Crùbag Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This seems to have passed me by but apparently allegations first arose in 2012. Seems like he's been using a pseudonym for 'business purposes'. Here's Channel 4's excellent vid of him running like a rat from a determined Michael Crick. I was gonna put this under the 'scoungers' thread for obvious reasons but I think Shapps deserves one of his own. Another fkn lizard. http://bcove.me/svpv1cvy http://www.channel4.com/news/grant-shapps-second-job-michael-green-michael-crick-doorstep and at the Grauniad: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/16/grant-shapps-urged-to-quit-over-second-job-under-michael-green-pseudonym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 He's a twat, but he's Cameron's ally so he won't lose his job. It's only ever people who aren't friends with Dave that seem to get fired when embroiled in controversy, weird that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Wasn't his cousin in the Clash or the Sex Pistols or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Wasn't his cousin in the Clash or the Sex Pistols or something? Yeah Mick Jones from The Clash, slightly odd one. There are very few politicians I really dislike, but he is one of them. Something utterly smug about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 IIRC he went on a visit to Blackpool the day after this tweet in an ironic twist of fate. An utter twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 There's something so patronising about the phrase 'hardworking people' that the Tories seem so find of using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Grant Shapps could be a poster boy for modern day Conservatism. This is not a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 An MP used a fake name to sell possibly illegal software, then lied repeatedly about having done so while being an MP, threatened to sue people who claimed he did then suddenly remembered that he did do it while being an MP when footage of him doing so emerged and no one should think it an issue. But does he have a second kitchen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
