Süss Mandelson: I would work for the Tories
LORD Mandelson has disclosed that he is ready to accept a job under a
future Conservative government.
In an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, the business secretary
said he would be willing to put his experience at the disposal of the
country, if Labour lost power. As I grow older, I can imagine more
ways of serving my country than simply being a party politician,he
said.
Asked whether he might use his experience in business and world trade
under a future government, he said: If I was asked to do something
for my country using that asset base, of course, I would consider it.
On the specific point of whether he would consider requests from a
Conservative government, he said: Of course, it wouldnt be serving
the government, it would be serving the country and I wouldnt be
doing it by becoming a member of that government.

Yes, well, he put his shirt on his mate winning the Presidency of the
EU, with the benefits it would bring him.
Now he's having to scout around for another way to fill the pot.
Hugga-Hoodie-Dave must repudiate Mandelson without delay! - personally,
I'll vote for whoever swears an affidavit to the effect that their party
will have nothing whatsoever to do with him, even if that means voting
for the Green Beardie's!
