jp1 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Nice to see Our Dear Leader repaying the 'goodwill' by bailing out the Northern Chumps New Labour's favourite think-tank and source of policy ideas IPPR pockets £1/2 million from Northern Rock. Gordon Brown's personal pollster, Deborah Mattinson, advises Northern Rock on corporate responsibility programmes. Presumably it was she who advised giving circa half-a-million quid to New Labour's IPPR think-tank. How many more of Gordon's circle have their hand in the Northern Rock till? Lucky we've Gordons 'New Politics', cash for honours is soo last year. Edited September 19, 2007 by jp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R K Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Derek Wanless, Gordon's NHS advisor, is a non-exec director and chairman of Northern Rock's audit and risk committee. (posted on here the other day). They've all had their noses in the trough. Looks like NR has been a front for keeping the economy in the North East afloat by lending £100 billion to the building/housing industry there, providing 6,000 direct jobs and "trickle down" from director's pay, keeping local "charities" and football clubs in business etc. There was no way Gordon was going to let Mervyn make an example of them with all that at stake. If someone can demonstrate a direct link from one of these NR charitable donations and labour party coffers then it could get a tad difficult.

nmarks Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Meet me at 10am outside the houses of parliament. It's time for a revolution. If this is true (sounds likely) then the parallels with the friendship between Kenneth Lee (Ken Lay) and Dubya are striking. It is smacks of corruption of the highest order.

Realistbear Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The sham will last for a few more days or weeks and then Gordon will be at the IMF/World Bank asking for a bailout.
