Disgraced Labour Leader’s Latest Run-In With the Law
Guido was just thinking that blog-favourite Steven Purcell had been quiet for a while, and then just as Miliband headed for Scotland, up he popped again. In another stunning PR success, Labour’s one time Glasgow golden-child, was questioned by police over the weekend about an “assault” that took place at his flat at 5:30am on Sunday morning. Guido understands that Glasgow councillor had been out celebrating the fact that the Crown Office had dropped their investigation into his time as chief of the Labour-led City Council. As we covered extensively at the time, Purcell’s career ended with him in rehab and his criminal associates under the microscope.
Police were called to an “after party” that got out of hand and punches were thrown in a dispute with an invited guest. Having had their investigation into corruption shunned by the powers that be, Guido imagines that the police were only too happy to wade back in to this one. Purcell was questioned for ten hours.
A younger man was also arrested…
UPDATE: Anna Raccoon has more.
At leaqst he will know what line to take.
Has he got a brick dust/flour habit then?
gram flour?
Shush. OK. How much?
Chop off ‘is knob the knob
What was the Assault? His Cock in some ones ARSE? Seems the only way any one can be GOLDEN in Politics. You have too take a whopper or Two.
Blimey! A right minger, even by Jockanese standards
Political Ellite Party on down as Tax Payers pick up the TAB for the Olympics PARTY. While Europes finances collapse The Political Elite party at London Olympics driving Europeans to starvation. Blinded by the Mammoth destruction of capitalism through the Phoney Economy forced on democratic countries by the international bankers. Get them in DEBT then you have control. Nothing like a good War to destroy their finances. War on Drugs War in Afghanistan.
Perhaps he was a bit behind with the rent.
They both claim to have been ass aulted so it seems a good time was had by all.
Seems like the sort of quality representative Labour voters trust with vast amounts of public cash in Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester etc. Ken for mayor!
Sounds like one of my little parties.
Weegie gets drunk, wastes police time shock.
I never bother to talk to little people
Chop off his….knob, the knob
It is a scandal that any British Politician or political representative is arrested by the police.
He wasn’t arrested!…..believe it or not,he was given a lift by Glasgow Police,to escape from reporters…..Glasgow’s finest coming to the aid of this corrupt ex council leader!!!!!!….Heads should roll.
This is the same Police force who on being in possession of evidence that the Leader of the city council was associating with known gangsters and abusing Class A drugs decided to give him a warning and advice on avoiding possible blackmail rather than investigate and prosecute him.
Thats the Chicago way.
And people point fingers at us…
Sounds just like Portsmouth to me. Are the Gangsters in Glasgow members of the craft, like they are down here? Boaz.
Interesting isn’t it When the Streets of Glasgow are awash with Drugs and out Army is in Afghanistan or should I say Helmand Province the Worlds Heroin centre. I wonder how they get the Drugs out of a WAR ZONE? Oh and Heroin used to come from Vietnam when the Americans invaded that country. I hope Know one is putting 1+1 together. No wonder the COPS aren’t interested in Politicians taking Drugs.
I don’t do cΦke cos the fizzy bubbles get up my nose. I reckon it is over rated.
Overrated, over priced and over here.

Looks like a fat bar..steward…. must be a sweaty sock
Arrested?
There’s a bugger.
Hmmmmm cuaght in the back passage, perhaps?

It’s not possible, but it wouldn’t stop them trying.
About time we had a Panorama investigative prog about the Glasgow mafia
You don’t watch the BBC though.
Nor do I…
Oooo. Ooooo!! Can I present it please, Jeremy?
Fuck off Walk – this is my gig. Do you need subtitles for that?
We`re over budget, she presents the friday night review as well.
The BBC stopped doing investigative journalism in 1996, can’t think why.
We only do stories about Tories, in fact we have one one tonight, it’s about Lord Ashcroft…again.
We hate Tories, but we love cuddly lefties.
The BBC in Scotland are *part* of the Glasgow Mafia.
Its called the Friday club and it effective sewed up the Scottish media for Purcell.
He should be the poster boy for independence.
Surely your not accusing the childless Mr Salmond, of anything so loathsome?
Labour dogshit are their own worse enemies. He should change his name to Pursued!
Don’t drag my family’s good name into this.
Sorry, i dont understand comment number 19. What on Earth are you on about?
Who cares? I’m still laughing at Raj Pursued.
And there was me always calling him Raj Pseud…
Tom Watson’s brutha from another mutha?
Certainly not his “evil twin,” since they’re BOTH evil.
But you’re right, they both look like their father:

So what’s wrong with celebrating a good result with a score?.

