... yes, I speak of 'Lord' Black of Crossharbour who has today been convicted on three counts of fraud and one of obstructing justice by a jury in Chicago. He was found not guilty of nine other charges of 'racketeering, wire fraud and tax evasion', so comparisons with Scarface are entirely inappropriate even if the locations of their convictions are similar.
It is reported that the Conservative Party has 'withdrawn the whip' as a result of his conviction as he sat as a Conservative in the House of Lords. From all I have ever heard about him his downfall couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
I wrote to him about MPs being exempt from Freedom of Information legislation and he graced me with a brief reply in my favour.
ReplyDeleteHe's the former MP of the town where I live and an all-round good egg.
Well, if you have that to say about him [presume you mean Lord Stoddard], then he goes even further up in my estimation, Tim.
