| I think they should elect more non-qualified people into posts of great importance, I've always wanted to work in an A&E department myself, the doctor on the door who says "Cubicle three" or "You're just p1ssed, go home"

I wouldn't be surprised at a co-operative donating to a party of the Left.
What are you saying anyway? ... it's kinda hard to make out just what your beef is.
So far it sounds like you think that the Labour Party forced him into a Bank Chairmanship he didn't want, so he donated its money to Labour and the bank went bust.
Bat.
Off the top of my head, maybe, just maybe, he was a crap chairman or the board were crap.

Only if you are ignorant of the history and links the co-operative movement has with the Labour Party.
The Co-operative party which is the political arm of the co-operative movement has always donated to the Labour party. In fact many currently sitting Labour MP's stand as "Labour and Co-operative party" members and receive funding from the co-operative party which of course comes from the co-operative society including the bank.
The is no link between the appointment of the chairman and the funding the Labour Party gets. Even the Daily Mail isn't daft enough to suggest that.

| Private company appoints employee. He leaves. Buys drugs while no longer employed.
Scandal of the century, right there. Keir Hardie has a lot to answer for

Hello little troll. Welcome back - we missed you.
Perhaps you can answer some of questions you've been asked.

| Interesting to note that Camoron and his favourite fag Grant Shapps are now publicly "wondering what financial advice Miliband received from Paul Flowers. This from the man who directly appointed a man who is currently on trial at The Old Bailey? Couldn't make it up

| Flowers has now had his collar felt so we should be careful what we say about him.
But it does seem strange that there are any number of investigations surrounding a bloke who allegedly tried to score £300 worth of drugs, yet Lord Green who presided over HSBC laundering £6bn of drug cartel money, not a bloody word.
Cameron's pathetic attempts to link Miliband to Flowers at Wednesday's PMQs has Lynton Crosby writ large all over it and could well come back to bite him on his 'arris

Absolutely.

Nobody much seems to bother about Goldman Sachs and the accounting of Greece's books either.

| A drug taking pervert with a previous conviction for indecency, and a current penchant for rent boys, plus the small matter of £75K in false expenses from his previous position in Bradford.....it just had to be Bradford, eh, is appointed to the Chairmanship of a bank which claimed the moral high ground in the murky world of financial dealings.
Love it.
And we've still to hear the explanation for the millions offered to Red Ed's lot
at very soft rates, although that may take a little while as he's still pondering how to avoid an Inquirey into the Falkirk Labour Party Fiasco.....

You are aware of the history of the Co-operative Movement and the Labour party? The Co-op have been Labour benefactors almost since its inception. You really must try a little harder and remember that all the time you're slinging mud, you are invariably losing ground.

No he's just demonstrating the hypocrisy of the Labour leadership - who have done the same over Coulson, News International, party funders, etc. Cameron is just showing that all politicians are "in it together." Milliband has played the holier than thou card for a long time and now he has his own questions to answer and rightly so.

Is that a West Country homily Coddy? Yes I was aware of The Co-op's traditional relationship, just not aware it was so rlCosyrl
But you will be as disgusted as me at the history of the guy they appointed Chairman.......will you not?
