O/T Libour and Windrush

[TheBlackHorse]

... the appalling BBC and Libour have teamed up to make this a political issue as the May local elections approach. It was an admin not a political cock up. It was Libour who started the 'hostile environment' in 2008/09. It was the Jamaican racist government who briefed the UK gov that repatriated Jamaicans should use patois and local accents or they may find life 'difficult' back in Jamland. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

The BBC is a joke now appalling organisation, at least two or three gender related issues every day that really should be on the pages of a girls magazine. Today it's Tom Daly and his baby (again) and 'bi***ual lighting' in the film indistry. These two topics, hot on the heels of the gay vultures that raised a baby and some bloke, proposing to his boyfriend in a burger bar, is this real news?

If the SWP ( now known as Labour ) wanted to make political gain they should wheel out Diane Abbott . Surely she can't fcuk this one up !

It's a conspiracy - the entire world is setting out to make sure the Tories get spanked in local elections says black man from Derbyshire who thinks with horsey brain.

... thank you Snobhead 2. As one who tends towards accuracy when you spout forth from your lofty throne I'm not surprised you ignore the truth when it suits you. All we need now is Snobhead 1 to back you up ...

If the Labour party had got Patricia Scotland in charge they would walk it. What a lady ..... first black woman QC, wonderfully articulate in her arguments and appears a thoroughly nice honest person with real brains. She's proud to be British and wants to expand trade with the Commonwealth big time. She makes the current crop of Labour's front bench mongrels look just what they are ......... amateur placard waving Tw'ts.

Yep fits right in.

In November 2016 political blogger Guido Fawkes published extracts from leaked documents exposing Scotland's extravagant spending on redecorating her grace and favor apartment in Mayfair, London. Costs included £4,020 for a cupboard, £5,000 for a new vanity unit, wallpaper at a cost of £10,500, £5,000 on refurbishing a safe, and a Trompe-l'œil style door for £4,000.

Scotland denied the claims in a statement posted on the Commonwealth’s website, insisting there had been "no extravagance at all" and explained that the spending was agreed by Kamalesh Sharma, the Commonwealth’s secretary-general from 2008 to 2016

In 2009 Scotland employed Lolo Tapui, an illegal immigrant. Tapui had been using a forged passport for the period up to and including December 2008. Scotland began to employ Tapui in January 2009. Tapui was later jailed for eight months for fraud, possessing a false identity stamp, and overstaying her UK visa. At her trial Tapui admitted to having been paid £95,000 by the Daily Mail. She was later deported to her native Tonga.


Scotland, who was Attorney General at the time, had earlier been subjected to a penalty of £5,000 for not keeping, as an employer, copies of documents used to check Tapui's immigration status, under rules Scotland helped draft as a Home Office minister. The investigation by the UK Border Agency found that Scotland did not "knowingly" employ an illegal worker. Yearh, right.

Fair do's Tricko ........ I didn't know this. To be honest my only knowledge of the lady and the little I know of her is limited to the Windrush scandal and subsequent Commonwealth meeting and her interviews which I based my opinion upon.
