Discussion
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.

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

Paying for cocaine is not legal, this might be what does for him.
I'd agree. That bit is going to be very tricky to brush under the carpet. Even if it is a nice big, carpet, woven from liberal tolerance and left-wing self-righteousness.Can't think why but Vaz reminds me of him. Anyone any idea why?
A really nasty, vicious and vindictive man who had the black on those who could put him away. The police officer that is.

Like any crime or deception, it is possible to get away with quite a lot, for quite a while, but that is very different to saying that events and the truth will never catch up with you.
The police officer did. He didn't even have to leave the job on 'medical' grounds as many did. He was described in an Old Bailey trial as the biggest unhung villain in the 80s. Ain't no sure justice.When he died I said to an ex police officer, who, like me, had to leave the force, that we'd at least outlived him. The chap, who'd had a bad time of it, said, 'But he doesn't know that'.
It's a shame no one has written about it.
