any other faith group, let alone secular interests.
