City Hall Ridicule “Secret Meetings” Claims
Boris Turned Down Times Column Offer
Sources close to Boris tell Guido that they find the Political Scrapbook story about secret meetings between Boris and Murdoch minions, as well as the Great Satan himself, popping up now a little bizarre. Given the details of the “secret meetings” were released into the public domain in summer 2011 following a Freedom of Information request which can still be seen on the Mayor’s website here you can understand why.
Scrapbook claim that it still doesn’t explain why no mention of it on the GLA gifts and hospitality register, that would be because the meeting with Murdoch was Boris dropping in late for a coffee at the end of a meal. Even a billionaire’s coffee should come in at less than the £25 threshold for declarations as per the rules:
“1(a)(viii) Any gifts or hospitality I have received from any person which has an estimated value of £25 or more.”
What about the secret lunch with Will Lewis and Rebekah Brooks? Close to Boris sources say that was nothing to do with him in his capacity as Mayor, that was them trying to lure him away from his Telegraph column to write a column for The Times. It was a private lunch on a Friday afternoon…
What puzzles Guido about Political Scrapbook running a year old story is: Why didn’t they run it in the heat of the election campaign when it might have had a dramatic impact? It is almost as if they didn’t want Ken to win…
Lets all laugh at scrapbook!
I feel sorry for the mentally ill socialists.
I feel sorry for the thickos that pay tax in this country.
Taxes are for little people.
+1
But you are a little person Umunna!
Fuck off Ken.
Sky top story is lefty wankstain Jimmy (I love the BBC) Carr getting heckled about his lack of paying taxes.
Over on the BBC zzzzzzzzzz
I suspect other rich beeboids also use this tax scam.
Wonder if a FOI would tell us anything about Polly’s remuneration method?
Also, next to nothing in the Guardian. Gone very quite on tax avoidance (the hypocrites that they are.)
That filthy rag the Independent has this Boris story as headlines. Way down the page they even agree that it has been on his website for a year – how stupid can you get? I have uninstalled the G****** next to go will be the I**********
Who needs these people? lying politicised scum – has nobody told them the front page is to report the news. Come back William Randolph…..all is forgiven.
The Independent are going to relaunch with a new name “The ever so slightly biased”.
Boris put the boot into the BBC, and it’s obviously payback time for the lefties.
Who are Political Scrapbook? Never heard of them
Oh it’s some blog run by a silly little boy who hasn’t grown up enough to realise that socialism is a disease. Give him a few years and he’ll be shifting right – either that or he’s just thick.
Jimmy Carr! Pay your taxes!
No Sir I insist, after you
Dear Mr Carr,
what you have done may be legally correct at minimising your tax liability, however in the court of public opinion (to quote one ex govenment minister) i think you will find the court of public opinion to be against you on this one.
Whilst the guardian bangs on about Philip Green it has not as yet done an article about you. If Barclays are tax dodgers as you claim what does that make you.
so morally why not pay up !!!
PS I Legally use ISA’s and Pension Contributions, however they are out of my post tax income.
It’s ok to avoid tax providing every time you do a joke about a town being sh1t you add ‘Partly down to me I’m afraid’ under your breath.
Hold your nose and vote for BJ
I’m a bonking machine. Join the queue ladies and gentlemen.
Hold your todger and ask for a blow job
The accuracy of the PS article is first class. I think I shall use it
I would never of heard of you unless Guido had turned me on would I guido ?
What’s @PSbook Guido? Im up to 3.5 million tweets BTW.
Never heard of it either
It’s Twitterspeak for ludicrous lefty website.
socialist media organization selectively reports on a story they want to blow up into a major headline … jeez there unique! Never seen that before.
“Boris’s Secret Meeting”
‘Boris’ secret meeting’ if you please.
It is becoming de rigeur of the leftie shitehouses to attempt to link their political enemies to Rupert M by any means possible.
Not too hard though is it?
Hahahahahahahahahaha…
Keep on propping up the Mongo Murdoch’s… Isnt gonna help you Guido.
Yes lets use mistruths to get at the ‘hated’ ones
Prick
Labour are at war with Murdoch. Labour have always been at war with Murdoch.
Circulation figures for the Guardian going up are they?
Up by a massive +0%
I’ll happily declare war on Murdochs.
You’ll lose. At least he doesn’t expect to be fucking subsidised for news output, unlike others I could mention.
Yeth! The Murdochth have forethaken uth! They are traitorth! Attack them, comradeth! Attack! Dethtroy!
What is a scandal is that Blair has not been charged with war crimes. I’m afraid labour should look closer to home if they want the moral high ground.
Where is Labours home giudo
The dustbin of history?
Padded room with no windows?
Bottomless pit?
Take your pick.
I was just about to praise you Guido for not having a Bonkers Boris thread for 48 hours….Ho Hum
No one outside London gives a toss about Boris. ie the other 54 Million of us…YAWN
I much prefer the, “Is Gordon Bonkers?” meme tbh.
How is your Tax Avoidance going these days Guido…LOL
Guido isn’t in public office or a hypocritical leftie celebrity is he, you plonker?
Guido openly admits his having a irish passport and minimising his taxes as well as having his servers offshore.
He does not claim to berate others for avoiding tax when doing the same himself.
I’ll give you 3-1 that Guido has less than 10% Oirishness in him.
I know a spe@kers other half that has some Irish in them
I should think that’s more than enough.
Depends if the 10% is between your ears or between your legs
*stays ducked*
Tax avoidance is morally wrong.
Except when my family and I do it.
Boris declares dinner with Rupeert, Guido reports this as Boris “dropping in late for coffee”.. presumably in the next iteration someone will report that Boris was making a meals on wheels delivery to a pensioner….
I like to think of him bashing some old dear’s back door in with his sausage.
what was for afters?
I am completely and utterly bored with murdoch stories. I can’t be the only one.
No, nell. Do like bondage role play?
Ha ha. you forgot to type “you”.
I’m a famous commenter. I’m allowed the odd mistake.
You ARE an odd mistake.
You’re lovely and we love you.
There, I’ve said something.
I knew it. Silent Bob is gay.
Does being up your own arse count as gay?
sad to see a so called libertarian sucking the knob of a big government nutter.
+ a quarter
“Boris dropping in late for a coffee at the end of a meal”
So lightweight.
I would have attended the full 18 course. In my wife’s name, of course.
Sources close to Guido say he is entirely satisfied with sources close to Boris’ explanation.
That’s good enough, then.
We have changed the story from Boris didn’t declare the meeting with Murdoch
to Boris didn’t declare the meeting officially. Sources close to us say we are quite brilliant. I’m sure you’ll agree.
