Lobbying by ex-minsisters scandal, Mandelson says... (22Mar10)

An interesting look by Newsnight on the whole scandal of lobbying of ministers by lobby groups or ex-ministers. Mandelson is of course no stranger to lobbying, and he's changed EU law after holidaying on an Oligarch's yacht, in the process of changing UK laws with his b@stard "Digital Economy Bill" after meeting up with a rich Hollywood executive whilst on holiday on a yacht, and is implicated in a passport scandal which ultimately allowed large donations to the Labour party to be made.

Recorded from Newsnight, 22 March 2010.

He barely replying.... Mandelson full of fucking bullshit!

[Arcturo765]

look at Mandelson, he is absolutely shitting himself, if he had been hooked up to a lie detector when Paxman quizzed him it would have shot off the scale,wherever there is a scandal Mandelson is always involved somewhere in it.

New Labour have to be the most corrupt party ever to govern Britain.

When does 'Zero' mean 'No'?

When Peter Mandelson answers a question.

[johneunson]

well, mandy should know about 'grubby'. the word could be used to describe his dealings.

[CelticReject]

I wonder what Paxo really thinks about the scum he has to interview?

[vancarbus]

Mandleson froze like a statue when questioned.

They are all at it, always have been, always will be. They work and play in a money making club, not giving a fuck about anyone outside of it.
