Labours second largest donor is not even eligible to vote in a UK General Election.

The Mail on Sunday reporter Jonathan Oliver has uncovered, and published in the MoS today.
"The focus of the sleaze scandal engulfing the Government switched dramatically last night to the Labour Party's second biggest donor - an Iranian-born car dealer who is not even entitled to vote in general elections.
Mahmoud Khayami, a French citizen, has given a total of £830,000 in the past eight months, making him Labour's biggest individual backer after Lord Sainsbury.
The party said it would launch an investigation after The Mail on Sunday discovered that:
• Khayami made his first donation - of £500,000 - just 24 hours after becoming legally allowed to do so, by having his name added to the Electoral Roll.
• The tycoon - who runs a car dealership in California and has a villa in Cannes - had waited until the age of 77 before adding his name to the roll.
• Khayami is a close friend of Labour-supporting "fixer" Anthony Bailey, whose clients have included Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe regime, and whose own £500,000 donation was rejected by Labour because of fears it had come from foreign sources.
Even though his name is on the register, he is permitted to vote only in local and European ballots, not general elections.
Commentators said that while he was thus technically qualified to make party donations, the fact he had done so meant Labour was 'sailing close to the wind' on donation rules.
But Tory frontbencher Chris Grayling said: 'It is now very clear Gordon Brown had ordered a 'dash for cash' ahead of an early Election.' "

This report comes after a week of revelations about illegal (Jack Shaw’s words) funding of the Labour Party by Abrahmas, as a second Police Investigation is launched. Perhaps the Labour Party ought to read the laws that they pass a little more closely, since they clearly can not rely on having any common sense. Either that or they think they are above the law and can just carry on getting away with it. Time and again the Labour Party treat the public as fools and with contempt.
Paraphrasing Vince Cables career topping comment, “we have seen Stalin become Mr Bean in a week”

Quote of the day

Not so much Stalin as Mr Bean: Gordon Brown is made to play the fool in stage farce

"The House is punch drunk after a solid ten days of crisis non-management. There are almost too many to keep track of and the Labour-donor sleaze scandal is so complicated that it makes a bowl of spaghetti look straightforward. "

6 More Discs Lost

As the police search buildings belonging to TNT as they hunt for the two missing 24m data discs, the HMRC as admitted that another 6 disks have gone missing having apparently been posted on the 24th Oct from a tax credit office in Preston to Whitehall.
These discs contained recordings of telephone conversations between a tax credit claimant and the HMRC.
This rather effectively demonstrates that the ‘two discs’ episode is not the isolated incident that Darling and Brown would prefer us to believe and the balance of probability now resides firmly in the camp of those who suggest that the security of personal data is not held high by the HMRC, (an understatement if ever there was one) this is a cultural reality rather than singular incompetence.

Brown slated by five former defence chiefs in The Lords

Admiral Lord Boyce was highly critical of Brown’s decision to give the defence secretary a second job as secretary for Scotland.
"It is seen as an insult by our sailors, our soldiers and our airmen on the front line.
And I know because I have reason to speak to them a lot. And it is certainly a demonstration of the disinterest and some might say contempt that the prime minister and his government has for our armed forces.
And it shows an appalling lack of judgement at a time when our people are being killed and they are being maimed."
Another former defence chief, General Lord Guthrie, said Mr Brown had been "unsympathetic" to the military.
Lord Guthrie said: "In my experience... he [Gordon Brown] was a most unsympathetic chancellor of the exchequer as far as defence was concerned - and the only senior Cabinet minister who avoided coming to the Ministry of Defence to be briefed by our staff on our problems."
General Sir Richard Dannatt also raised the issue of the strain placed on resources by operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Too Little Too Late

In the wake of the largest data security breach this country has known, Brown orders spot checks of all government departments.

Of course what is now needed is a change in the culture, this can only be brought about by a change in the Government.

Who in there right mind can have any confidence in this shambolic government to act on their behalf?

