Labour's Anathematising of Hain & Morgan the Organ

Guido has heard that it was made clear to Steve Morgan, Peter Hain's sleazy campaign manager, that this year he was not welcome at the recent Welsh Labour Party conference. Guido has checked with the Labour Party press office and they will only confirm that Morgan did not attend. (Nor incidentally did the disgraced former Secretary of State for Wales).

That is a little strange for a man who likes to think of himself as an important Welsh Labour Party mover and shaker, usually he can be found glad handing and ingratiating himself with the Welsh Labour Party's big-wigs in the bars. Wonder why he didn't attend? Why miss out on all those photo and client-opportunities?

Could it be that he was a little embarrassed about his efforts on behalf of Hillary Clinton? Surely not. Could it be that despite all the spin from Morgan Allen Moore about the lobbyist industry's APPC professional standards investigation going nowhere, it is getting seriously embarrassing for Morgan?

Morgan spun a line to the public affairs trade press that the complaint had been lodged by an aggrieved Tory ex-employee and would go nowhere. However when the APPC Management Committee met on 5 February they concluded there was a cause for complaint and referred it to the APPC’s Professional Practices Panel.

International spin merchants Grayling were rumoured to be on the verge of a multi-million pound takeover deal for MAM until this scandal blew-up and they pulled out days before the deal was to be agreed. Grayling were one of the founders of the APPC. Guido tried to get confirmation from David Thomas, Grayling's finance director, without success...

Not at Welsh Labour conference? That must be a first for him! Used to be a big thing in the diary every year.

I'm sure Steve Morgan's secretary could tell you where he was - if she can speak with her mouth full, that is...

Off topic (ish) but my MS Outlook has just reminded me it's Gordie Brown's birthday tomorrow (20 Feb) - has Guido planned anything suitable?

You Catholics with your fancy "anathematising".

He is being given the "cold shoulder" because everyone things he is going to get turned over in the News of the Screws at any moment.

Plus the fact that he is the middle of a criminal investigation.

Labour don't want him in any pictures with Gordon do they?

Off topic but BBC News website right now is a complete Northern Crock free zone. Bet Broon is grateful to Fidel for doing him a favour on that one.

Apologies in advance for a high stupidity level, but what exactly has this bloke done - as far as we know that is???

I know he's menna be dead dodgy, but I think I musta missed some posts and I've not quite got my head around what he's done wrong, apart from being welsh and thinking that he could get phain elected.

explanations gratefully received ;)

fucking been an eon said...

Guido old chap, may I just take this opportunity to thank you for all the donkey-work you've done in the process of dragging down the lunatic JCV impersonator Hain from his parliamentary pedestal. These whites who stick up for blacks are so utterly confused...or is he defending the whites now? I'm buggered if I know or care anymore...as long as he gets HIS!

GRASPER REPORTED FOR FLOUTING ELECTION RULES

The obnoxious racist Lee Grasper was today accused of flouting City Hall rules banning senior staff from political campaigning.

Grasper continues to draw £120,000 a year despite being suspended from office as mayoral aide, yet still goes around banging the drum for Leninslime.

I am going to be working hard with Operation Black Vote and a host of other organisations to register as many of our people to vote...

The voting strength of African, Caribbean, Asian communities means nobody can get elected here without the support of these groups.

The last remark saying all we need to know about Ken's obsession with stoking up minorities.

the groundsman's (sore) pussy said...

Guido, do you really have to keep mentioning that fellow Hain? I'm owned by the former head groundsman of the infamously desecrated cricket pitch - and he harbours a ridiculously exponential venom for Hain to this very day. (Never mind that Hain apparently had nothing to do with that one.) Whenever, he hears Hain mentioned on the radio or TV he stops whatever he is doing, puts on a pair of hob-nailed ex-army boots and and converts my arse through the nearest available window into the awaiting gooseberry bushes. Much as I admire your tireless hounding of this cricket-corrupting cad, would you please now consider giving your crusade a rest - as my well-battered bum has become a regular pin-cushion over the last couple of months.

PS: Did you notice how his colleagues on Any Questions changed their tune after the announcement of the police investigation? No more 'benefit of the doubt' decisions after that eh? Howzat and out!

PPS: Guido, is it true that Peter Hain is Peter Tatchell's gay lover?

I think Grayling owe you a LARGE LOSER'S fee, Guido, for saving them the embarrassment of embracing the Maesteg Maggot to their ample bosom.

As for Pensioner Phain....who????

I thought Gordon would jump at the chance to stand next to a man with a reputedly 12" knob.

I heard the reason he wasn't there was because he was getting married. Good reason if you ask me.

There's convenient (as my wife would say).

Getting married again! The guy is a sucker for punishment. Some of us remember him when he was a humble steelworker with 2 kids and a bimbo for a wife. You have to admire the way he seems to have made a fortune with very little ability and on the back of meeting people like Phil Woolas when they were humble members of NOLS. All capitalists should use Mr. Morgan's career as an example of what can be achieved through hardwork and the bullshit. Good Luck to him I say. I suppose Morgan 's autobiography will have the title of 'From Militant Tendency to Millionaire in 10 Easy lessons'. Bound to be a best seller in this world of spin and bull

Welsh Wizard said...

Anyone know if PR Freshwater UK'S John Underwood was Brown-nosing at the Welsh Labour Party conference...or is he persona non grata as well???

Is it true that Morgan's girlfriend/wife is Arthur Scargill's granddaughter?
