Conservatives: VOTE FOR CHANGE
Personally I'll be backing the party that says: VOTE FOR £50's
If they're going to bribe me to vote, at least make it worth my while.

Quantitative easing is working

Tax Amnesty
Great idea from the Lib Dems.
Apparently all my illegal workers are going to get to go legal, and get a tax amnesty.
On the amnesty for illegal immigrants, he struggled big time on whether British citizens would be given the same tax amnesty that illegal immigrants would be granted, by dint of not having oaid tax during their 10 years in the country. He admitted they hadn't thought about it! Bearing in mind that Hughes largely wrote the LibDem immigration policy, he was surprisingly woolly. Bear in mind that the LibDems have said they would bring in another £4 billionby getting tough on tax evasion! You couldn't make it up.
HUGHES: I think that British citizens would be entitled to say that they should be treated evenly. People that have been here all the time.
Nolan: Would the Lib Dems give that guarantee?
HUGHES: It is not in our manifesto but you raise a good point and I think what you would have to do in that case is once people were legitimated and regulated, then if they had been working; part of the process should be working out what they should contribute. So I think that's a perfectly reasonable proposition.

Blaggers should be interested in this. Tax amnesty for illegals, means a tax amnesty for all. For once, the human rights act would work in our favour.
Nice work Simon.

Lord Oxburgh
There is a danger being roped into running a cover up. A fellow lord has got himself into trouble.
When the University of East Anglia decided to investigate itself, they could have chosen from a wide variety of scientific or legal figures. They decided on Lord Oxburgh, despite questions about his independence. As chairman of a windfarm manufacturer, could he really impartially decide on fundamental questions of the probity of climate science?
Would Lord Oxburgh have been appointed to his position as head of the panel investigating Climategate if it had been known that his employer was a subsidiary controlled by an Italian company enmeshed in scandals involving Sicilian waste? Let me hasten to add that I am not making any accusations of either Lord Oxburgh or Falck Renewables, the company he chairs. But was he really the best choice for this inquiry?
Examiner
The lesson to learn from this part, is that as a blagger, you want to keep it Lord Oxburgh has set himself up. Advice against this is a standard part of Lord Blagger's advice. Cheap at 10,000 pounds a day. It's just twice the sum a taxi driver makes in a day.
The second interesting part from the article is this
Lord Oxburgh is chairman of Falck Renewables, a builder of windfarms with six projects in operation or under construction in the UK alone. Falck Renewables is a subsidiary of Falck Group, a Milan based company that has built windfarms in Calabria and Sicily that have been part of an anti-Mafia investigation. Some of the windfarms, including one near Corleone, were completed quite some time ago, but haven't been connected to the grid. However, generous EU subsidies were forthcoming nonetheless.
A nice blag. Subsidy for building them, plus you can get a European price for the turbines, but get them built in China. It's the assembly that makes them European!
Then there is the EU subsidy blag. Get the subsidy for doing nothing. Just like the farmers. What's so good about the EU blag is that no country prosecutes, because its EU money not theirs any more. The EU won't prosecute because its like cutting off your nose to spite yourself. You don't want the public asking questions or the gravy train will end.
Italian and EU subsidies for the building of wind farms and the world’s highest guaranteed rates, €180 ($240, £160) per kwh, for the electricity they produce have turned southern Italy into a highly attractive market exploited by organised crime.
The UK price cab be around 6.5p a kwh.
That's why its such a great blag. You could even drive the turbines from the power supply to give the illusion of working. Then feed the power from the grid back to the grid
What's even better is that the mugs who pay the price, the public, are being forced by the greens to give Lord Blagger the cash!

General Election 2010: Nick Clegg admits �20,000 was paid into his account - Telegraph:
"Nick Clegg received almost �20,000 in donations from three lobbyists into his private bank account, he admitted last night."
Nice. Pity he got caught. For more advice on how to get away with it, sign up for one of Lord Blagger seminars on having your cake and eating it.

Update: Malware infects UK National Health Service systems - Computerworld:
"Computers belonging to the UK's National Health Service have been hit with data-stealing malware, although it doesn't appear patient information was stolen, according to security vendor Symantec."
That's why Lord Blagger insisted that his contract to supply software to the NHS has a little clause that made the NHS responsible for security.
After all, having looked at the specification, it was so full of holes, that only a looney would accept responsibility for security

Hero's of the Blag

Sir Percy Ware-Armitage
Never leave anything to chance. Nobble your opponents.
Lord Blagger would like to pay tribute to one of the best.
