Victorian Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The Thomson pest has denied all wrongdoing. Appears to be hiding behind lack of any police complaints. In all likelihood he's probably been assured the party 'inquiry' will be inconclusive. And he will crawl back under his rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonlegions Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) And the BBC says its political reporting and programmes like Question Time are impartial . Looking like its nothing more than a propaganda out let for the far right Tories. The BBC has squandered it's reputation as an impartial public broadcaster. It has produced and still does some of the most thought provoking drama. Remember, When the Boat Comes in? The BBC as a current affairs, news, and political reporting medium is increasingly held up to contempt and ridicule. Quite rightly so. It was Andrew Neil I understand, some time back lamented the criticism of the BBC. Yet he has been part of the problem. Fiona Bruce now fronting QT, no better. What does the Beeb need? Assured independence, but... a completely new charter, a new code, a completely new board and a massive culling of what the Beeb euphemistically refers to as 'talent' in the news and current affairs division both in front of and behind the camera.

I've been on the sharp end of tendering for contracts- large firms run tenders at a loss - they put in unsustainable bids to get the business. They do this for a number of reasons 1- it kills off the small guys so that in the next tender there is no competition so they can hike their price 2- it increases their "balance book" so their shares rise. 3- it increases the likelihood of getting more contracts I don't believe any company should be allowed to tender for government contracts with a large debt, or rather , with a history of running contracts at a loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 In November 2018, the Crown Prosecution Service received a file of evidence from the Metropolitan Police relating to an allegation that Christopher Davies, MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, falsified two invoices in support of Parliamentary expenses claims. Following a review of the evidence, the CPS has today charged Mr Davies with two offences of making a false instrument and one offence of providing false or misleading information for allowance claims. He will appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on 22 March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to fight off protests with Rates Relief but the damage was done and the campaign for change had a head of steam. It was that pressure the made him lobby the Cabinet to let the change happen ahead of schedule in Scotland. Thatcher, it seems, wasn’t keen but likely gave into to his request as she was already sensing divisions in her Cabinet and wasn’t as domineering as she had been earlier in her tenure as PM.
