This story is a bit confused, not least by the Mayor's office issuing denials and spin. The few facts that are clear are that the Mayor's Deputy Race Adviser, Rosemary Emodi, had visited Kamp Afrika, a holiday resort in Nigeria. Errol Walters, who styles himself the Managing Director of Brixton Base Limited, also claimed to represent the Mayor's Office. According to the Nigerian press, Errol offered Kamp Afrika support and promised London offices for the project, to support the Nigerian diaspora, courtesy of the Mayor's taxpayers.
Questioned by the BBC, Rosemary Emodi denied attending, she later admitted she had attended and was forced to resign. (Googling quickly comes up with pictures of her in full African costume at the resort) The Mayor's Office denies any support for the project. Brixton Base is at the centre of an investigation into £2m in grants allegedly given because of links to Jasper. The sleaze is lapping at Ken's door. He still supports Lee Jasper unreservedly...

Can we have some 'backstory' on this, for those of us who don't live in the metropolis ? Who on earth is this Jasper character for a start ? What is Brixton Base when it is at home ?
And isn't 'Afrika' [sic] spelt with a 'c' ??
phone call to Kens office
grasper -
Ken id like a job please with loads of perks big wads in salary for doing nothing and no accountability.
Ken -
ok, what qualifications have you got
Grasper -
errrr none!
Ken -
well i dont know it would be a tough one.
grasper -
is it cause i is black?
Ken -
why didnt you say so - i thought you were white! no jobs free but ill invent a few this afternoon and if anyone opposes it ill scream `racist` at them.
how does that sound?
Grasper -
great stuff! but can i still claim my giro?
Living in London must have quite a surreal air to it, being governed by a band of Trotsky-lite nutters whose snouts are sore from all that trough-snaffling.
It's enought to make a Mayor turn to drink
Er. Sorry missed a point here. Does any of this have anything to do with tax paying Londoners?
Backstory is available in plentiful supply on the London Evening Standard site. Try searching for Jasper and/or Gilligan on the site and then select 'most recent' first. Also Kate Hoey has expressed her views - one of the very few NuLab MPs with any spine.
Afrika is as spelled here - it's an organisation not a country.
And according to City Hall this woman 'resigned'. Yes indeed...
Oh, and do yourself a favour and get a name, or borrow one.
They're all scumbag lefty parasites Anon 9:09pm
She's quite cute, though. Guido must be losing his touch, as he doesn't seem to have noticed.
Anon 9:09
Let me explain, (sound of fist hitting face).
Lovely stuff Guido, though read it elsewhere first.
It is beginning to unravel, the more the public see, the closer people will look. He's done for.
Though the fucking undead bastard has already made one comeback.
Can someone stick a fucking stake through the cunt's heart this time?
Ken, you are on borrowed time, one only hopes you may do time 'à la Archer'. We live in hope.
Please please please let this be the first domino leading via slimeball livingnewt to rocking horse central.
where have all the trolls gone?
come out, come out wherever you are!
fucking lightweights.
yes, yes, yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,yes,

