Brown and Harman

the trouble with the comment made by Harman about Hague getting GBP30,000 is that she did not actually say it to him personally. She threw it in as an afterthought. If she had said it to him directly, during the time that Hague was actually able to respond, then I would have thought differently, but no, she was sly, and she knows it.

As for Royal Bank of Scotland, one can hardly fail to notice the adverts for National Westminster bank on the TV. Now, Nat West is owned by Royal Bank of Scotland, why do they not say when talking about Nat West that they are a wholly owned subsidiary of RBS. Was not the Nat West advert in the old days, 'the bank that likes to say yes'.

Going back to Harman, I wonder why she did not mention the list of other people who benefited from RBS largess. I will not mention them here, but they and you know who they are.

I cannot understand why Harman, when standing in for Brown at PMQs, did not correct her mistake for saying that 'Fred the Shred' got his knighthood for work for the Princes Strust, rather than 'services to banking'. She must have been given the same notes which would have gone to Brown, if he dared to be at PMQs rather than half an hour with the new president. Who prepared her for her stand in job, surely they must havejust had to look up the citation when 'Sir Fred' was honoured.

This parliament is finished, Brown is finished, and do you know what upsets me the most, my late father was presented with the MBE by the Queen. The thought that if he had been around today he might be there on the same day that Kennedy gets his knighthood. I think that we ought to be ashamed that the Head of State, the Queen, has granted this knighthood on such a man is disgraceful.
