More Vaz

[SPS]

Just another snout in the trough that has become the Westminster bubble!

I wouldn't mind the Kohinoor being returned to the country of its origin, as long as a number of other things were returned too, including Mr Vaz.

He was reelected as the chairman of the home affairs select committee, if he was that bad he wouldn't have retained that position would he?

Indeed - how that greaseball still holds any position of responsibility is beyond me.

Double standards / hypocrisy?

Thanks for the links.

I think Angela Rayner MP should replace Keith Vaz as the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee.

Horrible individual.If it wasn't for double standards he wouldn't have any standards at all.

He's as crooked as they come. I suppose his objection to the Coca Cola truck coming was that there was nothing in it for him.

I think it is all straight and above board.

Did anything come of this?

The texting of Simon Danzuk MP led me to think of Keith Vaz and I've just seen this:

Just when you think Bercow is as bad as it could get Vaz pops along. If it has to be someone from Labour then the current deputy speaker Lyndsay Hoyle seems like a good candidate.

Vaz is trending on Twitter. Seems he's deleted his Twitter and FaceBook accounts.

Ladies, gentlemen and others: I give you the unimpeachable Vaz and his tragi-comedy of errors.

Rushdie affair
Calling for the book to be banned after promisng full support the other way.

Leicester IRA attack
Seemed to be suggesting that it was wrong of the British Army to be in Britain.

Filkin inquiry
Accused of blocking the investigation into his realationship to both Sarosh Zaiwalla and serveral thousands of pounds. Found guilty on one offence but investigation into the others required his cooperation.

Hinduja affair
Where does one start on this one? But it is all right as the very trustworthy Blair, without consideration for votes, said he’d done nothing wrong. So clear cut was this that Vaz felt free to threaten the press, stating that when the truth came out . . . When some of the truth came out, despite Vaz’s lack of cooperation with the inquiry, we found . . .

Suspension from House of Commons
For making false allegations agains a police officer.

Nadhmi Auchi
Much the same as Hinduja. Trying to stop as extradition.

Home Affairs Select Committee
Made a member of the Home Affairs Select Committ by the ever dependable Harry Harman. His appointment was so vial that HH felt even the short delay that would be caused by going through the normal channels would be a disaster.

Speculation over Counter-Terrorism Bill
In short Vaz being Vaz.

Conflict of interest
Specifically the one involving Shahrokh Mireskandari who was representing AC Tarique Ghaffur in his racial discrimination case against Scotland Yard. Nothing much going on here; move along please. Just a case of undermining an independent regulator, according to Vince Cable.

Detention without charge inquiry
See above in many ways.

Parliamentary expenses[edit]
Flipping hell.

Patrick Mercer affair
A crook of the first order was how Patrick Mercer described our favourite MP, this on the lobbying scandal.

Using a loudspeaker during an election campaign
His local authority is looking into this. So he will get done as there is video evidence.

On the positive side:

Alternative medicine
Vaz is a supporter of David Tredinnick, who is chair of the Health Committee yet a supporter of magicopathy - another scandal in itself, so one would assume that if he ever falls ill he will stick to his principles.

All from Wiki.

I am no fan of Vaz, however, I believe he is sufficiently smart not to leave a trail of transactions leading to him or his immediate family.

Those that are out to get him, need to seriously step up their game.

I'm not sure that's correct. He's been caught a number of times, as my post shows. It is only, it seems to me, a certain lack of enthusiasm shall we say on the part of other politicians that stops harsher penalties.

He's now come out as a Leicester City fan. Remarkable for someone from Twickenham who went to school in Hammersmith. Didn't know Leicester were so popular in West London in the 70s.

OK, he's MP for Leicester and has every right to congratulate the team in the commons, but don't pretend to be a fan, you lying tt.
