Westward Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I thought the repellent little **** had been chucked out years ago. There's just something so utterly charmless about him that I'd bet he was bullied at school... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 He was pushed so Corbyn can look like he's tackling anti-semitism while keeping his own dubious views under his hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) He is a multi millionaire I don't suppose he give a flying fig about the Labour Party. It seems strange to me that during the years when he was mayor of London his salary was about £50.000 a year but his actual income was over £1 million pounds a year. Does that not generate some concern? Edited May 21, 2018 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that not generate some concern? I'm never surprised at the extent of the hypocrisy of people like him. Their greed, avarice and determination to enrich themselves at the expense of others makes me wonder how they can reconcile themselves to their stated political beliefs. Blair will stoop to any level to make another few mil and even the self styled left wing champion of the working classes, Tony Benn, fiddled his will to avoid inheritance tax, yet during his career he stood up in parliament many times to demand massive increases in inheritance tax. In reality, the Labour party and it's trade union masters probably have more greedy capitalists in their ranks than the Tories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I think I must have got the figures from Dianne Abbott's calculator! Perhaps the bankruptcy and hyper inflation is just a midway stepping stone?
