So impatient were they, that when The Sun set up a fake lobbying company with a simple young lady sitting at a desk, they didn't, for a second question whether they were being set up.
At that time, they had parliamentary assistants (I don't know if they still have their staff cards, now) who could have looked up Lobbyings Are Us and found that it was
'a set up with a hidden camera'.
But NNOOOooo. All they could see were paychecks dancing before their eyes.5000 pounds per day, for a good one of them democrats.
that's cheap, for a multi-national company
what are they guilty of?

Firstly, some of the politicians could have just been lying about affecting legislation. Some of them could have been trying to impress the young lady, in the hopes of getting a shag. No favours were done, mind you. So, none of them actually broke a law by talking about manipulating the democratic process for the private gain of a corporation, over the rights and interests of the rest of the country. They were, however, VERY ready to do so.
And then politicians tell us "please vote", "it's your duty."
"if you don't vote, you're not taking part in democracy"
The Conservatives were very happy for this boost, just before the election that dares not be announced.
Lord Mandelson for his part, says the Conservatives are
guilty of throwing stones while living in a glass house.
That's true.
The Conservatives have also been guilty of sleaze.
Of course, Mandelson is in a particularly thin type of glass house for someone who is also throwing stones and for someone being the pot who called the kettle black.
For those of you keeping score, Mandelson, though gay and corrupt, was a central figure in New Labour of the Blairs. He had high posts always, but was
Talk about 'lording it over people'. This man is 'Labour', but anti-labour at the same time. Ask the post office and British Airways employees.

next goal: find out who the real lobby companies areI say: "If you don't have access to lobbyists,
you don't benefit from democracy"
I think I'll start me a lobbying company and become a democrat.you don't benefit from democracy"

Politicians in power are more likely to be corrupt.
What a surprise!

fired for turpitude's (read: sleaze) TWO times.
Imagine how hard it is for a Man Friday to be sh*tcanned.
[ELGazette 2001. Norman Baker, MP caused Mandy to be shown as corrupt (that was the first time it was objectively proved)]
That's how badly he screwed up!
After a stint as Euro trade minister (where he took the lobbying of Russian oligarchs to new lows), he is now a member of the cabinet, while not being elected.Imagine how hard it is for a Man Friday to be sh*tcanned.

He is saved by the fact that some fool made him a lord.Talk about 'lording it over people'. This man is 'Labour', but anti-labour at the same time. Ask the post office and British Airways employees.
