Naughty politicians are always in the news; I think the UK must have more than her fair share.
Ex-Tory MP, Craig Williams, has been charged with some type of 'insider information fraud', having placed a £100 bet on the date of the last UK general election (which, amazingly, he got right). Williams was a senior aide to Rishi Sunak, and presumably was privy to such 'secret' information; although why it should have been 'secret' I have no idea. Maybe the bookies shouldn't take bets on such silly things, and stick to the gee-gees. I can see another slap on the wrist on its way!

The fragrant Socialist MP Tulip Siddiq (above left) is in the poo again. She has until April 27th to attend court in Dhaka Bangladesh on corruption charges, and possibly seek bail. Failure to do so will now involve Interpol who have been put on 'red alert' and will arrest her anywhere in the world. She is still claiming not to have done anything wrong; but everyone facing a court hearing always says that!
I shall make no further comment about the situation above in Birmingham, other than to say that Labour's paymaster bin-men's Trade Union, Unite, have payed £7.6 Million to The Labour Party in recent times, and £10,000 to the fragrant Angela Rayner. They ain't going to budge until they get some return on what they paid for. Need one say more? A large group of Unite 'activist' bosses have now suggested that they sever their connection with Labour and (don't laugh) join with 'Lefty Greens' or 'Free Palestine activists' instead. Well they would wouldn't they! It has just been revealed that 28 of Starmer's 'ministers' are card-holding members of the Communist-leaning Unite Union. I believe the stink in Brum' has became even more atrocious!
Amazing!!! We often 'correctly' think of The Law being an Ass, but on Wednesday it proved itself to be quite sensible. The Highest Court in the UK, The Supreme Court, declared that Women are Women, and Men dressed as Women are NOT Women. It has never seemed a tricky dilemma to me; a Woman is someone who is born with female chromosomes, and that never changes. Men cannot have a chromosome transplant, it simply doesn't happen. This is not to say that Men who dress as Women don't have rights, of course they do, but they simply cannot legally change sex, enter Women's sports as a Woman, or use Women's loos or changing rooms. And Male criminals will no longer be allowed to say "I'm a Woman", and ask to go to a Woman's prison. At last we're seeing some common-bloody-sense. 'Biological sex' remains 'Biological sex'. Full stop! It now remains to be seen if the Trans-Snowflake-Woke-Brigade abide by the Court's declaration. Expect a few mis-spelt banners outside Downing Street.
Over in the USA it has been revealed that Kamala Harris (remember her?) paid some very large sums of money to her celebrity supporter friends, or their 'production companies'. Oprah received $1 Million, Cardi B $59,000, Beyoncé $165,000, and Lebron James $50,000. When you donate money to the election campaign of your preferred candidate, you really don't expect that money to be passed on to the candidate's chums in exchange for public support. We do expect our 'leaders' in the democratic West, to always do the right thing. With Harris and Tr*mp that seems to have been overlooked.
And finally. You may remember the photo I showed last week of an extraordinary 5 car 'pile-up' on the A1 involving 3 police cars. A man has now been charged. 20 year old Iranian Mazyar Azarbonyad has been arrested and charged with dangerous driving, no licence, no insurance, and a few other things. Well well well. Surprise surprise!
Tally-Ho!

The Trade Union Group of Labour MPs can proudly trace its history back to 1924. They have always been an influential "bridge" group within the broader Labour movement. By the way, Angela Rayner is "fragrant" because she uses a flannel and "Camay" soap to wash herself thoroughly every morning before brushing her teeth.
ReplyDeleteIt would be preferable if the Trade Union movement were more like their Soviet cousins. They build holiday resorts for their members, offer special medical treatment, and arrange all sorts of other social assistance. The one thing they don't do in Russia is to STRIKE all the time. It would be off to a Gulag with them if they did.
DeleteI have e-mailed Paul Nowak - General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress - to suggest building a massive holiday camp for binmen on Brighton seafront.
DeleteOn The Black Sea would be preferable; more Caviar.
DeleteAnother week of laughs from Westminster! Politics seem to attract those of a "shady" nature. I suppose they think that if a precentage of the population have voted for them, then it's OK to do as they please, until they get caught, then they adopt that puzzled "I didn't realise it was wrong" - rather like the PM does each time he's caught out!
ReplyDeleteI think you've hit the nail on the head there. Once they're elected they do as they please. Power corrupts.
DeleteFrom the fragrant to the not so fragrant and all types of smell-a-rat aromas in between.
ReplyDeleteYes, a good selection of stories this week.
DeleteJust so you know, 58 corporations that were facing federal investigations & enforcement lawsuits collectively gave $50 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Since the inauguration, cases against 11 have subsequently been dismissed and 6 have been halted. They're not even trying to hide the corruption.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't surprise me at all, it happens here too; people want influence. Usually, however, they don't pass the money on to their chums in exchange for advertising.