back boris
thick as thieves, do you seriously think any of the nu lab non-jobbers work this late? You'll notice that they only seem to post between 10am and 4pm, rarely between noon and 2pm and never at weekends.
At this time of night they are tucked up in bed dreaming of diversity pathways and real nappy strategies
It's quite incredible that money is being dished out simply on the basis of people being black. Ken's always done this yet racism from the left doesn't seem to count.
But Commissar Ken seems to be more fireproof than even Teflon Tony was. Will any of this stick?
Or will he down another swig of Jock-Juice and emerge with that now familiar triumphal shit-eating grin?
Camp Africa? Ooooooooooooh Matron!
Ken's surrounding himself with "race" advisors. See how several Muslim charities came out in support of him or the recent Lee Jasper vs. Trevor Philips spat.
Sadly as a Londoner, all we get is the choice between Ken's porkbarreling guff and Boris's comedy show.
In the meantime, we have the most expensive transport system in the world, which is also subject to huge delays and large parts of it are shut at weekends. Roads are back to the same congestion before the congestion charge. The streets are filthy with litter. We still have a red light area in Soho. Council tax, and the London Assembly component, is always inflation busting. Crime is up but most people don't even bother to report burglaries and minor assaults.
London's a wonderful City but we have a a self-obsessed berk running it and the alternative is the same: face it Boris isn't going to fix anything. The bloke knows his classics, his classic cars and his women, but he hasn't run a whelk stall. Maybe he's a nice guy, but he's just another politico-media man.
[by the way, I'm no Paddick stooge, he's a self-obsessed berk too who appears to be saying anything to grab a few votes]
Dont overlook the fact that Commissioner Blair OWES Livingstone BIGTIME.
No further action!!!
I wonder if Livingslime's race advisory team could do any more to destroy any last hopes of racial harmony in London. Stupid question really, it wouldn't be in the racist cunt's interest.
If we didn't have another ZaNuLab apparatchik as head of the Plod, some of this festering pool of slime would have had their collars felt by now.
I hope Brian Paddick gets a look in in the Lodon Mayoral election. More honest and honourable than the other two. And he would take on Blair - the other one - in the Met. I think he's got a lot to offer.
PS What a laugh - Newsnight have got Nigel Lawson on talking about the economy. Remember Black Wednesday. Pots/kettle/black
10.14 nine to five fascists you mean? hmmm... I'm still going to have a quick troll patrol. but good point. their lack of interest in politics will be their undoing.
Afrika? Corrrr!
Jasper & Livingstone are both corrupt, pocket lining, crony employing, incompetent racist cunts who dishonestly, and with breathtaking hypocrisy,shout racism whenever rightly challenged on their disgraceful behaviour and records of constant failure. This is what you get when the hard left run anything and NuLab ought to be ashamed of themselves for allowing Krooked Ken back into the fold just because he beat the useless Frank Dobson.
And so it goes on. Leninslime is now accused of giving the job of running his personal campaign website to a crony paid by the GLA.

I know "The Guardian" but its in most papers.
Anyone care to watch me take it to the European Courts under Human Rights Act:
Article 3 - First Protocol
Right to free elections
The High Contracting Parties undertake to hold free elections at reasonable intervals by secret ballot, under conditions which will ensure the free expression of the opinion of the people in the choice of the legislature.
Me et al - v - United Kingdom
The plaintiff contends that the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland willfully and with malice of forethought breach the plaintiffs rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 vis-a-vis Article Three of the First Protocol and that the defendant did knowingly and with forseeability impede the plaintiffs rights etc. etc. (course it will be better written is is 11.59pm).

Take your head out of your arse, fuckwit. Lawson spoke more sense than the rest of them on Newsnight. The UK has had a seven year credit binge leaving millions of consumers and the government in record debt, now it's time to pay up. A house price crash and rising unemployment, shops closing, business failures, repos, etc will be the shape of things in Britain for the next few years.

Brixton Bases Code of Conduct makes interesting reading. Very strong on Conflicts of Interest.
From The Herald, though it was on newsnight Scotland as well.
It seems the Electoral Commission does'nt know what to do. Here's a clue,CALL THE POLICE IN!!
Anybody got a copy of this document?
Watchdog admits probe ‘weakness’
KEVIN SCHOFIELD January 23 2008
The Electoral Commission has admitted fundamental weaknesses in its ability to probe allegations of illegal donations to political parties.
An official document seen by The Herald shows that detailed procedures and guidance on how investigations should be carried out remain "in development", despite the fact that high-profile probes into allegations against senior Labour figures, including Scottish leader Wendy Alexander, are currently under way.
The 12-page paper, entitled Handling Allegations, also reveals that the commission does not have "any prescribed method for making decisions" and that it is "unclear" when discussions with the UK Ministry of Justice on increasing the range of sanctions it can hand down will be concluded.
The commission also admits many cases will go unpunished even if they find the law has been broken.

