I don't know what's happened to Hain. 20 years ago he was a principled anti-apartheid campaigner.

Now he's a slightly orange, complacent, smug, crony with his snout in the trough. Where did it all go wrong?

 

[Race]

saw on the news that council tax is going up again but is staying at the same rate in SCOTLAND. also, the police officers were on the march to try to get the government to give them their back-dated pay. something that the police have received in SCOTLAND. looks after his own doesn't he?

 

[desprateseagull]

why did he wait so long? or why didnt the PM sack him?

have these mp's have any honour? how many more have received iffy donations?!

 

[BensGrandad]

Will he go back to sabotaging cricket squares.

 

[Stinky Kat]

slimey tnuc

 

[crodonilson]

I've never liked this guy, he comes across as an arrogant tosser.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The booming economy was based on crass overspending. The great Labour con. Labour OUT!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Anyone educated at FALMER can't be entirely bad.

the above is nothing to do with the money grabbing fucker that is Hain, it is merely in response to Race's comment on funding in Scotland

Enjoy Burns night

I notice he hasn't resigned from his £200k a year job as an MP though.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Its TORY sleaze. Thats what it is. Its their FAULT because they INVENTED it.

 

[scarfer1]

If Haines has had to retire over the missing £103k. Why hasn't Knight retired over all the missing transfer money??

Hain is a Liberal LEFTY - he might LOOK like a Tory with his permatan and sharp suits, he might SOUND like a Tory with his oleaginous pontification, he might BEHAVE like a Tory taking backhanders and cash for favours, he probably SMELLS like a Tory too... but in fact, under all that, he is a LIBERAL LEFTY. One of the few LEFTIES in the Labour party.

Really? A true Blairite who used to be in the Young Liberals at Uni. About as leftie as Blair.

Just look at the oleaginous permatanned twat. Does he look like a principled socialist?

 

[Titanic]

..Does he look like a principled socialist?

Isn't that an OXYMORON ?

 

[Buzzer]

not quite but they are few and far between. Dave Nellist for one. Che Guevera another. There is another current Labour MP but his name escapes me.

umm...that's it. I think.
