George Osborne and the Russian Billionaire

Just what is going on? Is this a non-story with Mandleson injecting the poison or is there an element of truth to the matter.

One thing is for sure, it backs up peoples feelings of mistrust in politicians. Which I think is a shame, for somebody who is studying politics I get tarred with the same brush. If I ever did go into politics, it would only be for good cause, and I know there are many politicians who are in it for good reasons, yet they get overshadowed because being in it for good reasons is not news worthy.

Thought you were an advocate of more transparency with politicians. To me the whole debacle is very news worthy.

Well it seems that 5 ex Oxford school chums were on a bit of a JOLLY together,now I don't wish to delve to deeply into the unknown,Which is apparently what Osborne said to Mandleson and caused this aura of discontent that Oleg the billionaire from a communist all people are equal country had put up £50,000 to watch.
All going back to the time that Rothchild refused to pay up on a wager made years before,that would at the time have cost him a fiver.

These people are running the country???

Mandy's only been back five minutes and he's earning his money.

Latest polls show the vast majority of the British public wouldn't trust toff Osborne with the nation's purse strings, especially with the world recession getting worse.

MP's are supposed to be whiter than white but like us they are human. They make mistakes and have loss off commen sense. Though if it was to precure investment would we be here having this discussion?

Someone should be asking the question , "Who allowed all these Russian 'ogliarchs' into the country in the first place ,thought there were restrictions on non EU citizens, none are paying income tax on their overseas earnings , seems the only British businesses they are involved in are Football clubs using foriegn players (do they pay income tax, or are they exempt as well ?) One is reported to be the 'elected' Govenor of Siberia , and he runs it from his UK headquarters .
Seems lots of politicians of all political stripes have their grasping sticky fingers in the Russian money pot

Just when you thought old school Tories were consigned to the history books, with the Consevatives try to be appealing to voters as Tory-Lite, along comes George Osborne. Not only naughty on a yacht, but also in the bordello.

“He was particularly interested in the dog collars we put on clients and the rubber underpants they wear as submissive slaves.''

"George Osborne liked to look at rubber underpants & dog collars" says dominatrix Natalie Rowe | News | News Of The World

David Mellor et al will be very proud of you.
