Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Sorry, Stan, but that really is a load of old toffee. You're talking about 100 years ago. Trade unions are almost hopelessly irrelevant in today's world. Ten minutes of the dreadful Bob Crow's rantings and his throwback RMT union is illustration enough.

25,

I may be thick, but for the life of me I could not see what was wrong, immoral, sinful illegal, or corrupting about him borrowing money from a friend in order to buy a house. .

Probably, I am missing something.

I am not surprised by politicians being often short on the truth. It is the blatancy of this present political hierarchy who are so prepared to lie and misrepresent the truth on the NHS, Well fare reform and education, etc.

At the same time portraying themselves as saving the country for all, rather than as ther appear to be doing of pillaging the country for themselves.

All areas of the state and economy have to evolve and change and sometimes the previous excesses modified or contained, but the crew, in charge at present, are being destructive to society and together with their economic policies and international policies are going to create a period of chaos.




Extreme actions often result in sever back lashes.

Again the latter are destructive.

Mandelson had bought a home in Notting Hill in 1996 with the assistance of an interest-free loan of £373,000 from Geoffrey Robinson, a millionaire Labour MP who was also in the Government, and subject to an inquiry into his business dealings by Mandelson's department.

Mandelson contended that he had deliberately not taken part in any decisions relating to Robinson.

However, he should have declared the loan in the Register of Members' Interests and he resigned on 23 December 1998.

Mandelson had also not declared the loan to his building society (the Britannia), when he applied for funds from them to supplement those already obtained from Robinson. The Britannia decided not to take any action, with the CEO stating "I am satisfied that the information given to us at the time of the mortgage application was accurate."

This was clearly not correct and such an application from a more normal member of the general public would have been considered illegal at the time and might well have invited prosecution for trying to obtain funds under false pretences. However, the actual chance of this occurring would have been extremely low.

So this was potentially illegal in most people's opinion and quite definitely immoral on at least two counts, once again in most people's opinion too.

Mandelson initially thought he could weather the press storm, but had to resign when it became clear that the Prime Minister thought nothing else would clear the air.

On 16 October 2000 it was reported that Robinson "accused Peter Mandelson of lying to the Commons about the home loan affair that cost both of them their Government jobs."

Illegal and immoral imo

but the blairite govt lloked after one of their own
