Dennis The Menace
Dennis McShane has managed to evade having his collar felt by the boys in blue for claiming £125,000 for a garden shed…sorry, ‘office’, says Guido.
Guido also says McShane employed his own brother, Edmund Matyjaszek as an interpreter.
I have never looked at McShane’s background in detail before but reading that on Guido a lot became very clear….along with a quick look at Wikipedia.
McShane is an ardent Europhile…so much so that in a BBC interview he stated that Eurosceptics were ‘xenophobic, stupid, little Englanders’.
Much about his attitude and Labour’s immigration policy might also be explained when you realise McShane is actually Polish by descent…and worked for the BBC to boot!
‘MacShane was born in Glasgow[3] as Denis Matyjaszek, to an Irish mother, Isobel MacShane, and her Polish husband, Jan Matyjaszek.
MacShane married Polish-born Liliana Kłaptoć in 1983, with the relationship lasting only a few years. In 1987, he then married Nathalie Pham, an interpreter of French-Vietnamese origin.
After graduating from Oxford with a 3rd class degree, he worked for the BBCfrom 1969 to 1977, including as a newsreader and reporter on Wolverhampton Wanderers for BBC Radio Birmingham. He changed his surname to his mother’s maiden name at the request of his employers. He was fired by the BBC after using a fake name to call the radio phone-in programme he worked on at the time. During the call, MacShane accused leading Conservative politicianReginald Maudling of being a crook, with the MP threatening to sue as a result.’
When the BBC give a great deal of airtime to such people and their pet projects it might be an idea to flag up certain defining characteristics about them that influence their decisions….if they want a lot of Polish people to come to this country perhaps it might help to know what informed at least part of their decision, i.e…they are Polish themselves. Similarly with Turkish entry to the EU…. Boris Johnson wants Turkey in the EU…he is of Turkish origin. Osborne’s brother converted to Islam, and many others in the ‘Establishment’ have similar family ’links’…no chance of any move to limit the encroachment of Islam then. The BBC are concerned about the Right Wing leanings of think tanks or lobbyist’s connections to big business but fails to highlight what motivates certain politicians…unlike Bob Diamond of Barclays(ex) whose motivations for releasing information connecting the Bank of England and Labour to the Libor scandal was questioned thoroughly today.
