"if it was his company then surely its his money. I presume it is classed as stolen because he didnt declare it. " its a lot more complex than that, whilst he started the company originally it was essentially owned by its shareholder of which he was only one. He took money that essentially belonged to the company and not him personally. people forget that a limited company is a seperate entity in its own right and any drawings from the company have to be legal. As to the Tory donations there is no case to answer as they cannot prove where teh money came from. He had a significant amount of personal wealth too. | |||

"To be honest, despite me being a Labour man, there's no case to answer here. Unfortunately it's the level of politics in this country that this week Labour hit the tories with this and next week the Tories will find something to hit Labour back with and in a couple of years time they'll be wondering yet again why less and less people vote. If they spent more time getting on with their real jobs on both sides of the house and less time scoring political points that mean nothing we might actually start making progress as a country +1 all the parties we have before us are not worth voting for its a fact .they are only interested in lining there own pockets and those of there rich friends while crushing the less fortunate in society . that go's for all the parties " i would take a little issue with you there to be honest. Whilst politicians have had a bad name recently with expenses scandal it is wrong to label them all the same as money grabbers looking to line their own pockets. there are some out there who serve as politicians because they want to do best by their constituents. My sister in law is an MP, i shant say which side, and she takes her role very seriously. She at no time overcooked her expenses and actually earns less as a MP than she did in the job she gave up to stand for parliament. She was a senior manager of a large corporation with a £300k salary package. she now less than earns a quarter of that and spends more time away from her family than she ever did with her previous job, but she feels strongly about her political ideals and does her job exceptionally well. She works more hours a week than most people i know and spends countless hours in her constituency when not at Westminster so please dont tar them all with the same brush. If its such a cushy number and just a means to line ones pocket, then stand for election the next time round and then re-evaluate that opinion afterwards. | |||

" Oh I'd agree with you Kenny, many MP's work hard and some make a lot of money out of it, especially if they become well known or are promoted high enough in gevernment and make their money after they have stopped being an MP. My gripe with MP's is that they spend so much of their time scoring politcal points off each other. Today it's labour chipping away at Tories over Nadir's money, and within 2 or 3 posts people fight back about the money from Maxwell etc. Even in the big political situations like for example the Iraq War 2 or the banking crisis of 2008. The truth is if the Tories had been in government in 2001, they'd have gone to war with the Americans too, and indeed they voted for it, and the banking crisis of 2008 was started under the Thatcher government, added to by the Major government, stirred and added even more to by the Blair government and the chickens came home to roost for Brown who'd had 10 years of adding to the problem in the first place. The reality is that all MP's put themselves first, party second and everyone else 3rd or lower. Thier goal is to promote themselves which they do by looking after their constituants and then to tow the party line. No MP or government would have suggested reining the banks (and all other lending institutions) in or for that matter moving legislation to limit the amount house prices would rise because while it would have been the sensible thing to do, the public fired up by the press would have kicked them out of office, and yet the responsibility of MP's was to have stopped things like the banking crisis developing in the first place | |||

" Correct. Even as Chairman or CEO of a company he started, as a Board Director you are employed by the company as an entity. Once Polly Peck went public (plc) the whole board of Directors were then, effectively, employed by the shareholders to run the company. Thus any money earned by the company was the shareholders first, then for the Directors to allocate. Any money taken by any means not accounted for in the annual Report and Accounts would thus have been stolen from the company. | |||