Gordon Brown Fails to Protect 25m

Catastrophic Tuesday

As the full weight of the long and far reaching significance of the data protection failure becomes apparent, it only takes seconds to find who is actually to blame for this, a certain Gordon Brown. For it is he who preformed the shotgun wedding on HM Customs & Excise and Revenue in 2005. This cost-cutting exercise has now bitten back.

While all the papers ran front page today with this I think the FT summed it well.

"Mr Brown’s administration has failed in one of the first duties of government: to protect its citizens. Never mind breaches of data protection laws. Fraudsters armed with details of bank accounts, national insurance numbers, and the names of almost every child in the country could wreak identity theft havoc on an un-dreamed-of scale."

Lost and Found, Can you help? Who is this?

Is this really the centralising Stalinistic, tax payers money wasting chappie who until recently hid in No. 11 Downing Street?

Can this much dust really gather this quickly?



Thankfully Yes!

Brown’s speech under the spot light.

In Brown’s 2007 conference speech, Gordon Brown pledged that unless contract cleaners in hospitals meet the highest standards of cleanliness they will lose their contract. Was this supposed to be an earth shuttering revelation, a moment of clear thinking, what's the procedure at the moment, then? His party has had 10 years to clean them up. MRSA has quadrupled and our old and vulnerable are dying of C-diff, a hospital acquired infection, one that continues to cause suffering and deaths in Maidstone Hospital.

Looking at his aspirations for Britain, it is all more of the same. Ten years on the aspirations have not changed, much needs to be done. Labour has failed to deliver in many key areas.
Child poverty, social mobility, youth unemployment, basic literacy and crime are still unsolved problems. In some of these areas things have gone back, not forward - youth unemployment is worse, violent gun crime is higher.
Let us consider some simple facts and some of Brown’s misrepresentations;
· The social mobility gap is wider than it has ever been
· The health gap is as wide now as in Victorian Times
· 1 in 4 of our youngsters leave primary school without basic requirements in literacy and numeracy.
· Youth unemployment in Kent is around 52% (16-17 year-olds) demonstrating our education system continues to fail significant numbers of our children.
· 200,000 pensioners live below the poverty line
· You cannot deport gun-toting criminals if they are from the EU – the EU won’t allow you , (this is your que to sign EU referendum Petitions in the posts below)
· Brown can not DO Britishness; How can he champion Britishness when his party presided over the break up of the Union? Devolved legislatures in Wales and Scotland and failed to address the iniquitous West Lothian question. Ie Scottish MP’s continue to vote on English laws that effect only England while English MP’s have not reciprocal vote on Scottish matters. This is undemocratic.
· Furthermore Brown makes no move to redressing the Barnett Formula which sends Maidstone council tax payers money to 'deprived' areas in Wales and particularly Scotland, with no assessment of the needs of Kent which has some of the highest pockets of deprivation.
· All of his 'new' announcements have been announced before, some many times. Why should we believe him?

Brown is no social reformer, his way is central control, larger state, ie more peoples lives directly in the control of the state, higher taxes and little to show for it. (Edited, Highlights supplied by Janice Small, Keep them coming)

Have your say, don't leave it to..............

Brown Trousers

While today the BBC News online report that Gordon Brown "after facing a series of crises since he became leader - bombings, floods, foot-and-mouth and, finally, Northern Rock - Mr Brown remains high in the opinion polls.
The "Brown bounce" shows no sign of abating and he appears to have weathered the Northern Rock storm and the expected erosion of trust in government in the wake of it."
The reality is that Brown hid in No. 10 leaving his reluctant Chancellor to fumble his way through the Rock fiasco.

Nice to see Tax payers money is put to bias reporting as usual.

Still no sign of Gordon

So, if Northern Rock crashes on the rocks it will be nationalised. Hmmm....That means the State will have a charge on,..... how many homes......well, it's the 5th largest mortgage lender so quite a few!

Personnal debt £1.3 Trillion, National deficit run up to £30Bn Hmmm.... 10 years ago we had a National Surplus.
