mj.scuba Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Money was paid to circumvent the democratic process and by-pass all security procedures by placing an agent - on behalf of murky interests with links to arms dealing and foreign security forces - at the heart of the MoD's foreign negociations and policy making. Liam Fox was not only aware of all this, but he actually made it possible through his complicity. These are just the facts we know. It is reasonable to assume that there is a lot more to it but - in keeping with the government's bizarre attempts to pass this off as a minor matter - Fox has so far avoided having to answer to criminal investigators in a recorded interview. Actually, they're allegations being investigated, aren't they? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/8837531/Liam-Fox-facing-parliamentary-investigation-into-dealings-with-Adam-Werritty.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by doing so he knowingly breeched national security. Not allegations, established facts. "Mr Werritty, who has no government role, received financial support from a group of senior Conservative donors, including some who have investments in the defence industry." So, not only did Werrity attend numerous meetings with the representatives of foreign states concerning arms supply and 'security' matters, for which he had no security clearance, but he was funded on these expeditions by right wingers with links to the arms industry. Established facts. Not allegations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The bizarre Mr Werrity has finally broken cover in order to give his side of the story....yet has managed to avoid answering any substantive question....such as "Why were you hanging around the defence secretary all the time, following him on foreign trips and touting for business whilst having no recognised role within the defence department. And while you are here what was that dodgy charity all about then? Do you you have a real job, one that hasn't been procured for you by your best friend Dr Fox? If so, what is it?"

taxman Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 More trouble for Liam due to his fondness for his good friend Adam Werrity. This time Fox has been told to pay back £3000 expenses he claimed for a second home where he allowed his little friend to live rent free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Bottom (pun not intended) line is that all 650 of them are on the gravy train, and the chance to make a bit more "on the side" seems to run through every one of them. Bent as a 9 bob note is an apt description for the lot of 'em. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
