Blair Praises Corruption Suspect Sleazy Levy
The insouciance of Lord Levy knows no bounds. Last night at his £6,000 leaving party, he joked about honours peddling. He should have learnt his lesson from the last time he went to a fancy dress party in a gangster outfit as "Honours Levy". The police arrested him the following week after reports in the press of his chutzpah.In his speech he praised two former FCO Permanent Secretaries - John Kerr and Michael Jay - for their help. He cracked a gag congratulating them on their peerages, saying with a smile: "Nothing to do with me."
Tony told the Lancaster House party goers "I would like to thank him for everything he has done for our country." Guido suspects that the next place Tony speaks about Sleazy Levy in public will be at the Old Bailey.

Unreal. These sleazy scumbags obviously think they will get away with it.........given bliars record of breaking international and domestic law with impunity they may be right.
They must be called to account.
Tony knows who has the most powerful friends, not he!
Rubbing Dibbles nose in it. Not the best action to take if you're looking at a stretch inside, and having to worry about dropping the soap.
Howabout a sweepstake on who gets charged and with what ?
Levy + 'Sir' Christopher Evans and possibly Powell and/or Ruth Turner for the substantive charge of breaching the Honours Act (one count - excuse the pun).
Levy + Ruth Turner for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice - the cover up (one count).
A.Blair Esq.......at the least a prosecution witness who will be mercilessly cross-examined, and who will be accused by Levy's Counsel of approving the whole thing - the Judge will have to caution him. I wonder if he will reply ?
I suppose we could also have a sweepstake on whether they go to jail or not. 18 months suspended is the usual tariff for naughty boys in high places who get caught. But could he be fined as well (hurt him where it hurts most).
Will Levy do time ?
I was pleased to learn from my friend Ratty that from now on in Pakistan all dogs are to be addressed as "Sir" (an exciting pro-animal initiative following on from the Salmon Rushdie ennoblement, which sees a fish getting a title for the first time) ...any way to get to the point, could I buy a title from Mr Levy? Or do we think that the new Broon government will follow our Pakistani friends and introduce the same idea here? I would be happy to be Sir Mutleythedog....
I have asked interesting political questions here before and no one answered...incidentally who won the Labour Party Deputy Leadership thing?
Will Levy do time ?
He could use Holocaust flashback syndrome to avoid jail, as employed by a fellow Jewish con artist to avoid an 18-month prison term :
£7m fraudster freed over his flashbacks to the Holocaust
I suspect that they all know that they will get away with it.He is Teflon Tony.Blast.
Commons Q&A yesterday
Smith Institute: Finance
Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to the answer of 16 April 2007, Official Report, column 249W, on the Smith Institute: finance, what the (a) title and (b) location was of the staff training course in August 2003; how many staff attended; and from what teams those staff came. [139920]
Mrs. McGuire: The information is not available.
Will Levy do time?
He can also get some corrupt doctor who should have been struck off to declare that he's suffering from altzeimers. The doctor can feel safe in the knowledge that the press will protect his identity for ever more.
'I'd like to thank him for all he has done for the country'
Well that wouldn't have interrupted the free piss up for more than a couple of seconds would it?
What a disgusting pair.
Nice to see that all the bad press and questioning hasn't knocked his confidence as he'll need that for a possible appearance in court.
Talking of jobs and job losses, the potential Labour-Plaid coalition in Wales aside, my thoughts are with the Depuy Presiding Officer, Rosemary Butler at the moment... How can one woman have so much bad luck?

Gotta admire his devil may care attitude.
One hopes its the pills or the lies he's been fed, cos when reality kicks in...........
Never mind he can always do a Saunders.....or better still spill the beans and take em all down.
Hello Mr. Mutley, a pleasure to see you again.
You said.I would be happy to be Sir Mutleythedog..
Their may be a problem with the protocol thingy when HRH. says "Arise Sir Mutley." What are you going to do? If you stand on your back legs you will flash your bollocks to her, something that just isn't done anymore. It would be prudent to sort it out before the day.
Bet you all this comes to very little. It's starting to be a bit stale. Might be the odd charge, but nothing too seious I reckon. And I doubt whether Blair will be cross-examined.
gordo on a horse on daily politics. no nappy in sight
They're all going to get away with it. The timing is too convenient - waiting till Blair has gone, clean sheet etc. They'll join the list of charlatans and crooks we all remember but can't do anything about. Sad, but true.

