What Does HSBC Stand For?

Suggestions welcome.

I found it many things, but not surprising, that when the courtier papers went looking for drugs and prostitution hand in glove with party political connections in high finance, allegedly the only example turned out to have been at the Co-op. As the young people used to say, "Yeah, right!"

Now, how about some investigation into The Reverend Prebendary The Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint? He is an Anglican clergyman in good standing, whereas the Methodists have long since suspended Paul Flowers indefinitely. He was Minister of State for Trade and Investment until December 2013, whereas Ed Miliband has met Flowers only once, while Ed Balls has never met him. He was already the former when he was Chairman of HSBC and it was laundering money for the drug cartels of Mexico and Colombia.

As, indeed, when it was doing the things for which it stands exposed tonight.

Lord Green also produced the Church of England's recent report on spotting and grooming clerical talent. His wisdom is therefore now to be applied in choosing the custodians of many of this country's most important historic buildings, in choosing the authorities responsible for vast landed estates and investment portfolios, in choosing the media's and many public bodies' go-to sources of moral and spiritual guidance, and in choosing the occupants of 26 seats in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Meanwhile, I have had dealings in the past with the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party, which is a fine body in very many ways. If Gibraltar is among the several British Overseas Territories that are not tax havens, then it need have no worry about Ed Miliband. And if his proposal would also involve blacklisting Spain or Germany, then so be it.

  2. This is what comes from not having you in Parliament. This seat should have been yours 10 years ago. When Hilary was finally put out to graze, the CLP couldn't find anyone who had ever been active in it, or anyone under 50. Everyone who knew you politically will now tell anyone who'll listen that you should have been our MP. The creature that killed your political career committed a kind treason, damaging the country as a whole by keeping you out of Parliament.
