    He now owns a lot more than that, he is very closely linked to the Kremlin - I don't understand why MI5 is not briefing key ministers and opposition frontbench about people they should not meet, especially on their ship and especially while being in a hostile country.

      Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer still ?
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        I think Lord Mandelson might be following another saying - I scratch your back you ...

          Still, let's not allow the facts about Tory sleaze to get in the way of your desperate desire to only think well of that bunch of lying scuzzballs, eh, Cyberman?

            Chingiskhan. Really?

              There is a difference. Osbourne is not in power and he did not accept any party donations. He is a foll for having got involved with this evil Russian in the first place.

              On the other Mandleson's involvement has potentially far reaching implications.

                Isn't it great to have Mandelson back? A real achiever, he wasted no time getting back into the sleaze headlines.

                  Do you think even CUK'ers would be so undiscriminating as to make friends with them?

                    we would welcome them arms open. We already have one of the great Oligarchs, and SASguru can give Mandleson a run for his money.

                      Probably, it's a given name - that guy comes from areas close to where Chingiskhan lived, at some point he controlled big part of Russia, the only invador who managed so for a long time.
