++ Statement from the Charity Commission ++
The Charity Commission for England and Wales has opened a formal inquiry into the charity The Smith Institute today.
Feb 1, 2007 14:19:09
The decision to open an inquiry was taken in the light of new information we have received which raises concerns about some of the charity’s work.
The scope of the inquiry is to determine whether The Smith Institute is both established and operating as a charity advancing the education of the public in the field of study and research into the economy of the United Kingdom.
The Commission has informed the charity of this decision. The Commission has been and continues to engage with the charity in relation to the issues raised.
On being warned of the approach of the Spanish fleet, Drake is said to have remarked that there was plenty of time to finish the game and still beat the Spaniards. On receiving endless journalist's phone calls at lunchtime, Guido finished another bottle of Chablis with Katy Taylor-Richards, and will still defeat the Sith.

Brown is finished! Im gonna be the next pm!
Guido for a Knighthood
Only Chablis? Is this Lent or something?
CU:
I seem to recall he was cutting back for weight/gravity reasons.
Bring back John Bull
Chablis with Katy Taylor-Richard
Hasn't that poor innocent suffered enough ridicule without you exposing her to further comment?
Does Mrs Fawkes know...?
Loving the graphic and the gag. You're ripping Brown apart.
Bhownagree get that tongue in good fettle. Boss Brown's nether regions will be needing plenty tidying up and TLC in the months ahead.
"Of course its all a little misunderstanding and we thank CC for pointing out a few minor techinical issues to us." Wilf Stevenson. "I will pay back the £100K I trousered. Gordon said it would be OK" Ed Balls
You deservedly smug fucker!I know someone who met you once. This makes me pretty important to.
Other posters yoiu`re narfin`!
Where are the postings from those NuLab 'anonymous' posters as seen on previous stories on The Sith and Blair/Levy?
Where are you NuLab, have you all skulked back off to Islington?
Impressive stuff Guido, it's moments like this I'm glad the internet is around.
Islington! You think after ten years in power they are still living in that hell-hole?
Gordon as Darth Vader (nee Anakin Skywalker) and Guido as ObiWanke nobi?
Anyone remember "Attack Of The Clones"?
Obi-Wan to Anakin: "You'll be the death of me..."
Surely an inappropriate allegory? Luke Skywalker might have been better but then Emperor Blair would have used Force Lightning (aka PMOS bullsh*t) and Vader would have to save yer.
Oh dear...
What's the betting this news doesn't make the BBC headlines?
That's Brown buggared again.
Get on that rocking horse and ride out of town Gordo.
Underdoug:
How dreary, someone with a working knowledge of Star Wars.
Guido, glad to see your photoshopping skills have sharpened up since you made that godawful levy perp walk mess.
This is too big for the BBC to ignore:
Charity probed over 'Brown links'
An inquiry has been opened into the charitable status of a think-tank following complaints over its reported links with Chancellor Gordon Brown.
The Charity Commission said it had new information which raised "concerns" about some of the work of the left-of-centre Smith Institute....cont

Steady on guys, Gordon has done nothing wrong. All the seminars were perfectly legitimate. I really do not see why you are getting so excited. The important point is that we have a stable economy, full employment and low interst rates.
P.S. Well done you
meanwhile in beboid world, the lead story is about an ambulance crew. Strangely couldn't find a mention of this
its tucked away quietly on the BBC website under politics.
Guido that little cut was noticed , just keep cutting where the cuts hurts yor the man
You are a very naughty boy. That fat sod Prescott might have to stand in for me now...
I've just BBC to check their coverage of the Sith issue and found the following nugget http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/speeches/stories/thompson_smith.shtml
BBC DG Mark Thompson speaking to the Sith on "Delivering Public Value: The BBC and public sector reform"
Reform? Public value? BBC? - the most cosseted vapid Bliarite shower in the known world !
no mention of Guido on the BBC report..all credit goes to Tories and Bloomberg
but we know different..
Came across this earlier as well which I thought was oddly apt.
tony blair said...
Thats a great idea Prescott for PM,but he has to stop fighting and them jags well
Who da man? Guido da man!
So let's see, the Prime Minister is being regularly interviewed by the Met re corruption, the Chancellor is being investigated by the Charity Commission, the Deputy Prime Minister forgot to pay Council Tax and forgot to keep his todger in his trews, this Government has encouraged 24hr drinking and will now be encouraging 24hr gambling, our armed forces are involved in two wars we can't win and are overstretched and under-resourced, bankruptcies are at an all-time high, pensions at an all-time low .....
well, it's obviously all Margaret Thatcher's fault.
Phew, got out of that one easily, Tone!
Do not underestimate the power of the dark side ...
Still nothing from the BBC and the guy is just outside no 10 ,what give's BBC
Just heard ultra-Blairite John Rentoul on the radio giggling like an hysterical schoolgirl, saying that what Blair's done may not be "very edifying" but claiming that he will be cleared and that others "lower down" will carry the can.
He wasn't at all convincing and once hysteria sets in you suspect the end is nigh.
Blair's mouthpiece at the Independent reiterated his belief that Brown's dogs are behind much of this as he outlined here 10 days ago:

