Peter Mandleson:

Question to Peter Mandelson on his website 24 July 2004: "Is being a good liar a prerequisite to being a successful MP?", Mandelson's lying answer: "Certainly not. Honesty is the best policy, especially in politics." (classic)

So crap they sacked him twice.
Mandleson , as we can see, has been sacked twice from the Cabinet, once for dodgy dealings with a passport seeking Indian billionaire businessmen donating a million to the millennium dome funds and another time for being caught out with unofficial loans to pay off a mortgage on a swanky little 'des res'. He is also responsible for the Millennium Dome fraud fiasco; the blokes who tried to rob the Jewels from the Dome were more honest than the average new labour politician. Mandleson is a typical Middle Class bully, the sort who uses political power to get at the Working Class and to feather his nest. A creepy person.

Lets give Sonae 1.95 Million
Just to top the icing on the cake, Mandy turns up here to wine and dine Sonae and issue a £1.95 million sweetener to them just before he got the sack. The cherry on the cake as it were which may have actually made Sonaes minds up to stay here. Other deals as regards taxes, further grants and incentives etc may have been cut. As Secretary of State for Trade and Industry he gave Sonae the money from the Department of Trade and Industry funds (DTI). Money goes to money, and Kirkbys working class residents get poisoned for the next 10 years or so. All in a days work for a man who spends a reputed £2000 on a suit and still looks like he is slumming it. An aura of seediness hangs around him just like the Sonae smoke and dust hangs around Kirkby. No matter how exclusive his tailor may be, he cannot hide the general sleaziness which exudes from him.

Mandy a Spook?*
Mandys parachuting into the labour party via the communist party is thought by some to be a move prompted by the security services, he has all the classic traits of a spy or infiltrator and looking at his role in the labour party and its transformation into a party for the Middle Class, it seems hard to believe Mandy was not working to an agenda shared by others. However, supposition apart, he has done us working class a favour as the labour party is excess baggage for us nowadays, and not worth saving. To those still on this sinking ship of new labour, you only need look to Mandelsons latest promotion as EU Commissioner to see that favouritism and nepotism still reign supreme. Kirkby Times has been making this point on a local level for 3 years now. Corruption and favouritism is endemic in the new labour party from the local councils to the very highest levels of ministerial office and above. Local kids here get told to be honest, yet our politicians are blatantly lying, cheating and swindling, and being rewarded for it, and even promoted. (* note: 'spook' is a term given to government spies or agents tasked with active political manipulation such as 'agent provocateurs.' MI5 and MI6, Special Branch etc are organisations which are tasked with monitoring/infiltrating political movements and sometimes controlling them to a point. The UK has a long history of planting such people in political organisations/parties.) Seems familiar?

3 Strikes and you're in.
Blair once spoke of giving criminals a '3 strikes and your out' rule, whereby if they committed 3 offences they would be jailed. But if you are a politician, it's like the rule is reversed to some '3 strikes and your in' ruling.

Peter Mandleson: One Law for him............

In late 1996 Peter Mandelson purchased a house in London's trendy Notting Hill for £450,000, while Labour was still out of government. He paid for this mainly with a personal loan (an interest free loan!!!) from Geoffrey Robinson of £373,000, plus a mortgage of £150,000. Mandy saved himself a VERY tidy packet on interest rates. He never declared this on the MP's register of interests despite telling us all on several occasions how 'clean' and 'sleaze free' the labour party were. There was an investigation into the man he got the loan off, the former paymaster general, Geoffrey Robinson, another new labour millionaire.
Robinson in turn resigned himself and claimed that it was Mandleson who made the moves in securing the loan off him; this is enough to hang Mandleson with. But Blair will not do so. The matter was dropped.
"We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich." Slime-bag Peter Mandleson kissing the backside of Rich Americans on a 'fact finding mission' funded by the mug UK tax payers.(Financial Times, 23 October 1998)

Mandelson and Mortgage Fraud
It was later disclosed that Mandelson had failed to declare the loan to the Britannia building society when applying for a mortgage. Making false claims in these matters is technically a criminal offence, but when you're Peter Mandleson, or good buddies with the Prime Minister, the normal rules may not quite apply. Had he declared the loan, he would not have got his mortgage of £150,000. As you may have guessed, the building society decided not to bring criminal proceedings. From living in a one bedroom flat in Islington to now owning a hugely desirable house which must surely be worth over £1 Million by now, Mandleson does not really regret anything nor do his rich mates (?) see anything wrong in what he has done. Working Class people go to jail for a LOT less than Mandy has gotten away with.(see here) Working class people are thrown into jail for defrauding £8000, or not paying a TV License. This creep gets promoted. By moving from North London, Sister Mandelson has now moved amongst the star struck circles to which he sees himself belonging. Dozens of 'stars' live in the streets around Northumberland Place where Mr Mandelson four storey house is situated. A rat amongst rats some may say.