Now i know what the White substance is on his top lip !

Purcell’s mentor is one Willie Haughey, weel kent in Glasgow circles. His refrigeration business was in the path of the unnecessary M74 extension. £millions paid out in compensation.

Here’s another one for Guido to “borrow”.
Is Alex Salmond already plotting to have the London based banks relocate in Edinburgh, of course following the referendum on independence for Scotland.
Is he also going to steal George Osborne’s thunder and Edinburgh as the trading centre for currency, including that of the Chinese.
Maybe the Pandas were just the start.
A warning for Ed Miliband, be careful what bandwagon you wish for, you don’t know what your messing with by taking on the banks. The thick labour supporters and media might be bought but the financial institutions will have you for breakfast.
Be honest who the fuck wants to live in Scotland? Have you seen the women?
What about Mary Doll? Have you seen the Eagle sisters and Diane Abbott?
Be serious
Three quarters of RBS staff would resign rather than having to live in Scotchland

So thanks tot he mong face leader of the Labour party RBS had 500 million wiped of it’s value today. great that another 500 mill we now owe.
Fucking Labour, even when out of power they keep running up the national debt.

Can I flog you a Life Peerage in Milliband’s next list ?
He is getting into the swing of things you know ?

The media are bumming themselves senseless whilst the country self-implodes.
Mission accomplished.
Watching Channel 4 news out of the corner of my eye….. Lazy lazy journalism. ‘student numbers down by 9%’ … Cohort size is down you ninnies. Lies, damn lies and statistics…..
It’s not lazy, it’s just the left leaning default setting of most of our ‘impartial’ broadcast media. I wish we could unleash a Fox to shake the fuckers up.
You wish for more journalists? You fucking hoon.
If they were real journalists and not poodles of the establishment, yes. Fight fire with fire is what I say. Why do you think that Murdoch’s bid for BskyB has been so ruthlesssly attacked by the left in this country? They’re shit scared that their stranglehold over the broadcast media is in danger of being seriously challenged.
Errr. You’re not that bright, are you? Are you a journalist perchance? A wannabe journalist? Couldn’t you get a real job, then?
Elucidate please, wanker, I don’t give full replies to half arsed poofs.
Murdoch “Fox” found a gap in the market….
The 78% of Americans that aren’t “liberal”.
Nobody really knows the percentage of those who aren’t ‘liberal’ in the UK, because the market is a lefty closed shop, and can’t be tested.
Sun 4 000 000
Grauniad 250 000
How many times do I have to point this out? Non-swimmers clutching onto the raft of reality.
The potential number of students for the coming university year 2012/2013 appe@ars to be down by 9% so far.
Understandable. Would you pay £9k pa for a degree in one of labour’s non subjects like beauty or meeja with no prospect of a proper job at the end of it?
The only people now who are going to be prepared to pay a fair price for a decent degree are the one’s who are determined on real professions like science, engineering, medicine etc.

I think the problem with our Nicolas is the same as with Granville in Open All Hours. He’s a failed Hungarian. Now, every Hungarian knows that he or she is the cleverest person in the world. Add that to normal male French arrogance, stir in a bit of the Napoleon complex, and whaddayerget?
The implied (subliminal?) message from the BBC being that the UK and the Czech Republic are marginalised, new fiscal pact?, Lol, we promise not to piss any more of your money down the drain again?.
Fiscal Pact? The eurozone countries?
Presumably the beeb means the one’s who’ve spent themselves into a black hole and can’t get out without countries like the UK paying £billions into the IMF to bail them out!!
Cameron and georgie being sensible. What a relief!! Oh wait a minute……. we’re the one’s paying for the eu’s profligacy!!
The fuckwits at the BBC still don’t seem to realise the party’s over. Jeez, they’re dumb as fuck.
They’ll keep milking the publicly funded gravy train whilst spouting their biased leftwing twaddle for as long as government lets them.
If we get a real tory government in 2015 perhaps then they’ll do something about the biased beeb and its immoral conscienceless pillaging of public funds. But until then……

