Webmail for Dummies
Dear Tom,
How to find out if you can get onto a private email gateway from Downing Street:
- Get your assistant to sit down at a web connected terminal.
- Tell them to double-click on the internet browser symbol to launch it.
- At the top in the address line get your assistant to type http://www.lpnet.org.uk
- Tell her to hit the return key.
You better correct yourself to the Lobby this morning...Regards,
Guido

I had the pleasure of meeting Tony Blair at Davos recently and although technically challenged, he seems a decent enough chappie especially compared to that other chappie who wants his job...
How does David Hill's 'communications' role dovetail with Tom Kelly then ?
Is it to calm him down when he's 'malcolm tuckered' his latest victim ?
Oh dear! The pressure just keeps building, when will somehing\somebody blow?

MPs pledge inquiry into cash-for-peerages affair
By Ben Russell and Colin Brown
Published: 30 January 2007
Labour's hopes of drawing a line under the cash-for-peerages allegations were dashed yesterday as a powerful committee of MPs indicated that it would open a full-scale inquiry into the affair after the police investigation is complete.
Rumours circulated in the Scottish Parliament that Tony Blair could be the next to be interviewed under caution, but the MPs said they would not let their inquiry into sleaze drop, even if the Director of Public Prosecutions decides not to proceed with charges.
The committee chaired by Tony Wright, a senior Labour backbencher, plans to call Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner John Yates, who is heading the investigation, as a "star witness" and is prepared to question in public the key figures in the controversy, including high-profile Labour donors and senior Downing Street aides.
Members of the Commons Public Administration Committee plan to review the law on corruption and public life when the police inquiry and any court action are complete, in a move that threatens to reopen the long-running controversy. They are willing to call evidence from Ruth Turner, the head of government relations, who was arrested by police on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
They will also summon Jonathan Powell, the Prime minister's chief of staff, and John McTernan, director of political operations. Sources indicated the committee is also prepared to call the four Labour donors at the heart of the inquiry, Gulam Noon, Chai Patel, Barry Townsley, and Sir David Gerrard.
The all-party committee has put its inquiry into honours on hold while the police carry out their investigation. But itsr annual report yesterday made it plain that the MPs would not let the matter drop. "We intend to review the law as it reflects public life and corruption, taking any lessons from the case once the police investigation and any subsequent proceedings are complete, and we have invited the police to contribute to that review. We still firmly intend to do so."
One source said: "We will go wherever this takes us. We may call Powell, Turner and McTernan and bring it all out and find out what has been going on. We have got to get to the bottom of it."
Downing Street denied claims that the police had uncovered an alternative e-mail system. "There is no parallel e-mail system in Downing Street," said the Prime Minister's official spokesman. But that did not stop suspicions that there could be a parallel system operating from outside Downing
Guido, more ammo over on Spyblog. Seems there's a Pipex router.

"..once the police investigation and any subsequent proceedings are complete,.."
Which will start about the same time Iraqi democracy elects a jewish president.
As someone said to me, don't bother holding your breathe.
somehing = something :-(
One has to wonder whether Gord is mad enough to spike Tone after the end of the pantomime season.
And now a mention of master Fawkes in the Torygraph.
Congratulations Sirrah.

A propos sod all : A few lesser known but most apt quotes:
Andrew Marr - The political news will not be shown today because we could not find anybody who could keep a straight face...
John Prescott - It is not what you know or who you know it is what you know about who you know...
John Reid - I believe the team here should implement a fresh dynamic for energy restoration procedures so let's break for a long lunch...
John Reid - I never blame others for my mistakes; I blame the same people every time...
Patricia Hewitt - My latest idea for nurses and doctors is a stress management plan based on the SHADDUP AND STOP WHINING principle...
Patricia Hewitt - I have a note from my doctor; I am allergic to criticism...
Gordon Brown - I thought I felt a paradigm shift but it was just my underpants riding up...
Tony Bliar - We must draw a line under unethical behaviour; but draw it in pencil...
Tony Bliar - Two wrongs do not make a right; on average it takes three wrongs with five denials plus six acusations with nine excuses combined with eight half truths and ten bare faced lies...
Tony Bliar - We have set up strict new security standards in Downing Street and those working here must never forget to use the super ecret-say ode-cay...