So this gal got sacked for lying to the BBC and Ken about her trip to Nigeria? Yeah right! Ken and his mates seem to have little difficulty about lying to Londoners or dipping their sticky hands in our pockets. This idiot didn't hitch-hike her way to Nigeria, so perhaps Ken or Jasper would be kind enough to identify exactly who authorised the expenditure associated with this particular jolly? Or is intimidation and thievery at City Hall so widespread, so routine, that no-one now bothers to check?
This stupid scallywag-ette is a sacrificial lamb, thrown to the wolves to divert public gaze from the systematic looting of City Hall by Ken, Jasper and their klepto mates. It won't wash.No doubt Ms Emowhatever will get a nice payoff complete with 'confidentiality clause' once the rumpus has died down. What a bent bunch of tossers!
ill be voting Richard Barnbrook of the BNP, he would close all these tax draining racism generating race relation non jobs in a second.
and about time to!
Boris - bah, hes no more than PC `daves` puppet! he would take london from social engineering communist corruption and waste to business corruption and backhanders as the Tories always do, all the while selling us out to the communist EU who would scrap London as our capital.
all for a few pieces of silver, top jobs backhanders and more corruption - its time to get the traitors out - its time for Britain to get up off its knees.
starting with our once proud capital of Great Britain - London.
BLOG CENSORSHIP ALERT!
In order to preserve the crumbling credibility of THE BIG LIE , the British government, and probably other dhimmi governments, are working on ways to gag, censor and and shutdown the counter-Jihadist blogosphere.
There is currently a discusion of how to prepare for these attacks on freedom of expression at http://ibloga.blogspot.com/2008/01/najistani-on-why-britain-may-crack-down.html
Why is this Councillor not being investigated?
A Wokingham borough Conservative councillor, Abdul Loyes has been accused of trying to defraud and compromise an Early businessman and his company.
The complaint from Rudolph Hodgman claimed that Councillor Loyes tried to involve his firm, called On Site Training Assessment and Certification in illegal immigration and human trafficking and falsely obtained loans using his name. Easy enough stuff to investigate I would have thought.
However the standards committee for Wokingham Borough Council made the following statement after recieving the complaint:
“With regards the Code of Conduct, it is noted from the information provided that Cllr Loyes’ alleged conduct appears to have occurred in his private capacity and not while he was acting in an official capacity as a member of the authority.”
“The Standards Board for England has decided that the allegation should not be referred to an ethical standards officer for investigation.”
Now I would have though an allegation of people smuggling worthy of investigation and not just by the Standards Board. But these are strange times we live in. I suspect we will be reading more as Mr Hodgman is standing by his claims.

