As result, he has been suspended from the party&#39;s e-mail list, denied access to the branch membership to campaign, and - worst of all - barred from the Auckland University pub. <br /><br />Young Alex vehemently protests his innocence and, according to the newspaper, even claims his home is being watched by agents from the New Zealand intelligence agencies. <br /><br />In that regard, at least, his father may be able to help. Lord Foulkes is a member of parliament&#39;s intelligence and security committee and has privileged access to all sorts of sensitive secretsAMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384911559335776492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-22003217762906355422009-09-09T11:11:41.401+01:002009-09-09T11:11:41.401+01:00Some days ago TB made a virtue of the fact that he hadn&#39;t been to Eton. That&#39;s a shame because had he had that advantage in life, he would know that someone styled &quot;Lord George Foulkes&quot; would be the son of a duke, or in this case a drink-sodden scumbag son of a duke.<br /><br />Glad to be able to help.Omnipresent OEAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-78998553541805145202009-09-09T10:26:16.251+01:002009-09-09T10:26:16.251+01:00TB...<br /><br />George Foulkes is the cringe of Scottish politics. This despicable little weird man with face cheeks like that of a Hamster storing its food for hibernation can dish it out but is like a little spoilt brat when its flung back at him.<br /><br />Its not surprising the Scotsman has mashed its article up a bit. Just about every quote in that rag is from George Foulkes.<br /><br />Glad you posted the hypocrisy of this stupid little man. Indeed he wheezes about other peoples expenses yet he himself was under investigation for his lavish expenses.<br /><br />The guy is so paranoid and farcical that he even mentioned cybernats posting on the Scotsman forums on News night, come on what other politician would sit up ll hours to read who said what on a little used and ill moderated forum ?<br /><br />TB a great article you have posted but just one thing, George Foulkes ain&#39;t Scottish, we have enough weird and wonderful characters of our own without adding this crack pot to our pot.AMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384911559335776492noreply@blogger.com
