There's the one who was on gay bondage sites but can't remember his name
Wasn't me. I didn't do it. I saw 'nuffink.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
How come the BBC isn't chasing the story more aggressively to find out just where that money came from that was used to pay that mortgage off a week later?
Sounds massively dodgy!

I expect she was using Norla or Orange Genie to manage her tax affairs too. If she'd used Parasol she wouldn't be in this mess.
The only reason there arent more nu labour 'politicians' in jail is they are still in control.... and have bullied and smarmed the media.
Once we have 'regime change' and all the sordid little secrets are laid bare, more of them will face the courts... possibly why Derry Irvine was politicising the judiciary so rabidly... self-protection. And note, he stepped down when he realised it was all going up the creek...
This has to be the filthiest bunch of cnuts to have been elected in this country.
This government seem to lead a charmed life. Not long ago there were convincing reports that New Lier doners would receive an honour in return for giving money to new schools. Well, become a Lord and you get to vote in the House of Lords, and have real political power. So, even cash for political power did not cause much of a ripple.
The latest Sunday Times report on Mills suggests that he helped Berlusconi avoid jail, by giving honest evidence in a trial, but being careful about what he said. He admitted it in a letter to UK officials. Now he has retracted the confession. So, how can anyone believe a word he says? And he delayed for 3 years paying tax on £350,000. Apparently the norm for a tax professional doing something like that is a very severe punishment and often imprisonment. He paid a £35,000 fine plus interest on the sum owed.
Oh, and while the government were deciding about smoking bans, and F1 sponsorship, with Jowell involved, Mills was acting as a lobbyist for the tobacco industry. How did she avoid claims of conflict of interest even if she was completely honest? Surely that cannot be allowed?
At the moment there are lots of stories coming from Jowell's friends about how totally honest she is. She might be, but it smacks of a media blitz coordinated by Campbell.
I wonder what most New Lier voters think about all this.
That there is, but how many of the electorate still associate the word "sleaze" with the word "Tory"?
Thanks to the Bliar Broadcasting Corp, rather too many...
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
