OK here's the deal. Brown has to get the Blairite/Primrose Hill gang on side if he has any chance of keeping his snout in the trough. In his "government of all the talents" he is finding himself desperately short of it. Mandy may be a repulsive treasonous f*cking invertebrate c0ck jockey but he is politically as sharp as a scalpel and Brown needs him therefore all principle is to be cast to the wind.
There is also an urgent requirement, along with intense behind the scenes pressure from Europe, to get the EU Consitution (sorry Lisbon Treaty) ratified and the de facto unification of Europe back on track before the whole sorry mess collapses totally which given the trillions it has cost them/us so far, CANNOT be allowed to lapse now that they are so close. Ah the irony, Hitler's wet dream finally enacted by a 'socialist' state.
Sarkozy and Merkel are mightily relieved to know that they now have 'their man' (and he surely is) inside the UK government and in such a fundamental position of influence to advance the EU cause of "ever closer union". I'd forget any hope of that referendum chaps.
Our Local MP bunged Mandy the big wedge to buy Mandy's ÂŁ475,00 Notting Hill shag pad for him and his Brazilian bum chum and didn't even get an invite to the house warming lol got them both sacked though.
There are rumours that the former paymaster general has photos of several 'fragrant' cabinet members which act as his 'insurance' policy. This may also resurrect the old associations with the corpse of the fat crook Maxwell that everybody's forgotten about. Carter hasn't! This from July 2007 might enlighten.
Mandelson to be made a lord - Times Online
A friend of Mandelson said: “It will be like an honorary title and he won’t get involved in the day-to-day workings of the House of Lords. He wouldn’t want to anyway. But I’d expect him to make an appearance when things get spicy. I don’t doubt it will be controversial.”
So he won't be getting involved in day to day affairs, ....riiiight! that would be what's known as a bare-faced pile of b011ocks where I come from.
How many words was that?
I think it is called WRONG. Any other person in any private company would of been sacked or prosecuted.
And if his big mate Bliar hadn't dicked about with the Treason Act he'd be swinging at a rope's end for "treason within and without the realm"!
