Labours "Nice'n'Sleazy does it" government

Nice'n'Sleazy does it ... I blogged last week about how the last couple of months of this wretched government has come to resemble the end of the Callaghan Labour government ..... well now their last refuge 'Tory Sleaze' looks like its gone as well with not one, not two, but three (yes three!) ex govt ministers having to be suspended because they were offering to 'influence' legislation on behalf of clients .....

I can't remember it ever being so bad ...

Remember 'Lord Irvine's wallpaper', when he spent £650,000 in refurbishment of his official Westminster residence (£59,000 - £400 per roll - hand-printed wallpaper, two beds at a cost of £16,000, £3,000 toilet etc etc).

Or how about John Prescott's 'Cocktail Sausage', I am referring to his 'affair' of state, in which his mistress Tracey Temple referred to his manhood as being "more chipolata than saveloy"sausage i.e. about two inches long. This ignores his official cars, his subsidised union flat, and 'grace and favour' house or willingness to follow Lord Irvine's decorating tastes by spending over £100k on his flat.

Maybe the many doubts expressed about the veracity of Alastair Campbell's briefs to the press, parliament and public enquiries, is still on your mind?

The fact that Peter Mandelson is still in power after twice having to resign from office because of little 'mix ups', always amazes me. This government try to claim the moral high ground, but at least the Tories who were disgraced were not brought back in to power again.

I still have a laugh at Ron Davies's 'badger watching' and 'moment of madness' ....err yes, well woodland sex in public parks and laybyes with strange men could be described that way!

There are lots more of these sleazy incidents over the last 13 yrs, but I suspect that the core Labour voters don't actually care, they just want their welfare benefits protected (the 8 million adult non workers of the UK), or their cushy perks in the public sector jobs such as the ever expanding NHS, and to hell with the rest of the country.

  1. With the election now called, its a pity Channel 4 don't do a resume of all the sleaze and corruption of the past decade? I seem to recall that the last 'Major' parlaiment was pilloried for these issues in the media but to my mind there has been a lot more dripping sleaze under Blair and Brown.
