Come in Tony your time is up!


Labour fundraiser Levy arrested

Lord Levy is a close friend of Tony Blair
Tony Blair's chief fundraiser Lord Levy has been arrested in connection with the "cash-for-honours" inquiry by the Metropolitan Police.

Lord Levy, 61, made his money in the 1960s and 1970s, managing singers including Alvin Stardust and Chris Rea.

He was one of the key figures in the securing of the multi-million pound loans to the party last year.

I wish, I really do, that they come and take that prat Bliar away in handcuffs. Now that would secure his place in history, the corrupt lying liar that he is.

Excellent news. Though I'm sure His Lordship knows enough of the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, or whatever it is you backwards folks call the equivalent of the Lords of Session, to secure himself a light sentence...

[ShadesWolf]

He will just pay the police off or get is best mate Bliar to knight the guy in charge and they will drop the case.

I say InsaneApache and ShadesWolf are a double login. They must be the same bloke. Just look at all those threads today:

post 1: Britain is going down the drain! It's all Tony's fault!

*logs, out, logs in under other name*

post 3: Damn right, mate! Down with Bliar!

I can assure you that I would never be associated with Wolverhapton Wanderers....after all, it is well known that there are only one Wanderers, all others are merely facsimilies of the 'original'.

I sincerely hope that clears things up.

:sweatdrop:
oops!!! wrong Shade.....sorry guy, OK so we're better than Port Vale then.....

and there's more...


It is hard to think of any other event that could prove to be as damaging to Tony Blair as the arrest of his chief fundraiser Lord Levy.


Some believe Tony Blair may be the next person questioned

Indeed, in the wake of the arrest and release on bail of Lord Levy, the question dominating Westminster is whether the prime minister himself will now face police questioning.

And some are openly wondering whether the damage already done could be enough to bring down the prime minister

can 'teflon' Tony wriggle out of this one?.....probably.

Soon to be Mr. Levy answers his bail conditions.


The police officer heading the "cash for peerages" inquiry has told MPs the arrest of Lord Levy was a key part of the probe - and not a "symbolic" move.

Deputy assistant commissioner John Yates also told MPs that two submissions of material had been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Labour MP Tony Wright said MPs were told police had so far interviewed 48 people, 13 under caution.

Lord Levy, who denies wrongdoing, is currently being questioned by police.

Conservatives: cash for questions.
Labour: cash for peerages.

To use a fairly large brush, they are all the same. Some are better at hiding their true nature, but once they are in power for long enough the same thing happens.

I don't think that the Conservatives will be any better. I think that the system needs to be reviewed, and personally I'd have more power to the monarch to check up on these self serving parasites.

Now im confused :help:

As far as I know we have two impersonators
- Wycombe
- Bolton.

Neither of these teams are from Yorkshire, so im must be missing something. As cant believe a Yorkshireman would follow a Lanc team :laugh4:

[InsaneApache]

Do try to keep up. I am a Mancunian, man and boy. I just live in Yorkshire, as a sort of missionary thingy. :laugh4:

I don't think either of of the 'other' Wanderers were around in 1874. :inquisitive: So you copycats have a lot to live up to. :laugh4:

Her Britannic Majesty's Ministers of State for Science, Lord Sainsbury, and Industry, Ian McCartney, have been questioned (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5178730.stm)on the matter now, also

The heat is on....


LABOUR’S chief fundraiser has implicated Tony Blair as the key figure in the cash-for-honours scandal, a well-placed source has revealed.


A prosecution source said: “Levy told the police that everything he did was for the top man. It wasn’t for anybody else, just for Blair. That’s why the PM has to be interviewed.”

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2426786,00.html

My take on this is that Blair will not be arrested or prosecuted........as it won't be 'in the public interest'. Although if this is true he should IMO, have the book thrown at him.

I wonder if he knows a barrister? :laugh4:

Well, they are politicians. If they do anything, look where the money is coming and going from. Hopefully Blair will get into trouble for this...
