Look Who Flew in to Say Goodbye to Blair

Yates of the Yard is still chasing down evidence and statements to tighten up the case against Sleazy Levy.

Police flew in Ms Courtney Coventry yesterday to question her again about her dealings with Blair and Levy. In April 2004 she was canvassed by Jane Hogarth, the Labour party's former head of high-value fund raising who supposedly has been made redundant - but is actually still working as a "consultant" to the party.

Lord Levy introduced Courtney, as a potential donor, to Tony Blair. The police want to know what Levy promised in return for a donation.

All it says here is "Coming soon!"

The rest writes itself.

Either Blair dropped an ashtray on her head, or the collars and cuffs don't match....



Someone had to say it. Now back to the serious stuff.

As Batman Blair flies into the Middle East, with his cape flowing, and brand-new crucifix brandished, all he has to say to Jews and Arabs is 'It is most important that yuo all shut up and get on with it. I have a dung heap at home to spin out of'

Is that a damehood in your pocket prime minister or are you just pleased to see me?

Is she really a porn star?

Did she do "favours" for sleazy Levy?

If she is a porny queen she won't be able to keep her mouth shut...

Who is she and what's the antecedence?

C'mon Guido, elucidate.

Does anyone know if International diplomats enjoy diplomatic imunity in their OWN country?

Presumably Blair's new job is an "official" international diplomat?

This issue may already have come up on this blog - but I've been too busy putting me flags up.

From today's Evening Standard:

Scotland Yard source:'We spoke to [Courtney Coventry] in person but we decided she did not have anything of interest to say so she was not formally interviewed. In effect, she was time wasting'

The departing Mr Blair said it at last as almost his final words. "Low Skullduggery". Low skullduggery? nicely played, you black hearted brigand!

I obviously misheard, then?

Is Tony (High Seas) Falsetto, the scurvy knave, due to join the cast of the Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 as a Middle Eastern convoy for a boatload of pieces of eight?

"A Yard source said today she had been questioned about what she knew but detectives had quickly dismissed her information as valueless.

"we decided she did not have anything of interest to say "

I find that hard to believe.

Did they interview her at length?

Compare and contrast:

All in all, then, [Lord Levy] is not a bad man, if an unusually vain one, and you can barely imagine the depth of his distress at being left marooned and isolated in Totteridge, pacing the thick white shagpile as he waits to learn whether he will be prosecuted for carrying out to the letter the fund-raising instructions of the man who appointed him. Each man destroys the thing he loves, said Oscar Wilde, and so it has proved. Mr Mandelson, Alastair Campbell, now Lord Levy... all those on whom Mr Blair lavished his deepest love have seen their reputations annihilated for doing his bidding – and having been left to swing in the wind, they now flit around the outskirts of public life like tragicomic spectres. But the destruction of Lord Levy seems somehow the saddest because he had climbed the furthest, from the single room in Hackney where he spent his earliest years to the kingly and presidential palaces of the world, and has had the most precipitous fall. -- Matthew Norman in the Independent

Then they [John and Courtney Coventry] witnessed an extraordinary exchange. Lord Levy was taking a call when the Prime Minister walked over to him and started to speak. Courtney said: “Lord Levy held up his hand and said, ‘Not now, Tony,’ and went back to his phone call. The Prime Minister turned to walk away and Lord Levy said, ‘Tony, wait, I need to speak to you.’

“I thought, ‘My God, what a way to talk to a Prime Minister.’ But Mr Blair stood there like a puppet on a string while Levy continued his phone call for at least a couple of minutes. Then he turned to the Prime Minister without apology for keeping him waiting and launched into a conversation about the importance of the evening. Here was the leader of your Government being treated like a child. Jane Hogarth, Lord Levy and Tony Blair all acted like this was normal.”

Having walked to the bus stop, avoiding a small family of travelling ants along the way, an elderly lady waiting there, I guess in her early 90's told me: the police were interested in a meeting with Ms. Covenrty in relation to an "off the cuff" remark by her goodself, so police believed ould be able to provide them with a new lead.

I proceeded to thank the well informed lady and continued on my merry way.

She makes me want to get into politics... or the police.. or fundraising.. I know I'll question her :)

So they flew Courtney Coventry in to London, met her with a plain clothes police escort at the airport but they had no idea what she was going to say? Somehow I dont believe it. More likely it went like this, " OOPS We tried to sneak Courtney Coventry in to be a witness in cash for honours but got caught when she was met by photographers at the airport and her hotel.. now what do we do? I know lets claim we fly anyone over who says they want to make a statement and that we didn't know what she would say any it wasnt any good when we found out." Sure we beleive you. I bet we find she is secretly interviewed at a later date. They must have known what her statement would be or why go to all the expense and trouble? If not Ive got several friends in the US and Canada who will happily give the Met a ring and say they may have useful info for a holiday. Sorry Met Police ... You got Caught sneaking a witness in, nice try though to get out of it

Courtney Coventry is stunning... I would give her an honour for free There is a great pic of her in the Sun arriving at the airport. The mail and sun say porn star but the movie the mail says is a porn "dirt merchant" is a comedy with a few well known actors in it , If she is a porn star I'd love to know in what

Lord LEVY, Sleazy Levy, Lord Cashpoint, no matter what you call him he is GUILTY but seems to have all the right friends and thus avoiding charges If Courtney Coventry has information that confirms this it shouldnt be written off just because these papers are having a go at her for something completely unrelated. As the other commentor said I hardly think the police flew her in with no evidence that she could be a valuable witness.

anyonebutgordon - love your screen name but you are wrong about this porn movie dirt merchant is a comedy with anthony michael hall , danny masterson, david faustino etc

Julian said...

Yep, and Jenna Jameson is just a fun-loving girl with a flair for comedic acting, Its a sex comedy with lowkey porn, much like the rather bad British 1970's porno comedy films.

Stop making ridiculous apologies for the woman unless you have some interest in clearing her name, in which case come out from behind your anonymity.

Pretty girl, why is she being questioned?

Mark said...

The whole thing is odd. Why would the police fly her to London unless she had valuable info they wanted. Telegraph has a statement from police saying they wanted to use her as a witness, mail has comment from police the following day after the press circus around her saying she had useless info. It does not make sense. So she obviously has info implicating some of the suspects in the inquiry. When news of her visit appears in the papers the police then issue a statement saying they did not mean any embarrassment to Blair on his last day. Sounds more like they tried to bring her in quietly to give a formal statement and got caught out when the press found she was coming then got pressure by Blair et al to do a double take.

I smell a rat, a big huge labour rat.
