More Hypocrisy From The "principled" Jeremy Corbyn As He Appoints Fraudster.

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

Jeremy Corbyn has appointed a convicted electoral registration fraudster to his parliamentary office.

Marsha-Jane Thompson, (a criminal found guilty of fraudulently completing over 100 voter registration forms and actually forging the signatures on them in a devious attempt to sway an election result) is now not only working for the top dog in the Labour Party, but has actually been promoted to his parliamentary office.

That's all you need to know about Corbyn and his "principles". Pffff, you can't trust Labour on Law and Order.

Reminds me of Neil Hamilton {Cash for Questions ,} and also the Jonathan Aitken affair ,18 months in prison , both TORY MPs of course , now they were real Cons.

This woman has been appointed AFTER she's committed a crime.

It wasn't a devious attempt the sway an election result, it was fraud (to the value of £21.50). How is employing an ex-petty criminal hypocrisy?

>>>both TORY MPs of course , now they were real Cons.

I seem to remember the only people actually put in prison for the MPs expenses scandal a few years ago were all LABOUR MPs or Lords.

Another member of the CONs was Lord Taylor of Warwick, he did porridge also they can;t help it can they . True Blues

Those who think that it is just one party (whether it be red, blue, yellow, green...) that has issues over fraud (or sex offences or racism or tax evasion or other issues raised on here) are deluded.

Oh my! And that's being overlooked? Ouch!

[gulliver1]

F/F even the Queen has an offshore Bank account , now she is real Blue blood. Now who is deluded?.

I've just read, for all his huffing and puffing, Mc Donnell's pension is being managed offshore too!

[naomi24]

Offshore investments aren't the issue here. The fact that Corbyn has appointed someone who is guilty of tampering with voter registration forms and forging signatures, is.

[New Judge]

"It wasn't a devious attempt the sway an election result, it was fraud (to the value of £21.50)."

How does that square with this, then:

"Marsha-Jane Thompson, Momentum’s social media co-ordinator, was sentenced to 100 hours’ community punishment after registering more than 100 fake voters in the east London borough of Newham. Appearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 29 March 2006, Ms Thompson admitted filling out and submitting multiple voter registration forms herself, including forging signatures…"

Fraud to the value of £21.50 would not have been dealt with in the Crown Court unless the defendant denied the charge and opted for trial in the Crown Court but Ms Thompson admitted the allegation. Furthermore it would be most unlikely to have attracted a community order with 100 hours of unpaid work.

I cannot see any other reason why somebody would complete multiple registration forms by forging signatures unless it was part of a plot to sway an election result. It depends on your interpretation of the term "petty crime" but in my view any offence which is dealt with in the Crown Court (apart from those where the defendant has opted for trial there and which would otherwise be retained in the Magistrates' Court) can never be described as "petty".

Gulliver - are you able to grasp the concept that Labour also has wrong 'uns in its ranks?

Why, when it's pointed out Labour aren't (to use a Blair quote) "whiter than white, purer than pure" do you point out previous Tory wrongdoings?

If you think it detracts, or justifies, or lessens a Labour wrongdoing, then you couldn't be more wrong.

Cash for Questions - over 20 years ago.
Jonathan Aitken - 1999.
John Taylor (a bit more up to date - well done) - 2011.

Any comments on David Chaytor, Elliott Morley and Eric Illsley?