Wish I could have lunch again with Katy Taylor-Richards.
Well done Guido, keep pushing until these wankers are brought to account.
Can't wait to Bhowandagree's usual turgid, vapid tripe to wave this away, I could do with a good laugh.
Bowwowaghee is otherwise engaged changing Brown's shitty nappy and attempting to cool his temper tantrum at the moment.
Your Sith Sense has served you well; use the force, Guido.
ps I know what you are getting for your birthday, Guido - I have felt your presence.
Didn't think you were drinking until Friday lunchtime
John McDonell:
Because your'e a lousy blogwhore.
No doubt Gay Gordie will have a prior engagement to open a new rocking horse sanctuary in Bongobongo land this weekend.F*cking coward.Go get him Dave.
Well done Guido BTW
Renta Tool is male equivalent of Poly Toynbee. She slavers over GaY Gordon whilst Renta Tool is lodged firmly up Blair's rectum. I wonder if he is ever disgusted by his attempts at political journalism. Perhaps he is in fact the retired pornographer and manic depressive, Campbell.
Katy Taylor-Richards, your latest scheme to drive up your traffic.
Pictures of totty on the blog to rival Ms Wade's page 3 "News in Briefs", perhaps Hitchens could produce the pictures!
Would you find enough willing totty?
John Rentoul looks disgusting.
11,352,960,001 seconds of "growth" yet more than 1,411,352,960,001 of debt.
Some might even think that this "investment" that doesn't have an ROI coult be termed a waste when its paid back (or the country goes bankrupt).
Good luck John Mcdonnell, you will doom Labour to another 18 years of opposition. I for one will aid any military coup launched against you you commie swine.
The media and No11 have come to the stark conclusion that they can no longer guarantee total media coverage or manipulation as they wish, and that bloggers now weild as much power as newspapers and TV.
today's alleged terrorist arrests is believed to be a contrived response to divert media attention away from the Downing St (both 10 and 11) sleaze enqiries.
linked to John Reids announcement that the HO will revisit the 28 day detention rule, the government will use this latest arrest as reason to put curbs on the internet, and perhaps on particular blogs.
Katy Taylor-Richards Ding Dong :-) I hope Mrs Fawkes doesn't find out!
katy taylor-richards and chablis?
oooooh - suit you sir. is she a goer? is she? ooooh. suit you sir....
Re Katy T-Ls pic (guido outer 7:00)
Why is she wearing Guido's braces back to front?
"no longer anonymous", come on over to my blog and say that, if you dare ...
The same goes for all you other right-wing nutters
Chablis? Peasant.
K T-R is quite fit though. Nice one.
So: is the failure of Ed Balls to appear as scheduled on Question Time due to :
a) the adverse publicity received by the Sith ? or
b) something else important about to be announced ?
All power to you. Its about time they realise that the game is up and politicians will have to think long and hard in the future.
Katy Taylor Richards (journalism
student): I just wanted to put to the entire panel
really what you think about responsibility in
regard to sensationalism within newspapers
especially, whether you think that that is
helping towards the ‘dumbing-down’ of news
and generally how you think it might be
affecting political news?
