How about melting the iron lady down and re-mould her into a cast iron bath, either to cool down in the old fashion way, or alternatively join the flotilla of outcasts as a swimming abode, soon all to be sunk by appointed BA executive order, into the never dredged muddy corners of their watery universe. nevermind    Report

QED   "BAE accused of £100m secret payments to seal South Africa arms deal"   "More than £100m was secretly paid by the arms company BAE to sell warplanes to South Africa, according to allegations in a detailed police dossier seen by the Guardian yesterday. The leaked evidence from South African police and the British Serious Fraud Office quotes a BAE agent recommending "financially incentivising" politicians... ...Critics said the country, beset by unemployment and HIV/Aids, could not afford it. The Hawks, rejected by the military, cost twice as much as Italian equivalents... ...An SFO affidavit says: "I believe that a reference to 'third world procedures' is a veiled reference to the payment of bribes... ...Offshore financial advisers of the Thatcher family are also named as potential witnesses in affidavits. Jersey accountant Hugh Thurston, who advised the former Conservative prime minister and her family, has given information to SFO investigators. He was involved, according to the police report, in setting up offshore companies for a South African politician's aide. The aide, Fana Hlongwane, was adviser to Modise. Hlongwane's cash was allegedly covertly distributed to accounts offshore and in China. Another member of the former Thatcher circle, and a potential witness, named in the files is businessman Alan Curtis. Curtis, sometime chairman of Lotus Cars, was a business associate of the late Denis Thatcher and his son Mark. A British Virgin Islands-registered, Swiss-based, offshore company linked to him received £8.5m, the report says, for its part in helping promote the 1999 arms contract."   http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/06/bae-arms-trade   http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/bae      Report
