Mandy is clearly poorly educated or has no manners, probably both.

Why are you totally unable to detach anything from your own vindictive personal agenda?

You could so easily have argued that he lost his nerve or whatever, but no, you chose to somehow extrapolate that he's poorly educated? I wonder how anyone takes you seriously. (They probably don't to be fair, I don't know).

And just to throw a few facts in, a 'maverick' Conservative recently had a similar (much lengthier) rant, using similar bad language - is he also poolry educated? Or are you just vomiting double standards, as per usual?

Oh, and Mandelson read Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford. I think it would be hard to tick the "poorly educated" box with that background. You may not like the man, but if you're going to bash him, at don't start making stuff up.

Mandelson and the rest of the Nu Labour Reich are rattled and rapidly losing the plot. They know electoral oblivion awaits them next year.

But it doesn't wait for Mandy does it? Isn't he a Lord? So he will just carry on being a Lord. Nice job if you can get it.

Lord and minister, yes. Just Lord, maybe not. It's unpaid for a start.

I thought they got paid in cash? Irregular amounts granted, but a few thou' undeclared every now and then. Plus free foreign holidays on oligarch's yachts. Or have I been reading the wrong newspaper?

btw I'm not knocking it, if I could do it I would. Lord Mewbie of MSE - it would do. Plus I already hate Starbucks.

OK, I'll stick with no manners then. Anyone who uses the language of the chav from the sink-estate at a diplomatic cocktail reception clearly has no concept of how to represent his country and those of use who deplore the casual use of the f-word.

Umm the f word is part of our glorious language, it is most definitely not restricted to the chav.

They're paid expenses yes, but they don't receive a salary. And I doubt very much any of it is undeclared! Wrong newspaper indeed I suspect

HE'S A SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE AND YOU'RE A SLEAZY !!!!, EVERYONE TELLS MANDELSON

LORD Mandelson has been given a resounding answer to his question of who the !!!! Starbucks boss Howard Schultz thinks he is.
Earlier this week the business secretary launched a blistering attack on the coffee house tycoon after Schultz claimed the British economy was exactly as bad as it currently is.
But last night everyone in Britain contacted Lord Mandelson to say how much they wished Mr Schultz was running the economy instead of a sleazy lounge lizard and his idiot friends.

Taxpayer Tom Logan said: "He grew up on a council estate, turned Starbucks into one of the biggest brands in history and built a $1bn fortune and you got one of your millionaire chums to pay for your fancy house and then lied about it.
"He has won awards for his support for AIDS charities and you tried to help two of your millionaire chums skip the passport queue.
"He has created jobs for 172,000 people in every corner of the globe and you got a £1 million pension from the EU for doing !!!! all and now seem to spend an awful lot of time on other people's yachts.
"And he clearly knows a thing or two about business while you were the 'mastermind' behind a political movement which has !!!!ed a trillion pounds of our money up the wall and driven the country to the brink of bankruptcy."
Mr Logan added: "Oh yeah, and before I forget, you were also in charge of the Millennium Dome.
"So that's who he is and that's who you are. Although you can probably make a better cup of coffee."
