    Classic Labour:

    But his comments appeared to back-fire as Downing Street officials, taken by surprise, could not say to which authorities Mr Brown was referring. A spokesman said simply: “Whichever authorities are appropriate.”

    Perhaps they are going to have him investigated for illegal compostage?

Any prob,s or questions PM Paddy.

    And AtW , it’s strange that the Government will hand British Passports out like sweets to Russian terrorisits but not to business men.

    Defamation and libel you illiterate twat! Also, your use of punctuation and capitalisation are most certainly questionable. You'll make a good solicitor.

    Are you referring to that guy not being able to get US Visa? That's USA, not UK.

    No!

    Strange as it may seem, but in the USA justice system in view is stronger when it comes to those types - that's why in the USA execs will be going to jail in a few years for causing credit crunch, and in the UK they will get away with it. That's why that guy meets with UK future Chancellor in waiting rather than with US counterpart.

    You don't know AtW

    Now, that's really the last post in this thread that I will make after having refreshed my head in the park:

    In that post of mine that caused legal furore here for supposedly doubting sasguru's honest and legal reprecautions of that, here is what I've got to say: people who knowingly make baseless legal threats without intention to carry these threats out are acting, in my view, dishonestly.

    The only people worse in this respect are people who do make baseless legal threats and then try to carry them out (succeeding too often in this process of intimidation).

    He's not from the Tatton constituency. He's a London based sponger living off Daddy's money playing at politics who was gifted the Tatton constituency as one of the safest Tory seats in the country.

    I supported you on that thread though the poster did make a few valid points.

Or maybe it won't. Or maybe it can't.

    Anyway, I am off now, I'll let the readers come to their own conclusions.

    There sure plenty of people out there who are dishonest and unethical, yet they do not have billions or millions.

    Off to do something useful now.

    You gone yet?
