Righty-ho all your conspiracy lovers, wrap your madness around this one - Did somebody just try to buy the British government? (my link) via Charlie's Diary (original link)
In a nutshell ... actually no, there is no way to pop this into a nutshell - go read it all!
Thoughts from Miramar:
- Do Lords get to say things like this now-a-days, ", he came back and said, "You can get lost. I'm not touching this with a bargepole; it is far too difficult. Take it back to the Treasury". So I did."
- Can anyone actually link me to the entry in Hansard
- If not real then what's the point (publicity I s'pect)
- Note the original site is antipope.org ... !!
I am done.
Seems to be all real and he did say it in the House of Lords - check out the links left in the comments on the original post.
