Mandelson telling more lies?

Mandelson under fire over meeting with Russian billionaire

LORD Mandelson was last night facing fresh calls to reveal all his dealings with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska after he admitted meeting the billionaire two years earlier than previously revealed.
The Business Secretary admitted that a statement by officials in his former office in Brussels saying he had not met Deripaska until 2006 was wrong, and they had actually first met in 2004.
The revelation placed fresh pressure on the Labour peer last night, as it confirms that Mandelson, then European trade commissioner, met Deripaska before he signed off a decision to remove a 14.9% EU tariff on aluminium foil – a move of huge benefit to the Russian.

How can Labour hold its moral head high when it refuses to see what a complete bag of human effluence their Trade Secretary appears to Joe Public? He's a man who forgot to tell Parliament that he had a private deal with another Minister to borrow £300,000 to purchase property, when the property market was booming; and who forgot to tell anyone that he was helping the Induja family to get early passports; or that he has pulled strings to get his gay boy into the country; or that he is a thoroughly despicable turd with no morals at all. The only people who will loose sleep over the appointment of the Prince of Darkness will be the people who foot the bill, the tax payer.
