Labour Sleaze

[Ding-Dong]

Is this Labour government out-sleazing the last Tory government?

I seem to recall in 1997 that good old Tone said his government would be "whiter than white" (loud guffaws!!!)

[Loosehead]

I think when it comes to sleaze the Tories where rank amateurs. New Labour has taken "sleaze" to a new level.

[loudickson71]

when did he say 'whiter than white'?

Blunkett just sold his shares in DNA. No returns accepted. Sold as seen.

Rank amateurs ! thats a good one...I'd need a dozen posts to list the endless episodes of greed, sexual scandal, lying to parliament, cover ups, kickbacks, and various other dodgy practices under the tories..[even louder guffaws!!!]

Our leader likes to take free holidays at the expense of corrupt foreign leaders . Did any others do that?

[jake-the-peg]

Er well Margaret Thatcher gave free holidays to corrupt mudering foreign presidents like Pinochet, supported arpartheid South Africa and sold Hawk jets to Indonesia knowing that they had a history of using them on civilians in East Timor (Now independant and recognised).

Then there was Aitkin and Archer - any Labour ministers served prison sentences yet?

And for the icing on the cake we have Matrix-Churchill selling arms to Iraq and Alan Clark admitting under oath that he had been economical with the truth about the policy of arms sales to Iraq.

I think in the light of that little lot Blunkett looks like pretty small beer to me!

How quickly they forget!

Jake and Mike, they are all the same - bent, dishonest liars that look after themselves and each other. Put them all on an island (along with the Royal parasites) and use them for target practice for the armed forces!!

loudickson, Blunkett sold his shares because he got rumbled. He, like Mandleson, should not be anywhere near any form of office/authority. They are scum of the lowest order!!

Sorry, the actual quote was "purer than pure" (double loud guffaws)
