    And again.

    SITTING in a glass-fronted office in the headquarters of his health company last week, a visibly upset Dr Chai Patel finally decided to “break ranks”.

    He was ready to talk about his nomination for a seat in the House of Lords — and the money he gave to the Labour party, which proposed him.

    “I’ve broken the dam,” he said. “I’ve got nothing to hide.”
    and

    He says he has been subjected to a campaign of innuendo and suspicion. He has been investigated by the Appointments Commission, which vets nominations for peerages, without the chance to hear any allegations against his character or to speak in his defence.
    Looks like he upset Blair then.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
