Louise Haigh mobile phone story

[Spymaster]

Has a point...

Nah. Someone probably grassed her. She’s not denying that this happened, so somehow the police found out that she still had the phone before she ‘got the chance’ to tell them.

She was a little bit naughty as a youngster over a decade ago and got a slap on the wrist. No big deal. She was a plastic plod after that, so the conviction didn’t bother the old bill. Bullshitting now makes an issue of it though.

 

[two sheds]

Your second bit sums it up, imo.

She tried to nick the phone. She probably came clean to her brief, so he gave her that advice (he can’t advise her to lie, so he said say nothing).

Or it's the standard advice that solicitors give that you shouldn't say anything. And perhaps the solicitor recommended that she plead guilty because she had technically made a false statement to the police and so would likely be found guilty and pleading guilty would mean just a slap on the wrist rather than 15 years in pokey.

You lefties don't half jump to conclusions on very little evidence

tea bags. stationery. furniture. all fair game.

When our previous office closed they said we could take anything we wanted. We couldn't fit the 12-foot-tall rubber plant into the car though.

 

[tommers]

Sorry, the unbelievable bit of this is that she made a mistake? And not that she turned the phone on and that rang some alarm at the Metropolitan Police and they then arrested her? Like there was a crack team of detectives sat monitoring her work mobile phone? "Sarge! It's come back on! We're getting a signal!" "Yes! Get that team that tracks locations to track the location! We've finally got her!"

 

[MickiQ]

She'd be better off just admitting that she fucked-up years ago than insulting people's intelligence with this 'I found it later, genuine mistake' bollocks.

'I got mugged and some time later after I told the police that the muggers had nicked my phone, I found it! Would you believe it? There it was, sitting in my handbag all the time. I must have just missed it. Silly me! Then I tried to use it and got my collar felt. Whoops. Genuine mistake!'

If it was a company phone she may not have carried it all the time. When I worked for Evil American Megacorp I had a company one but I also had a personal one as well.
I was allowed to use the company one for personal use but that meant the fuckers were able to contact me all the time which I didn’t want.
I eventually bought a dual SIM one and put both sims in it disabling the company sim when I finished work if I wasn't on call leaving the work handset in the drawer at home.
They issued a new handset every two or three years and I never gave back any of the old ones so I eventually ended up with a collection of perfectly good near new mobiles which I gave away.
I gave the last one to the wife of Mrs Q's brother not too long ago.
Even if she was blagging a new one it's hardly fraud of the century is it?

I would have hired a van for that

 

[tommers]

Nah. Someone probably grassed her.

She told Starmer when she was appointed to his cabinet. It's not a secret.

Hmmmm, now who could possibly have leaked this info?

 

[tommers]

I dunno, maybe there was somebody she embarrassed a while ago. Could have been them.

 

[The39thStep]

This is something or nothing . Backing genocide would have been something to resign over but not this .

I reckon that Jimmy Hill pic might be doing a lot of work today

It's certainly not the fraud of the century but she didn't get done for choring the phone; she got done for bullshitting the police about it, which is more serious. Even that though, isn't the end of the world. It's how they've/she's dealt with it since.

 

[Spymaster]

She told Starmer when she was appointed to his cabinet. It's not a secret.

She was an MP before she was in the cabinet.

Presumably, it was withheld from her constituents.

 

[Spymaster]

Again, they've got her to resign because of the bullshitting. Not the act. A bit harsh but probably right to nip it the bud before it gets bigger.

 

[Saul Goodman]

I heard a rumour* it was Starmer that leaked the info, because their core values didn't align.


*I may have started the rumour.

 

[two sheds]

So how much did Starmer know, and when? If he was told and kept it from the British Public then he's implicated and should resign

Just as well we don't apply the same moral standards on here

 

[Spymaster]

For better or worse, a quick look through posts in p&p will show that no moral standards are applied on here.

Worse than Hitler.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Worse than Hitler.

For all his faults, Hitler never bullshitted about losing a mobile phone. Something that's often overlooked when people slag the guy off.

They threw her under the bus because of this:

Keir Starmer rebukes Louise Haigh over P&O Ferries ‘boycott’ call

The PM tells the BBC the transport minister's criticism of a ferry company is not the government's view, ahead of an investment summit.

www.bbc.com

and this:

P&O owner to attend summit despite row over Louise Haigh's comments

It had been feared they might pull out after Transport Secretary Louise Haigh criticised the ferry firm and urged consumers to boycott the company.

www.bbc.com

which if it didn't before tells you all you need to know about Strarmer's Labour.

Absolutely.

Credit where it's due.

 

[pbsmooth]

Starmer mugged an old lady for her phone and then punched a copper?! String him up!!!

Yep. Wouldn't have helped.

 

[Larry O'Hara]

Her days were numbered once she blurted out the truth about P&O being cowboys and the the tool-maker's son threw her under the bus to cosy up with DP World. Nothing "emerges" without reason.

I agree: she is now toast for a historic ‘crime’ while Keir Starmtrooper nods through genocide

It was definitely Starmer that blew her in. I heard it from a reliable source.

 

[teuchter]

The second sentence doesn't make sense. It says that investing £1b in bus services, and lowering costs for motorists, are ways in which she has made strides to take the rail system back into public ownership.

That's the second sentence.

 

[DotCommunist]

Used to be a hobby bobby as well?

 

[teuchter]

That's what I said.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Even after your sneaky edit, Starmer is just listing three things she's done to 'deliver this government's ambitious transport agenda.'
