A Tweet from the pen of the obnoxious and patronising Carole Malone with her usual verbal diarrhea, is typical of many posted. " Was that a bow from Corbyn as he laid his wreath y or an excuse for one?— Carole Malone (@thecarolemalone) November 8, 201" The words on Jeremy Corbyn's tribute. Where was Corbyn after the wreath laying ceremony? Some or most, of the sycophantic dignitaries were in the Whitehall state rooms quaffing sherry and tucking into the cucumber sandwiches without crusts. Corbyn was on Horse Guards Parade talking to the people ...

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/may/18/pfizer-lay-out-final-astrazeneca-takeover-proposal Pfizer raises stakes with final AstraZeneca takeover approach Ian Read, Pfizer chief executive To quote from a Blog I posted( http://new-agenda2012.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/pfizer-astrazeneca-and-tweet-from.html) on Thursday 15th May, I saw the "questioning" session of the Pfizer CEO and Financial director by the Commons select committee on television and conclude that their "testimony" was evasive, misleading and vague at best.

Today, 17th May 2014, the Guardian publishes this story of how Pfizer Executives, Ian Read, chief executive sold $10.6m in shares on 26 February, Frank D'Amelio, chief financial officer, sold $8.9m of stock on the same day and other Pfizer executives offloading shares included Loretta Cangialosi, the firm's principal accounting officer and controller, who sold $3.1m in shares on 3...

Roll up rapists.' One definition rapist is " an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation ".
