According to the Guardian, Ri****d made £270,000 from his consultancy work last year
You have to remember that as well as legal teams with vast resources
To what exactly are you referring to here?
MPs are also surrounded by PR and spin doctors
I think you are confusing the higher echelons of party systems and MP's.
Out of interest how does the one Green MP fit into this view?
you take small snippets of truth - the parties employ spin doctors and then , ironically, spin this truth to the point where it no longer represents reality.
you take small snippets of truth
Oh the irony...
Aside from spin on your part, how is one Green MP in any way relevant here?
I have no idea how it is relevant to your point about MP's hence why I asked you.
Is this MP surrounded by PR and spin doctors and does she have legal teams [ note the plural] with vast resources?
Well, does she?
Is this MP surrounded by PR and spin doctors
No doubt~whether or not they are from the Green Party and acting in her interests is another matter...
does she have legal teams [ note the plural]
Oh, I see, so this is basically an exercise in pedantry... well done you!!
I was trying to see whether your statement was true or false. You said teams. Was it an error to say this or was it true?
Anyway it appears to be futile to ask you questions as you just duck and avoid them as this exchange has shown.
Your claim was at best overstated and at worst false.
Getting you to admit that would seem unlikely so I respectfully retreat.
Perhaps grammar isn't your strong point Junky,
You have to remember that as well as legal teams with vast resources, MPs are also surrounded by PR and spin doctors, who will sugar coat everything to protect the integrity of not only individuals, but the party as a whole.This means the media can't report every last detail, both for legal reasons and their continued relations with the political elite.
You seem to have confused the singular and plural:
A MP vs the collective MPs, as I used in the correct context, to convey true facts.
Shame to have to bring the matter down to such petty and trivial analysis, but if that is what it takes for you to comprehend, I'm only too happy to help.
I'll be back to boggle your mind with some more background to Ri****d in due course...
Obvious avoidance of the question is obvious.
Asking you a couple of simple question is singularly [ see what i did there] the most pointless thing on the internet
Forgive me I have learnt this time to just let you spout your true facts*
* see if you can work it out will you....chuckles
Blimey, you were on fire yesterday...
Being as it's not a question relevant to the topic and what I've written in the 1st place is accurate, I'm going to move on~ we could fart around straying off topic and arguing over nothing, but it's not really fair to other people who may have valid comments on the subject
So, back to Ri****d as promised:
I've already mentioned his role as chair of ArmorGroup during the Iraq war and the potential conflict of interest when he requested the CIA torture report.
Of further concern to his role on the Intelligence and Security Committee are:
a) [url= http://companycheck.co.uk/company/SC163703/ABRAXA-LIMITED/directors-secretaries ]He shared directorship in a company[/url] with John Chilcot (who will hopefully be releasing his report before yet another war starts)
b) His Cousin is/was [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/leon-brittans-dead ]Leon Brittan[/url]
Until the Chilcot report is released, we'll have to give them the benefit of the doubt, however, b) certainly raises questions...
This account came from documents taken by police in January 2013 which had been compiled by social workers from NAYPIC:

This along with several similar abuses and brushes with the law mean it is reasonable to assume intelligence services had an extensive dossier on Leon Brittan, not to mention other figures involved in the paedophile ring which used Elm Guest House, Dolphin Square, Military bases and other venues.
No doubt if Police had been provided with these intelligence documents when the scandal was 1st revealed publicly in 2012, there would've been many more high profile arrests of the political elite by now.
Ri****d could've ensured justice was served, but it appears he chose to protect the establishment, rather than the public interest.
The fact that Ri****d 1st came into Thatchers cabinet as a result of the [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westland_affair#January_1986 ]Westland affair[/url] is interesting and raises questions over this [url= http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/defence-secretary-over-rules-advice-and-gives-a-jobs-boost-to-westland-ri****d-puts-britain-first-in-copter-deal-1.690862 ]deal when he was defence minister[/url]
Furthermore both Leon Brittan and an Heir to Westland Helicopters were both named as attending Elm Guest House on documents provided to police which only adds to the intrigue...
Admittedly, the Westland angle is a more tenous link than the fact Ri****d and Brittan were cousins and Ministers in Thatchers Cabinet.
The odds of Ri****d not knowing of Brittan's involvement in child rape are slim.
Of course, far beyond this, the footage that has led to Ri****d's standing down raises questions over the many deals he has conducted over the years.

What will the future hold if such Orwellian trends continue?