Problem solved - luckily I do not have any.... oh.

BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT IS THE MOST MINOR CHARGE THEY COULD BRING ? THERE AREN'T ANY. IT'S NOT LIKE DOING A DEAL FROM GBH TO COMMON ASSAULT.
THE ONLY CHARGE IS THE SUBSTANTIVE ONE OF BREACHING THE HONOURS ACT WHICH IS A JAIL SENTENCE (POTENTIALLY, ANYWAY).
THERE SEEMS TO BE CLEAR EVIDENCE HONOURS WERE GIVEN FOR CASH/LOANS.
THE CPS ARE DUTY BOUND TO PROSECUTE. IF THEY DO, THEN THEY WILL BE FORCED TO CALL TONY SO THEY CAN DEAL WITH THE INEVITABLE LEVY DEFENCE 'IT WEREN'T ME GUV, THAT PM PUT ME UP TO IT'
THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL TEFLON HAS LEFT OFFICE. THEN WATCH THIS SPACE......
TEFLON HAS PROBABLY BEEN DELAYING HIS DEPRTURE FOR JUST THE REASON YOU MENTION - TO MAKE IT GO STALE. NOT A WORRY FOR KNACKER OF THE YARD !
Wouldn't it be lovely to have a televised trial.
Would make superb viewing koba to see the whole New Labour project fall to pieces before our very eyes.
Blair always talks favourably of people just as he thrusts the blade in - look at his best 'mate' David Blunkett for a good example. If he's heaping praise upon Levy then, were I in Levy's shoes, I'd be looking for my Israeli passport and making sure I've transferred all the cash out.
With the prisons so full, I expect they won't serve a minute in jail.
'and making sure I've transferred all the cash out.'
That's getting harder by the minute for smallish but useful sums.
Wouldn't it be lovely to have a televised trial.
Perhaps that nice Mr Brown could pass a quick amendment to allow it in cases concerning the National Interest???
With prisons full we could of course do a bit of a public off-shoring exercise.
Levy and the rest of the slime could do their bird in Brazil, or The Phillipines, or better still Afghan or Iraq.
That'll give the Howard League and The Penile Reform lot something to think about next time they want to criticise Brit jails.
"The police arrested him the following week after reports in the press of his chutzpah."
Come on Guido, if what you would like to say is that Levy is Jewish, then have the chutzpah to just say it - rather than resorting to yiddish references.
Sorry, which country has this man done things for?

If what you'd like to say is that Guido is antisemitic, then have the chutzpah to just say it - rather than resorting to innuendo. Few things encourage antisemitism more than the sight of people trying to silence legitimate criticism by pretending it's prejudice.
"So, to borrow the phrase Tony Blair used about himself during the first row over New Labour's funding, I regard Lord Levy as 'a pretty straight sort of guy'." -- Dominic Lawson, The Daily Mail, 17th July 2006.
"There is a general feeling, and it is increasingly sensitive, that this is all about 'get the Jew'. I do not play the anti-Semitic card. But within my immediate community, and the Jewish community generally, they are sensitive to the fact that this is becoming all about one Jew."
Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet speaks out on Levy's behalf over "Cash for honours", The Daily Telegraph, 9th March 2007.
Brilliany story on this in the Daily Mail today.
They must have had reporters from all angles at this do.
Chutzpah is usjed all the time. Its not a specific Jewish term anymore althoth it has Jewish roots.
In any case this isnt about 'get the jew'. Its about get the sleezy corrupt Labour party that promised so much and spent the last 10 years with its snout buried in the trough.
Whoops...I used a pork analogy. Will that have me labelled as anti semitc too?
I'm minded that Al Capone, John Gotti and the Crays used to make lighthearted jokes to journalists and others about their "supposed" criminal activities. I seem to remember they all ended up in gaol eventually.
I take this as a sign of hope.