When Irish Eyes are burning with Hatred
Unbelievably, just ten months after being caught out for his memory lapse concerning hundreds of thousands of pounds, Phoney Blair had kissed and made up with his old chum from way back and Mandy returned to the Cabinet as Northern Ireland Secretary. This was a highly sensitive post which would have seen both Loyalists and Republicans agree for once that here was a man who would never do any good in Ireland and a man who would never be trusted by the Irish people or the British. It's funny how the paramilitaries from both sides would have had the old firing finger twitching, Mo Mowlem apparently told Madelson to 'f*** off' on a number of occasions, Mo Mowlem got pushed out as does everyone who crosses swords with Mandy. Mandleson (codename Bobby) seems to stir up ill feeling amongst the working class in particular, and this can be dangerous in Ireland more so than the rest of the UK. We should have made him permanent secretary there.

Mandy and The Passport Incident
Peter Mandelson then resigned [a polite term to describe being sacked] as the Northern Ireland Secretary, after controversy over whether or not he helped an Indian billionaire secure a British passport. A lot of Billionaires have fled to the UK under new labour, its become a sort of haven for dodgy foreigners who want to evade various searching financial questions in their own countries. They bring the money here, kiss the backside of Blair or Mandelson at the Festival of Light and we give them a passport, or so it seems.

Lets give a Passport to anyone except Mohammed al Fayed
Mandelson had denied lobbying on behalf of Srichand Hinduja, whose citizenship application was granted shortly after he pledged to donate £1 million to the Millennium Dome project. Until then, Hinduja had done nothing for this Country, yet having a British Passport would be very handy if, say, you were charged or wanted in another Country. Meanwhile Mohammed Al Fayed still does not have a passport, work that one out! Maybe he should have hijacked a plane with some Afghans or smuggled himself on an Articulated Lorry and claimed asylum instead of giving millions in taxes and charity donations.

Back to the Hinduja Scandal
Mandy made an appearance at a swanky party thrown by the Hindujas and praised the billionaire brothers at a time when the government was assessing one of them for a British passport. Mandy loves money and feels humbled in its presence. The presence of Mr Mandelson, who was then a minister without portfolio, a kind of cabinet prefect reporting back to headmaster Blair, is evidence of the extent of his association with the controversial businessmen. The party, held in the penthouse suite of the Hindujas' London headquarters, was also attended by Foreign Office officials, including David Broad, who was soon afterwards appointed director of the Hinduja Foundation in London. That's not the only co-incidence either involving the Hindujas who are estimated to have £6 Billion in assets. Their lavish dinners in London for Diwali, the Hindu festival of light, or perhaps the festival of greedy capitalist passport seeking freeloaders, has had Peter Mandelson as a guest. The Hinduja brothers were linked to scandals involving corruption in India, and arms dealing. Maybe they could have had a good chat with Peter Mandelson. The Hinduja brothers claim to be devout Hindus, but if they can cosy up with Mandelson, they are not the sort of people who mean any good to the working class of England
It's funny how Srichand Hinduja can land a British Passport. He donated 1 million to the daft 'faith zone' in the failed Dome which basically was a tent for a one night party in the year 2000, attended by Mandy and his young boyfriend and other middle class freeloading fraudulent spongers. Its enough to make you throw up when you think WE paid for the damn Dome.

The same sleaze
So, all in all we can simply see the same new labour sleaze continuing, and Mandleson has now been rewarded again and given another very important and well paying Job as European Commissioner. Mr Sleaze himself said he hopes to "make Brussels more accountable". Is he joking? Does he really think we believe he could be accountable to anyone except himself? The same Mandleson was involved with handing out large sums of money to Sonae here in Kirkby. Wherever Mandleson appears, it seems that those with money end up with more money, after all, a man who states "We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich", is really saying he is giving the go ahead for the rich and upper class and monied classes to continue their thieving and corruption.
Mandleson is an untrustworthy, sly and devious man, (like Clive Soley?) and for Blair to give him this 3rd Chance of a bite at the political cherry, makes one wonder how close Blair and Mandy really are. Mandleson is gay, but it is noticeable that stories of Mandy's young Brazillian boyfriend never make the British papers, whilst other MP's and people in the public eye seem to find themselves in the spotlight when they have younger exotic lovers, be they male or female. Why can this be?

One Last Hinduja link
In 2001 it was revealed that Mandelson's partner, Reinaldo da Silva, a Brazilian in his 20's, formerly lived with Howell James, the former aide of ex-Prime Minister John Major, who is now the Hindujas' main media spokesman. This fact in itself proves nothing, but it does make you wonder at what else goes on in these elite circles of power. Like many working class people, I feel that our Country itself is tainted by the behaviour of our elected representatives. Mandelson himself, the so called 'Prince[ss]of Darkness, seems to have a dubious moral outlook on life that seems to see the wrongs of others with absolute clarity, yet fails to see himself as most others see him. Tony Blair has that same problem.

Could Blair's Protection of Elite Paedophile Rings Spell the End For His Career?
For more sinister scandals see the article entitled 'Blair's Protection of Elite Paedophile Rings Spells the End For His Career', this is not an article hosted by Kirkby Times but it is as well that people know what new LABOUR are doing, or what has been alleged. They are covering something up, that much is certain.
