Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
In an infamous Jeremy Paxman grilling (see below) Lord Michael Howard had to be asked twelve times to answer a very simple question. Yesterday I asked the former Tory leader a very simple question. A grubby ex politician seeking well paid post career sinecures might not answer but I hoped for better from the good Lord. So far I have not had a response. And so I have penned a second letter as you can see below.

Hi Tom,
I’m not sure that the opening sentence of your letter (which is basically punching him in the face the moment he has opened the envelope!) is going to exactly get Lord Howard on-side!!
Still, well done for pushing on this issue. It’s good to see that you’re following through, after uncovering so much dirt on Quindell, in flagging the detailed issues to the authorities and Directors.
Let’s hope that the former Directors of Quindell are properly punished for any proven wrongdoing.
Regards, Paul.
