QPP

Lord Michael Howard of Quindell answers question at 12th time of asking – but answers wrongly

Twelve times, by email and by twitter I asked former Tory leader Lord Michael Howard of Quindell (QPP) why the new board was trying to bury evidence of the fraud committed by the old board by not filing accounts for Quindell Financial Services – the vehicle ex CEO Rob Fielding used to half inch almost £2 million in a sham deal with convicted Nigerian fraudster Andrew O’Dua. Lord Howard has now responded to THIS article and my question. Sadly his answer is er...not factually accurate.

    This is why the world just loves slippery politicians, especially the one, ‘with something of the night about him’. He has answered you, not your question of course, casting shadow and mist all about and will now move on, safe in the knowledge that he is too important to bother with such minor matters as the law and criminality. Just look at the way the whole boiling mass of them illegally, not to say immorally, abused their Parliamentary expenses allowances. You think he’s going to be worried about a bit of corporate fraud that happened before his tenure? Dream on.

    He used to be a politician,Tom.

  3. Politicians have no choice but to tell lies, look what happened to TW when he told the truth about Quindell.

    If Politicians told the real truth, no one would vote for them. When Alistair Darling attempted to try and tell the public the real state of the economy he spent the rest of his career hanging onto his job.

    Jason Bourne is a fictitious film character, the real Jason Bourne, is a nerd with bottle bottom glasses that suffers diabetes, and is now holed up in Russia, All Snowdon has asked for, to go back to America and face his accusers, is that he isn’t subjected to torture, the Americans have failed to respond.

    We live in an honest world, you sure, because it doesn’t look like that to me.
