Courageous Gordon to Use Alistair as Human Shield

The PM's monthly news conference will be a laugh* in ten minutes. Notice it is called the PM's monthly news conference, yet this month he is bringing Alistair Darling along to take the blame for the inevitable questions about Northern Crock. He couldn't do his usual Macavity trick and disappear so he is going to try to hide behind his Darling Chancellor instead.

*Maybe not.

Here's hoping Darling grows a spine, and bitch-slaps Brown live on air..

I can hear Darling live on Radio 5 now. He's talking rubbish, whilst he dithers on Northern Rock, the world is laughing at British banking regulation.

And with Brown/Darling assuming responsibility for £60 billion of Northern Rock's liabilities, Brown's just forfeited the right to hector European leaders on economic liberalism...

Nick Robinson has revealed that Brown's people gave them all a mince pie before proceedings. This was clearly to lighten them up so they aren't too agressive in their questioning.

So will Brown be asked why he is increasing flood defence budgets by £200m over four years, and why he can find the funds for Northern Crock?

I don't suppose he will hear questions about Durhamgate and Wee Duggie's role in granting planning permission.

Will the hacks ask about Strathclyde Police's investigation of Wee Wendy?

If Northern Crock is such a good firm, why wasn't it taken over by Lloyds/TSB, or is their something nasty under the bedrock of Granite?

Will McStalin announce that the HMRC have found the missing disks?

It would be great to hear that Phain and Harpic have filed their accounts.

But will tractor output have risen for the 126th month in a row?

There may be no evidence that honours were given for cash, but fact remains that Labour actively connived to circumvent their own rules on political donations by disguising them as non-disclosable loans instead of openly accepting donations. It is this deceit at the heart of the government that has done so much to dent their credibility, especially as they came to power on a platform of cleaning up politics.

What a sad end to the career of Mervyn King as Bank of England governor. He has been comprehensively fitted up, humiliated and outflanked by Gordon Brown and will end up being blamed by the government for the economic meltdown coming next year.

Perhaps King should have done the decent thing and resigned after he was outvoted on that reckless interest rate cut in August 2005?

Whatever, his memoirs should make interesting reading.

It's all going to get very nasty in 2008.

Best thing is put ALL the nation's money into Northern Rock for safekeeping. Confiscate everybody's money and throw it into Northern Rock. Every fucking penny of it. And if we run out of all the money we can go and borrow some from those cruel murdering, dog-eating, organ-snatching, slope-eyed commie bastards with too many fucking teeth by half, over in fucking Beijing or wwhatever they call it. If we do it prudently, paying close attention to the sermonising voices in our heids, all, fuck me, will be well.

We are governed by fucking nutters, who are opposed by nutters and the whole fucking circus is reported to us by nutters.

Concerning the sub-prime crisis, Xymphora has this to say:-

"From Chinese to Deli: a short prehistory of the sub-prime crisis

"The structure of the financial instruments that led inexorably to the sub-prime crisis that threatens to bring down the entire world banking system was plotted by a handful of men who had weekly meetings. Dinner was brought in for each meeting. It started out Chinese, but they eventually switched to deli, as Chinese was deemed not to be kosher. Note the denials at the end of the Bloomberg article that the derivative structure set up by the planners, which allowed them to bet against the sub-prime loans being good, has anything to do with the ensuing crisis. It appears that they set the whole system up in anticipation that it would collapse.

"If you wanted to be a cutting-edge conspiracy theorist you would correlate the billionaires who made much of their money off derivatives related to sub-prime loans – you’d be looking at ‘real estate’ hedge finds – and donations to the major American political parties, particularly to the Democrats, and particularly to Hillary Clinton. While some find Wall Street donations to Democrats incongruous (note the code: “Hedge-fund managers tend to live near the top of cosmopolitan, culturally liberal societies.”), it is notable that the ‘tax-and-spend’ Democrats – well, at least Clinton and Schumer – have been resisting efforts to raise effective tax rates on hedge fund profits."

US T Bonds - the money is from UK pension funds which will be diving out of equities and UK property ahead of the great crash of '08. Dollar assets are cheap and yields are OK. T Bond credit risk safer than houses. If dollar recovers, selling them will generate more sterling. Almost a no-brainer.

That was a shameful performance from Brown this morning. It is supposed to be the Prime Minister's press conference but he took his hapless Chancellor and chief fall guy Darling along to answer all the awkward economic and NR questions.

Pathetic and cowardly Brown. You never saw Tony Blair do that, he stood up for himself and his decisions even when they went badly wrong at times. He didn't hide behind others.

OT, but it's getting nasty as the Blairites come out of the woodwork.

Quote:

Labour MPs were "appalled" by Gordon Brown's call for "British jobs for British workers", according to the former home secretary, Fungus the Bogeyman.

Mr Bogeyman has previously pledged loyalty to the Prime Minister

Mr Bogeyman said that they were outraged by the speech, made at this year's Labour Party conference, but did not speak out because they wanted to remain loyal to the Prime Minister.

He also accused Mr Brown of failing to support his senior ministers and described the appointment of Lord Malloch-Brown to the Foreign Office as "foolish".

Mr Bogeyman has become the first senior member of Tony Blair's administration to formally break ranks and criticise Mr Brown's leadership.