On the way to the site the following warning popped up:
- The server's name "www.lpnet.org.uk" does not match the certificate's name "WhaleCommunications". Somebody may be trying to eavesdrop on you.
- The certificate for "WhaleCommunications" is signed by the unknown Certificate Authority "butcher.farmjack.com". It is not possible to verify that this is a valid certificate
- The certificate for "WhaleCommunications" expired Apr 4 16:57:44 2003 GMT. The webmaster should update the certificate(s).
Although it's fun to blow holes in the PM's story, isn't it more important that Yatesy get his hands on the emails at lpnet?
I'm hoping for a 15th February Blair resignation.
Spyblog uncovered the fact that they have a Pipex link into No10, with a whole range of IP addresses, which would indicate a router.

Why does the assistant ("them") become female ("her") after double-clicking on the internet browser icon?
Something to do with using Micro-Soft??
Has one marker been passed already, can anyone imagine a Blair honours resignation list being allowed to get as far as the palace?

that's the moment the screen comes up and said assistants testicles shrivel in fear.
(complete rubbish but would make a great movie scene)

Quote from the article:
However, Downing Street spokesman said: "I can say categorically that there is no one in Downing Street who has access to that system. The Labour Party system is on a secure system but no one in No 10 has access to it."
The security certificate supplied expired in 2003, is assigned to "WhaleCommunications" (same as header on web page, and a Microsoft subsidiary), and appears to be issued by something called "butcher.farmjack.com".
The SSL certificate also makes a reference to Fort Lee, NJ, US.
It's probably only the webapp they're using for mail, though.

Does that mean that we have to phone up to ask?
Or do we just open up the address?

I doubt you could just phone up and ask. Those 0171 numbers haven't been in use for years.

I totally agree with the above..!
Regarding the 0171 numbers, surely this is just old data.
Tony may be an idiot but there are people employed to stop this type of stupidity.
At first I believed you lot but now I realise that this all black propaganda designed to discredit a man who without doubt is the greatest British Prime Minister of the 21st century.
Bingo! Same line this morning as previously... except this time he attacks you, Guido, for feeding "wrong information". Bit ironic, that, coming from the PMOS.
So now we know - they use webmail for their sleazy secrets.
Odd that the language options are English (default),German, Spanish and French.
Now I am not suggesting that the Labour Party is controlled from the Continent but still,its a touch strange.
LOL
I love that not only did you not ge a lobby pass but that you also delete my comments reminding you of that failure.
It's telling that most of your fans think that the the nadir of achievement is a mention in the mainstream press i.e., the Telegraph, the Times, Sky News...
LOL
Your comment is still there you mong ON THE OTHER POST.
Most of the people in the comments are mongs and you should pay no attention to them.
Guido's Lobby pass is available when and if he gets round to processing the paperwork.
BTW Have you noticed that the lobby has spent the last two days arguing with the PMOS over this blog?
LOL
Tetchy, aren't you?
Show us your lobby pass, go on. Bet you can't get one.
LOL
Your 3.43pm response is unacceptably offensive. "Mong" as a term of abuse is derived from Mongol or Mongoloid, as in Down's Syndrome. If that's how you insult people then you're a dickhead.
Mong!

That's a VPN configuration, if you ask me. You don't leave 139 open unless you need to offer file and printer shares to mobile users off your lan - it's a secure network. But done in a rather half arsed way, or we wouldn't be seeing all this info. I wonder what the devious fucks are up to.

i'm not sure what this means - maybe there's a basic firewall in front of it. So that infers that the login page is actually ON the firewall - but the webserver is behind that, which you get to after logging in.
now lets stand back about this - can you even begin to IMAGINE the media firestorm that would explode if it was discovered that Dubya in D.C. had a secret mail system, separate from the office of presidentm, and funded by the Republican Party.
it be out of office faster than you could say Richard Nixon.
swear to god guido - this smells. and it smells bad.
