Lord Mandelson said unless they disqualified themselves as directors he would take legal action to bar them from running a firm again. He went on: "They set up 30 different companies to cream off value. A lot found its way to their pockets. They feathered their nests."
Looks like Nick Robinson finally woke uphttp://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/nickrobinson/2009/09/noone_can_rewrite_political_history.html
But it is Mandelson?s career since returning to government in 2008 which is truly remarkable.First, it is astonishing that he agreed to come back at all. The caricature of the man as lover of the high-life, with his expensive furniture, clothes, homes and holidays, might suggest that once he left the European Commission he might want to earn some serious cash on various boards, and spent more time on yachts. By agreeing to return to the front-line, at a time when Labour was behind in the polls and being widely written off, he displayed genuine loyalty to the Labour Party and its values.
Even the word "cunt" now seems inadequate.
