I dunno, she got £29 million out of it (at least), sounds pretty good to me. This is just normal business practice for these sort of folk. I will be very surprised if she does any porridge for her corruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK authorities do seem to be very bad at successfully prosecuting serious fraud cases so you could be right. There are other things though that would hurt Michelle Mone. She’s someone who loves the attention, craves being seen as a successful woman with all the trappings of wealth and power. If she ended up as a disgraced former peer and was seen as a crook, I think that’d be hard for her to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I just remembered something which I think sums Michelle Mone Up. I've relatives that are Manx and when her home and offices in Douglas were raided earlier by the NCA, one of my cousins was discussing it on Facebook. One of her pals, who I assume is a club/pub DJ came out with this cracker. “She called me a cunt in such and such a pub because I wouldn’t play the song she wanted”. I can’t remember which artist it was exactly but it was someone really shite like Kenny G or the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 RMT have settled with Scotrail. Funny that the Scottish public sector seem to be being more successful at settling with the Unions than the rUK, but you won’t hear that on the BBC news. In other news, I’ve just shelled out £75 for train tickets in January that I won’t be able to use because of a strike and my mother is unable to book a train ticket back up the road after Christmas as there is no Arriva timetable yet.

Yet, a rough draft of some weeks-old minutes from an NHS administrator pontificating stays in the news for the entire week and counting.

I met Doddie in 1994, in the Leidseplein in Amsterdam at around 2 am in the morning, one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet, an absolute gent. Obviously you knew about his condition but I was shocked at how he looked before the All Blacks game. At least he’s at peace now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the link, I don’t agree with it, but I’m not going to hate someone for expressing it. It’s a view I’ve heard expressed towards other childless female politicians, most notably by Andrea Leadson in respect of Theresa May.
