Brown under fire over donations

Quote from: BBC Web Shite
Gordon Brown's competence as PM has come under fire during heated Commons exchanges following the donations row.
David Cameron said there had been "disaster after disaster" since Mr Brown took over, and asked if he was "cut out for the job".

 point: I wish I'd seen PMQs today!

I saw a bit of his Press Conference yesterday ~ he looks genuinely bewildered by it all.
You know that look the bull gets just before the matador finishes him off .... that is how Brown is looking.
The problem is he is stubborn as a mule (mixing metaphors here, sorry) and I don't really think Cameron has the "killer" instinct needed to finish him off.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Oooooh! Harriet says she acted in good faith when she accepted the cash.

But the Electoral Commission has referred the whole matter to the Police.  whistle:

And the leader of the Scottish Labour Party has now admitted to accepting an illegal payment supporting her campaign.

Jack Dromey, Labour Party Treasurer, says the donations were clearly wrong ....
.....................pity he didn't tell his wife Harriet Harman.

Meanwhile the BBC says that Harriet now claims that she  (or "her team") were seeking funding and were told that they might care to contact this front woman for a donation by another candidate for the deputy leadership who had turned down the offer.  eeek:
I wonder who that might have been ~ Hilarious Benn perhaps?

Talk about honour among thieves.  point:

It turns out the Gordon Brown's team tipped Harriet off as to where there was some spare cash ~ despite having refused to accept money from that same source. Devious Scots B@st@rd is the phrase that comes to mind.


And Mr 'Permatan' Peter Hain has also been caught "failing to declare donations" but says it was a "genuine administrative error"

They're all crooks ~ sorry for stating the blindingly obvious.  whistle:

Did any of you see Question Time last night? Caroline Flint was on it trying to defend the indefensible. As an aside, she is one mean looking woman - wouldn't want to meet her when she's got the painters in...

Jack Straw in denying that he or GB knew anything tries to be funny (I think)


Quote
He added that "for a long time this was an unknown unknown. The moment it became a known known, we got on to it."
