Get your hands out the till

"I am still very rich"
‘The lunches, the hospitality, the quiet word in your ear, the ex-ministers and ex-advisers for hire, helping big business find the right way to get its way.

'In this party, we believe in competition, not cronyism. We believe in market economics, not crony capitalism. So we must be the party that sorts all this out. - David Cameron, earlier this week'


The Conservative MP Andrew MacKay is to join the lobbying arm of Burson-Marsteller after the general election, PRWeek can reveal.


MacKay, MP for Bracknell and a former parliamentary aide to David Cameron, will become an international consultant and strategic adviser in the agency's public affairs team after paying back £31K in stolen money to the people - the bastard.

PS. Just been reading the Lords Expenses seeing as Guido is picking up on them. Is it just me that finds it odd that Lord Carswell attended the House on just ONE day last year, yet claimed £12,878 travel costs?

HOW THE FREEMAN Stuff going OH - Update please!

It`s full steam ahead on the gravy train.

It seems stealing from the public purse is a good qualification for a lobbyist.

Not just the Lords doing it. Even after all the scandals.

such a shame those are cameras and not guns - or clubs, spiked with 8" nails, or sharpened broom handles, spiked with dog shit ....

answers at the head of an angry mob, as Andrew MacKay's ragged, bloated corpse is kicked along in front it.

If the Lord Carswell mentioned is the Law Lord, it wouldn't be very surprising at all. They don't speak in debates often but are reimbursed travel costs connected to their work as judges.

Imagine just for a minute, if MP's and Lords who are high profile politicians are robbing us blind under said spotlight, what do you think is happening at local council level where the spotlight isn't quite as illuminatingon them?

On every level of government, the snakes and pigs take their share, we get the rest (if we're lucky).

Hmmm, it is a small world isn't it? The Tricky Questions Training is run by Alexander Ballard Ltd.

Susan Alexander,
One of the Directors of Alexander Ballard Ltd, Susan left a successful broadcasting career with the BBC to consult on climate change communication and strategy. She was founding Joint Editor of a Climate Change Website at Oxford University from 2001 to 2003, which led to her working on several pan-European sustainability projects. Recently she has led an important project on the leadership role of climate change 'champions' and played a key role in research on behaviour change for climate change and on the strategy implications for public bodies. She has helped to develop a climate change game with the New Economics Foundation, and is currently communication associate on a research project to encourage the take-up of low carbon technologies in the food industry.

Susan has many years of experience in training communication strategies and skills, for instance to Earth Scientists (funded by the Natural Environment Research Council).

Susan spent almost ten years as a Broadcast Journalist with the BBC winning three national awards for programmes. As a News Editor she was responsible for all output of a local radio station. She has also worked as a political researcher and reporter on BBC TV.

Susan has taught communications skills to senior natural scientists for over 10 years. She was Joint Editor of an innovative climate change website at Oxford University 2001-3, during which time she interviewed many leading climate change figures. Her interview with Dr Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the IPCC, was published in the national press.

She has been involved as a practitioner in many climate change behavioural initiatives in recent years, leading the Champions research for Hampshire County Council and playing a key role in research for a European consortium: European Spatial Planning Adaptation to Climate Events.

Oh yes, a very small world.

Harry Hill 10 February 2010 17:01  

Small world, and very very bad.

Well dug up lilith. I can confirm, being not unconnected with the world of the quango-kleptocrats that self-aggrandising numpties of the Susan Alexander variety have made good money out of pushing 'climate change' (your change in thier pockets), although it has most amusingly come spectacularly unstuck of late. I predict space under rocks will soon be at a premium.

These useless bastards get to sit on company boards for selling us out, to the Bilderbergers in general and all their corporate chums.

They are all in on the big club of selling public assetts, selling war contracts, milking the public and having their secret meetings handing over our democracy.

Dave is part of this bullshit with his Builderbergers sitting either side of the turd, to think for one second that Dave would be any different is insane considering the comapany he keeps and his pro EU totalitarian actions to date.

Dave is Blair MK2 trying to be all things to all people, making the same tired promises while the house of hoars gets his full backing.

If it did not, Dave would find himself attacked by their media, their think tanks and their corpoarations and possibly an early heart attack.

any politician that wants to buck this trend has to make arrests as soon as they come to office and address the public directly to this external and internal threat.

Dave and his money grabbing bastards are much happier to sell you out, tell lies and collect their rewards.

The only people with the GUTS to do anything about it are villified by the press for this reason ALONE.

If such people were prepared to give them - the bilderberger leaches a bigger slice of the pie, their policies would be trumpeted from the mountain tops.

ANY POLICY!

let us not forget they were eager to murder iraqi women and children for their bilderberg masters, they wouldnt think twice about doing it to yours if they could get away with it.

as democracy goes out of the window and tyranny comes direct from brussles we cannot be too far away.

Whether it is death camps or world war 3 they have no trouble sending people to their death just as long as they are on the make and under no threat.

as democracy slips away you become nothing more than an irritant

You mean nothing to them - NOTHING!

Ah, Old Faithful, I dub thee.

Once again, you're all for freedom of action and association, as long as it's your freedom. Everyone else needs to play by your rules.

And as always, you leap at the cheap headline, and don't read the small print.

"The Law Lords' expenses therefore reflect the number of times that they require to travel to the House to discharge their judicial duties, in addition to any times they are recorded as sitting in the Chamber for public business."

Splendid stuff, very amusing. Please do keep on.

Burston Marsteller is an element in the stable of Young and Rubicam Brands, which is in turn held by WPP

If BM have hired a gold-plated turkey like Andrew MacKay, they had better count the spoons, check his expenses claims, never let him near a client lest he creates the overwhelming urge in one of them to smack him round the head with a Barcelona reception chair, and move their pensions in to some other firm.

I predict WPP shares to take a dive on the news that they have loonies capable of hiring MacKay running one of the brands.

Communications specialists, don't make me laugh. My gran would know better than to touch that flea-bitten Skeletor look-a-like, and she was only a washer-woman.

Any one of his corporate masters can do it.

Don't matter which one.

They won't be letting him make decisions on their business. He'll just be doing as he's told. Same as when he was in power.

6 million and 80 staff to monitor the expenses of 600 politicians.

What the fuck is all that about... sorry off topic, but relevant I believe.!!

Its on the BBC front page..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8509815.stm

This could be done by one accountant hired one day a week.

All the MP's must do is present all the receipts. How fucking hard can it be?

Oh no .. they want 80 people to look after 600+ MP's and charge the tax payer 6.6 million for the task. when only 1.12 million was actually paid back by the criminals who fraudulently and quite deliberately stole public money. fuckers!!!

The SNP have also referred to reports which claimed Gordon Brown also made representations to a court on behalf of a constituent who admitted growing cannabis plants - although the man did not have any previous convictions.
