Peter Hain’s trip to open a school in Sierra Leone last week seems to have gone well: he managed to land yet another job along the way. He’s just been appointed as a non-executive director at Amara, a major mining company that has subsidiaries in Burkina Faso, Mali and the Ivory Coast. Sounds like a nice little earner…

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
Orange cünt.
Oi Do you mind I resemble that remark
Are we funding this Company as part of the foreign aid package?
What other Foreign Qunago’s are our Political fraudsters working for?
I fear that the large number of comments likely will be unable to match the accuracy and brevity of Throbber
I suppose in the interest of brevity I could have dropped the word Orange.
Can’t improve on that, Throbber!
Ole! he has been Tangoed.
The ability of total tossers to pick up sinecures again and again never fails to depress me.
Where there’s money, there’s Hain.
I see a fellow board member is called Peter Spivey. Hain will fit in right away.
Is there any room for me?
..and me. I could give the enterprise the depth of my experience in dealing with these dubious foreign types.
I’m doing Hoon work.
C*nt
Well paint me orange and make me a director because I could be a Hunt too.
Has Gordon turned up to parliament as promised/threatened (delete as applicable)
Gordon Brown? Gordon Brown? We are searching for you Sir. Are you CERTAIN that he is a member here? We don’t have any record of him for some time; perhaps we could cross check with the expenses people.
Well we are still paying out the maximum expenses possible – are you sure that he isn’t coming to work?
This is how far people have to travel now to find work under the tories.
Work? You call what Hain’s doing work?
Hain is an old fashioned exploiter of the poor, well he’s an exploiter full stop. Jimmy, bless, has yet to cotton on.
FFS how long does it take a jury to come to a decision?
Or not come to a decision if the case relates to the former Ms Huhne and the jury consists of thick bastards.
My theory: The jury realise that she’s as guilty as sin but haven’t the heart to punish her because she dropped Huhne right in it. It’s a theory.
Are we talking Hain or Huhne here ?
Same difference I ‘ sppose.
Amateur. I earn millions from my work with large investment banks.
it all helps defray expenses- what?
Was it a tanfastic mine?

I thought non-executive director’s weren’t on the payroll?
Don’t mock, it’s called capitalism. It makes the world go round.
Sleaze Bag!
I wouldn’t give him a job managing my dog.
In rekindling his African interests he obviously isn’t worried that he might again find himself in the frame for bank robbery…
Peter Hain, the guy who egged on Mugabe to fuck up Rhodesia and the ANC to fuck up ZA. A great African indeed. Puke.
