Any comments on Lord Goldsmith doing a 'midnight flit' just as Teflon Tony is due to depart, Guido ??
They wouldn't piss on his bonfire by putting charges forward this Thursday would they ?
Goldsmith just jumped before he was pushed.
Bring the charges before Wednesday morning please.
We may need to build a longer wall to get them all up against it.
Some of us want the satisfaction of seeing them sent down and on porridge for a few years sniper.
has anybody thought whay Blair et al were so in favour of asymetric extradition with the USA ...i.e they cannot be brought back :-)
Goldsmith quite sensibly wants to go back to his high earning and very successful practice, having done his bit for his country and worked with his friends....
Admit he'd prob not have survived Broon but at same time this isn't so unusual for people in his role. Is it?
Bet you'd have gone to the party if you could, eh Guido?
is there anything wrong with journalists going to this sort of thing... 'consorting with suspect' as Guido had it in an earlier post? I don't think so - they're not exactly public people...
I look forward to brown and those involved with him in the Smith Institute fraud , receiving the Yates treatment - after all, that is straight forward theft from the public purse and should be very much easier to substantiate , because of the existence of a paper trail involving civil service personnel.
A source close to Lord Levy tells me that the worthy editors are not suffering from bent ears.
It sounds like the sort of party the Kray brothers used to hold where crooks mixed with politicians and journalists who owed them favours.
Levy's importance to Blair can hardly be overstressed. The two first met at a dinner party in 1994, given by senior Israeli diplomat Gideon Meir, and Levy soon became the politician’s tennis partner. After financially backing Blair’s leadership bid from his own pocket, the following year he was entrusted with setting up the so-called Labour Leader's Office Fund blind trust to finance the Leader of the Opposition’s private office. Although not a trustee, Levy had the job of bagman. No press release was issued proclaiming the fund’s establishment. Its existence only became public knowledge with an article in the Sunday Times in November 1996. The Blair camp was quick to defend its integrity. One unnamed spokesperson argued: “It is not a secret fund, it is a blind trust, which means that no one in the office knows who the donors are. Certainly not Tony.”
Certainly not Tony? Given that details of four prominent businessmen backers were published in the newspaper, that argument hardly passed muster. Among those named were the late Sir Emmanuel Kaye and Sir Trevor Chinn. The other two persons named by the Sunday Times as Labour Leader’s Office Fund donors – printing millionaire Bob Gavron and Granada Television’s Alex Bernstein – both subsequently secured peerages....

Forget Goldsmith. The interesting effluent-hitting-fan story is going to break 1 day after 'Lord' Boyd is appointed Attorney General. On 28th June the appeal result is due for the Lockerbie bomber Megrahi's conviction. If, as a direct result of Colin Boyd's interference with the DC Shirley McKie affair (officers from the Scottish Criminal Record Office colluded to implicate her in a murder), Megrahi is released then one hopes it might not go so well for Boyd.
I rather think we might be swapping one corrupt rat leaving a sinking ship for another corrupt rat joining it.
Let's name names shall we? Which supine lobby hacks went to the party?
I know of at least two - including one female political editor.
Oh sorry, forgot. None of you lot have a clue do you?
Perhaps Guido would care to enlighten us?
Smug,
Duh! No need to re-enlighten the readers. Click on the link and you'll see most of them listed in Guido's original story.
Missed Patience Wheatcroft in the original story. So add her on.
"If, as a direct result of Colin Boyd's interference with the DC Shirley McKie affair"
Thanks for the heads up, Julian. I had not understood the connection but it matters for another story I'm watching.
Mr GuF plus the Indy? This is developing into quite a consensus.
Just a thought, "Cash for Honours" would be a good title for a board game.
So much springs to mind :
Goto jail
Questioned under caution
Get arrested at dawn
Get out of jail free
Questioned as a witness
Get arrested again
Questioned as a witness a second time
Police leave by the back door
Go to a party and get a wet handshake
Police come in the back door
Take a chance
any more suggestions?
Yes - a warning on the game's box.
Do not start to play if you are within 5 years of your life span ending. The lawyers take so bloody long making their move you will likely die before your next move.
Levy is a sleazebag. The sooner he's in Bellmarsh, being raped by 20 stone tattood psychopath the better.
Chris Paul 10.30 pm (ho, ho)
So how did you get to know "The Hitch?"
The truth of all this in my book?
