Reply to: Would Gordon Brown get a lucrative post-PM job?

One key difference being that when caught out, members of that government actually resigned, and in some cases went to jail.

Meantime Major was shagging Edwina Currie and lecturing us about back to basics - but that was fine because he didn't get caught.

Major ruled over a Tory government riddled with dishonesty.

I have always wondered why any company wants these ex-pms. Once they are no longer in the job they are no longer useful.

Maybe its payoff for favours while in office.

They will have built up contacts and bring "knowledge of the lobbying and procurement processes".

I meant "knowledge of government".

That doesn't make him dishonest though does it !!!! I despair at some of the people on these boards who are so blinded by hatred that they cannot spot the good people from the bad.

Oh and not forgetting how he treated your beloved Maggie !

Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, pot.

Yes, it does.

And thank you for pointing out the mote in my eye.

That is precisely why I stated 'politically honest', cos I knew some imbecile would mention that. Even the best people have affairs.

selective honesty you mean

Those offenses look rather minor in comparison to the outrageous behavior of nuLieBore over the years.

A balanced poster at last !!

I didn't think you liked things that smell of Currie.

That wasn't the question.

And it's not true: Major ruled over a Tory government riddled with dishonesty.

You can't compare Major to these guys. He was an politically honest man, whereas Brown, Blair, Mandelson etc are all proven liars.

Oh come on. If John Major can sit on Carlyle Group's board, there's a place in the sun for any ex-PM.

Blair is the antichrist

Peter is the Dark Lord who sits on his right

So he should have done an hour's artwork stint in Trafalgar Square, at night. Then he would have been The Plinth of Darkness.
