Cash for honours: no charges


You have to be shitting me.

Non-crook, Lord LevyUPDATE, FRIDAY MORNING: Questions to be asked after this fucking sham farrago of a decision, certainly. No evidence? Really? Did the Attorney-General step back from the decision, as promised by Lord Goldsmith and, subsequently, Gordon Brown? And how long before Yates of the Yard is directing traffic in Anglesey?

This leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Even Labour members and activists know that the Blair government was swapping baubles for money on a scale not seen in recent times (not that our own hands were clean, of course). The fact remains that donors whose gifts would otherwise have been recorded and in the public domain were deliberately asked to turn their donations into loans so as to hide them from public scrutiny. Again, this happened with both parties, but Labour raised it to the level of an artform.

I find the decision quite extraordinary. And Guido won't be watching Levy doing the perp-walk any time soon.

Bastards. I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.

Gutted, but they would never let it happen. On the plus side, makes the case of more state funding of parties weaker if they can't say pay us or we have to be corrupt!

So I guess we can expect to see a multitude of gongs finding their way to CPS soon.

Come on guys, let's be reasonable. Certain people give large sums of money to the Labour party. The exact same people get peerages. How on earth could these people be charged under a law that prevents the sale of peerages?

Sarcasm never works as well when written down, does it?

There's something well fucking rotten in the state of Denmark...

A truly despicable end to this investigation.

I look forward to the laughable explanation from the CPS.

Cunts.

What a pair of brass-necked Labourite sleazebags John McTernan and Tony Wright are (quelle surprise) with their comments about "oh, nobody believes it anyway" and "leave politics alone to sort itself out." Breathtakingly outrageous. At least these remarks have been captured for posterity so that in 1,000 years time, when (as per Hawking) we've left the Earth and are all living in zero gravity modules in space, people can still have the experience of their jaw hitting the floor.