When Scotland is free you English will not have to worry your tiny heads about little matters such as this.
I am sure you will though find other weighty matters to get your Y-fronts wet about.
So if it’s *our* heads that are tiny, remind us again why we had to bail out your banks? Explain why you couldn’t do that for yourselves.
In fact, explain why we have to give financial aid to your shitty little non-country in order to keep it afloat? Year after year after year.
In fact, don’t bother. Just have your referendum ASAP, make absolutely certain that you vote “YES” and fuck off, go bankrupt, but don’t fucking dare whine that said bankruptcy was “the fault of the Inglish.”
Because we don’t want to hear from you fuckwitted Scotch ingrate cunts ever again.
Harsh, but undeniably fare.
Why don’t you just give us our freedom and let us fall flat on our faces.

As far as banking is concerned Scotland had a perfectly good banking system until Halifax PLC and Nat West PLC arrived with loads of leveraged money arranged through the good old City of London who are very good friends with your Prime Minister.

I doubt very much whether Strathclyde Police are “happy to wade back in”. I’d suggest they’ll do everything they can to drop the case.
Strathclyde Police have been run by a labour police authority for the entirety of their existance and have shown marked reluctance (to say the very least) in the past to investigate anyone in labour.
What you should be wondering is why BBC Scotland (and most of the print press) have done their very best to suppress any bad news to do with Stevie boy.
Can you imagine a situation in England where the leader of a council with a £1.3billion budget gets warned by the police about being best buddies with known gangsters, warned about his cocaine habit, then does a runner and it doesn’t make news?
Wait and see the shitstorm that’s going to descend on labour when they lose Glasgow in the May elections. The SNP will finally get the chance to see the books (the real ones) regarding the ALEOs that have been run for labour councillors personal benefit. I’m sure BBC Scotland will do their very best to protect their labour buddies though – they always have and they always will.
Don’t bet on it. The Scottish capacity for self-harm is boundless. The entire nation is in a race to the cemetery. Be it al*co*ho*l, drugs, lard-based food, cigarettes, or sectarian warfare.
Voting Labour is just another manifestation of their suicide gene.
Mmmm I quite agree, however I think you’ll find that Scotland has had enough of Labour this time. When Glasgow goes SNP in May then labour in scotland are dead. One of their Glasgow councillors jumped ship to the SNP yesterday so he can see the writing on the wall.
Interestingly it appears labour in Glasgow are busily deselecting councillors with “history” – chairman of the fire & rescue board, city treasurer, head of land services, head of planning, head of licensing board…..
Probably best to have them out of the way before May
Jgm2 you have the mindset of a Racist, no actually you ARE a racist.
‘Racist’? How awful. I’ve never been called anything so terrible in my whole life.
Is that the best you’ve got? Scottish folk dying ten years earlier on average than their English neighbours and pointing this out makes me a racist?
“The ENTIRE nation is in a race to the cemetry”
Racial Stereotyping is the mark of a Racist.
If you talk like a racist, walk like a racist and smell like a racist then you are a racist.
Any decent minded person looking over your posting history would come to the same conclusion. Shame on you.

Possibly the most intreguing aspect of this incident is the identity of the victim of this assault. Why is their name missing from reports ?
And the age of the ‘victim’ or other person arrested. Normally mentioned in an arrest. ‘A 27 year-old man/15 year-old youth who cannot be named was arrested….’
Mr JGM
Surely it is normal to have brawls with teenage boys in the wee ooors?
It is a fine thing thing that he wanted to give a helping hand to a young chap
Shame that the young laddie want so keen on the hand
The full identity of the accused including his age has been reported he comes from the Yoker district of Glasgow. This is the area in which Purcell previously resided and was advised to move from after his associations and “colourful lifestyle” came to the attention of the Police. The victims identity remains a mystery.