"I hope Brian Paddick gets a look in in the Lodon Mayoral election."
Lib-dim, hence a total waste of space.
Besides, we need to have Boris loose cannoning in city hall, and well away from parliament before the next general election...
What kind of traditional punishments do they have in Nigeria? Whatever they are, I think that we should use them to punish these corrupt tossers, I'm sure that they'd be a lot more appropriate than any slap on the wrist they'll get under our shitty legal system. If we're going to have multiculturalism let's do it properly.
OT - BB Radio 4 News has just informed us that Heath Ledger was found by his "housekeeper".
But my newspaper says it was his daily masseuse. There is no reason to suppose she was a hooker - I assume she was a real masseuse.
Can't the bbc "EVER" tell us the truth? Do they tell lies of no consequence simply to keep in practise?
The left mock the deference of the establishment towards Royalty during the abdication crisis etc. But the left-media will say ANYTHING to protect Blair, Livingslime, the Snot Gobbler etc. (Imagine if Maggie had picked her nose and ate it on TV!!!)
Blair almost resigned in 2004. Tell us why!
etc etc
What? Nigerians over here involved in FRAUD? What? Good Heavens!!!!!!! Unheard of....isn't it?
What? Ken Livingstone cronies involved in chucking taxpayers money down the drain, chucking it at organisations and indivuduals involved in fraudulent activities, lining their own pockets in the process? Have I been involved in a car crash and been transported back in time to the 1970's to the temple of nasty municipal socialism at the GLC?
Hello I am writing to you please to help my old friend Rosemary who is incarcerated in the infamous Kamp Efrika and I need to release £1,000,00 tied up in government bonds in de Congo to help pay for a rescue operation. I have arranged the operation with two very experienced people in Lon-Don town, the great Dr Livingstone. If you could send me a money transfer for £5,000 pounds towards the initial payment whne I cash in de bonds I will send you £30,000 just send me your bank details etc etc Sir Lee Grasper at the GLC in London.
Crashed and burned out - well I hope you got a good night's rest. What Robbie also forgot was that that Black Wednesday was Norman Lamont's watch, not Lawson. Lawson shall forever remain a political hero for reducing the top rate of tax from 80% to 40% and actually managing to improve public finances into the bargain - it's a well known fact that if you reduce the top rate of tax the tax take usually increases as the net benefit of complicated avoidance goes out the window. I agrre that Lawson spoke a lot of sense on Newsnight, including damning with faint praise Broon, Darling and Balls. He stated that their statements that the UK economy was strong was "beside the point" as "none of them are economic forecasters" and "it's their job to try to instil confidence" - i.e. their role is as propagandists and serious people should not take their statements at face value. But the best comment at the moment comes from yesterday's Lex on the government's Northern Rock "plan" - "when a government on the run is being advised by an investment bank on the make, forget about clarity". Priceless!
As for Paddick, why all the fuss. He rose to the rank of Deputy Assistant Commissioner by being a pain in the neck, confused everyone with the cannabis bollocks in Brixton, again sanctioned by Captain Beaujolais and the rest of the scaredy cats at 'The Yard', and for some reason was so bad he pissed off the arch Liberal in chage after 'Lord' Stevens departure Sir ian Bliar. And you have to be really bad to do that. he was an overpaid, over promoted ineffectual police officer - why do people think he'll be any good as Da mayor?
They will get away with it. Leninsbone long ago realised he had to get the local Plodmeister on board if he wanted to keep his slate clean. Job done. Evenin' all.
Can we have a running rogues gallery of Hain, That Woman North of the Border, Hatchet Annie, The Newt et al with a running total of their dodgy donations/ misappropiration?
Paddick posted on a website that a little bit of anarchy was no bad thing.
Sorry to be pompous, but when property rights are undermined and social codes mocked, terror follows.
Paddick is a light weight and a fool with no sense of history.
It has to be Boris.
Re earlier, I did know that Lawson wasn't Chancellor at the time of Black Wednesday but as he had been responsible for the creation of the boom which led up to it, I thought it ridiculous that he was wheeled on to Newsnight as some sort of wise sage. Look where he's ended up. http://www.cet.co.uk/Personnel.htm#
'Today' on BBC Radio 4 has just run an GLA inspired 'correction' asserting that no public funds were involved in the Nigerian trip, as this was paid for by the airline. What a crock of shite! Indeed, if the airline did pay for Jasper's mate's jaunt, the seriousness of the matter would be much, much worse. It's long been a criminal offence for public officials to accept undeclared gifts and hospitality from third parties in the course of carrying out their duties. Moreover, the law provides for corruption to be presumed where the receipt of any monies, gifts or consideration has been proved. The GLA can't seriously be suggesting that this woman resigned because she lied about where she took a private, winter break - it was 'nuffin to do wiv GLA buisness, honest guv! This is all the more unlikely as the lady in question would appear to be a lawyer or some sort(just Google her name).
Why not vote for the blonde bird?
Don't know who she is but she sure as hell looks better than the others
The Mayor of London job is a complete joke, isn't it? It really only has powers to run London transport - everything else is run by the borough councils. Extraordinary that it carries such a high profile, and no suprise that the only people running for the job are people obsessed with their own media image but with no other discernible talent. No wonder nobody can be arsed to vote in the Mayoral elections. No wonder that loony Ken is forever padding his part by opening "foreign offices" in Venezuela and such like.
Robbie - the immediate cause of Black Wednesday was Major and Lamont putting Sterling into ERM at too high a value relative to the D Mark (remember that?). The underlying cause may well have been the bust following Lawson's boom but it would be churlish to proclaim, when arising hungover, that it was all the fault of the bastard who hosted the party.
political correctness is specifically designed to neutralise dissent. in this case ken has overplayed his hand, probably because his brain is so addled with alcohol. ken doesn't care if you're black , white or labour red. the only colour ken sees is cash green. ken likes power and being treated like a somebody. he will operate with anybody to keep himself in power. what makes me angry is how he claims to help the youths of london but is actually stuffing his and his friends pockets with young peoples resources. as far as he's concerned the youths who should get those funds that ken's fiddling can kiss ken's arse. gordon brown, garry glitter, jasper and ken all work for satan.
Yes ! Despite Michael Martin's shite chairing of the debate, Nick Clegg has got Gordon to say the N-Word !!
What a result !!
I could have told the world she was in Nigeria! The lying bitch sent me an e-mail whist there, telling me her uncle Ken had passed away leaving her 42 million which she wanted help in shifting.
Come to think of it, maybe I dismissed her offer to hastily...
Ken is a penis. I hope he catches aids.
The mayor's office is like some mini-banana republic; the Africanisation of Uk politics is upon us; expect it to worsen.
"Kamp Afrika" sounds like the sequel to "Boys from Brazil".
More criminal investigations for that slimey newt Livingstone's favourite ethnic vote-buying organisations!
