Look you muppets, it's simple innit.
King Kenny give loadsamoney to some of the brothers for projects and fings what dont git audited...and the bruvvers support 'is campaign for re election wiv sum percent of what hei gives 'em.
Its a win win, learned in a Zanu Labour training camp. He ent got the power to give lordships and medals so he sticks with giving filthy lucre. Money makes the world go round, the world go round.......Clever eh?

2008-01-21T22:16:00.000Z

Dispatches wasn't much really all that great - nothing really new and should have focussed more on arch shakedown merchant Lee Jasper passing money off to his mates

Stories about Ken on the piss have been knocking around for years and anyone who read the stories about the party bust up a few years ago should have been aware. It was also fairly obvious he'd had a skinful before the concentration camp guard incident.

Still there was enough there to remind us all what an obnoxious self serving shit Livingstone is particularly about the way he co-opts GLA employees to help him get re-elected

Hopefully this will help to get him removed at the election

Dougal/45Govt Re "Hindus aren't so easily bought"

This is perfectly true. I have spent a lot of time in Nepal (population mostly Hindu, some Bhuddist) and they are wonderfully honest people, bar the odd rotten egg you'll find anywhere. They are also hard working and thoroughly decent folk with high moral standards yet an easygoing take on life.

It certainly taught me not to tar all "asians" with the same brush.

2008-01-21T20:18:00.000Z

I've always thought that Boris is a complete twit. Likeable and well bred and very genuine, but a twit nonetheless. Sort of a cross between hugh grant, fozzy bear and bertie wooster.

Ken must be livid at the thought of losing to him. In years to come people will assess their love of psephology by asking "Did you stay up for Ken?"

mint, I don't know that one, but I do know a survey was carried out last year and 17% of mps admitted to being alcohol dependent. alcohol and drug tests should be mandatory before voting. no more crafty joints for jacqui and co. is there anybody on the frontbench who didn't used to be a pothead?

"Genuine question: why do you never hear about Hindu charities getting up to these kind of tricks?"

I couldn't answer that one; I haven't noticed any Sikh charities being involved in any funny goings on either... I suppose it must be something to do with the kind of books they read.

Some religions seem to feel the need to influence politicians a lot more than others do. I'd suggest that all the Abrahamic religions should be treated with extreme caution; they all seem to be obsessed with trying to influence the political process to bring it into line with their weird moralities. Maybe things would be better if they were all stoned.

2008-01-21T17:33:00.000Z

Dougal - maybe the Hindus aren't so easily bought, like Leninslime's other backers. In any event I'm afraid that it is simply in the Muslim tradition to cheat or worse electorally.
We are the mugs to let one group of people drive a coach and horses through lax charity regulations, while stamping on others.
It's a bit like EU regs, the Holy Grail for us, a negotiating point for the rest of Europe. We the indigenous English are the village idiots.

Genuine question: why do you never hear about Hindu charities getting up to these kind of tricks?

Why indeed do you not see Hindu charities asking for Leninslime titbits?

I live in a part of London with a big Hindu community, good and bad like the rest of us, but they don't seem to find it necessary to have everything they do funded by the Govt/Mayor/Local Authority.

2008-01-21T17:11:00.000Z

When I was a student, I used to live in those northern inner cities which had seen vast tracts of old housing bought up by muslim groups and rented out to students.

We used to have to pay our rent directly to a muslim charity which neatly allowed them to avoid income tax, because the money was a 'charitable donation'.

Often charming, but what a bunch of rule benders and cheaters.

Maybe Labours game plan is to put the entire muslim population on the public payroll.

2008-01-21T16:32:00.000Z

Yes. These charities are very rarely charities in the commonly understood way. They are not the mechanisms for good works, sourced from rattling tins outside Marks and spencers.

These are little more then Quangos, most of them derive their funds entirely from the public purse.

2008-01-21T16:27:00.000Z

Allowable political activity?

I thought all these charities were meant to refrain totally from any political activity or else lose their charitable status? Oops silly me - that is Independant schools that have to jump through hoops, not honest, hard working Muslim charities!

2008-01-21T16:19:00.000Z

I wonder how much of Londoners' Council and Ken's Pension Fund Top-up Taxes make their way into donations to Muslim "charities". I wouldn't be surprised if electoral bribery in the guise of cultural development is something that Ken's been up to for years.

2008-01-21T16:17:00.000Z

And what links to Islamofascists do these charities have, or are they "clean".

A rap on the knuckles is not good enough, if they had been Anglo-Saxon charities they would have been crucified unless of course they were supporting a pro-governmental line like anti-hunt legislation.