He knows his career in politics is over and can say what he likes. This is a shame, because Mr Bogeyman was one of the finest Home Secretaries this country has ever known, albeit rather obese and self-satisfied; and his beard has given rise to speculation that he might be an East Anglian jihadist.

He is 76.

Interesting piece at the Jewish News Weekly:

Jews are central players in U.K. financing scandals

by dinah spritzer
jta

A campaign financing scandal in which two of the principal players are Jewish is dealing a heavy blow to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s already weakened administration.

The involvement of two Jews at the center of the very public scandal is also making many British Jews uncomfortable, but Jewish community leaders say it has not caused any alarming anti-Jewish media coverage or anti-Semitic fallout.

“You can’t escape from the fact that the main dramatis personae in this saga are Jews,” said Antony Lerman, the executive director of the London-based Institute for Jewish Policy Research. “Not only are they Jewish, they are committed Jews.”

But Lerman said “the media’s coverage on this issue has been fair.”

As might be expected, those under scrutiny have links with an Israeli advocacy organization — fueling the cadre of anti-Israeli conspiracy theorists.

The crisis began at the end of November, when the British media reported that real estate magnate David Abrahams anonymously donated 670,000 British pounds, or $1.37 million, to Brown’s center-left Labor Party over the past four years.

Anonymous donations above 5,000 pounds, or around $10,000, are illegal in Britain following the enactment of a law in 2000 — spearheaded by the Labor Party — that was intended to make political influence peddling more transparent.

Politicians described Abrahams in the British press as a “hanger-on” who, unable to win elections for higher office, sought influence through his money.

The Abrahams donations, made through four intermediaries, implicated chief Labor Party fundraiser Jon Mendelsohn, 40, who also is the director of the Labor Friends of Israel. The group of 44 legislators supports Israel and Middle East peace.

Mendelsohn and Abrahams reportedly met through the Labor Friends of Israel.

Mendelsohn said he was unaware of the donations until September and admitted he tried to handle the matter quietly, without informing the country’s electoral commission. Abrahams claims Mendelsohn called his intermediary method “a good idea” and knew of his donations as far back as April.

Abrahams, who owns six real estate firms in Newcastle, is being investigated by the police for his role in the affair.

This is not the first political scandal for Abrahams. In 1991 he had to quit his Parliament campaign when the Sunday Sun newspaper reported that he was paying a woman to act as his wife.

The woman who says she was paid to play Abrahams’ wife told the Daily Telegraph that Abrahams has a 7-foot pink statue of Elvis Presley and enormous piles of cash lying around his Newcastle home.

With such titillating details, “Donorgate,” as the donations drama was been dubbed, has received extensive front-page and television coverage in Britain.

Brown is being accused by the opposing Tories and Liberal Democrats of running a party awash in sleaze.

The Labor Party secretary has resigned and numerous others are expected to be ousted, including a number of Parliament members who did not declare the source of their donations.

It is the scale of the scandal that has diffused the Jewish factor, said Rabbi Andrew Goldstein of the Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue in a London suburb.

“The focus is on Brown being incompetent rather than on Jewish plots,” he said. “The press is not focusing on the Jewish connection. I have not seen any anti-Israel or anti-Semitism in the coverage.”

This contrasts with the affair of Lord Levy, the chief fundraiser for Tony Blair, the former prime minister and now a Middle East envoy.

Levy was investigated by the police this year and last over accusations that wealthy supporters provided Labor with secret loans in return for positions in the House of Lords, the upper house of Parliament.

“The media never failed to mention Levy was a prominent Jew,” said Jewish Londoner Richard Millet.

I am a serving NCO in the British Army. If the government - which, I might add, I didn't even get a chance to vote against due to the mess that they made of Service voting - want to rape me for an additional eighteen hundred pounds, can I please ask that they use it to buy me a decent modern rifle, a pair of proper boots and some trousers that don't fall apart the third time they're ironed? Otherwise, I'm afraid that I shan't make a very impressive corpse when I get shot in some pointless squabble initiated by Labour.

This thought bears heavily on my mind whenever I am faced with the choice of turning my gun towards Iraq or towards Westminster.

"US T Bonds - the money is from UK pension funds which will be diving out of equities and UK property ahead of the great crash of '08."

Possibly. But 25% of UK pension funds would need to be re-invested in 12 months for this to be the cause. At a time when the Chinese and Japanese are pulling out. And this would assume that these funds have the flexibility to opt into whatever investment vehicle they like - which generally is not the case.


"Dollar assets are cheap and yields are OK."

Not in £ terms they aren't. Remember $ is 5% down against £ at present. So investors would be betting that the UK is far weaker than the US - but overlooking the EU.

"If dollar recovers, selling them will generate more sterling."

If. That would be a bet on the UK basket-case economy being an even bigger basket-case than the US basket case economy. In any case you are overlooking the fact that the US economy requires these bonds to be sold to foreigners and with the Chinese and Japanese throwing in the towel it is awfully convenient for the US that the UK has stepped up to the plate to take up the shortfall.

Fair comment, Geordie Scoot, but pension funds don't normally bet on exchange rate fluctuations to this level. Bit risky, and if you were to do so the Eurozone would be a better bet since the Euro is required by law to remain firm in the face of rising inflation. By betting on the US $ you are betting that the UK will print £ faster than the US will print $.
