- February 2010 - Paul Flowers attends reception, with Ed Miliband present

- April 2010 - Flowers appointed chairman of Co-op Bank and vice-chairman of Co-op Group

- September 2011 - Flowers resigns as Labour councillor in Bradford after pornography is found on his council laptop

- 31 March 2012 - Co-op Group donates £50,000 through Labour Party to support shadow chancellor Ed Balls' office

- 6 March 2013 - Ed Miliband meets Flowers to discuss banking reform

- 1 April 2013 - Labour takes out £1.2m loan from Co-op Bank, to be repaid by 2016


... work it out for yourself !!!!!

It now turns out that after Flowers was sacked as a (Labour) Councillor - for having porn on his council computer - the Labour group continued to support him as a school governor !

what's all the fuss about ?

did nothing illegal.

It's getting worse -

"Disgraced former Co-Op bank boss, Paul Flowers, claimed £75,000 in false expenses from a drugs charity, it has been claimed.

Mr Flowers, a former Labour councillor, clocked up the claims over five years during his time as the chairman of the trustees at Lifeline, according to the charity's chief executive Ian Wardle".

These Loonies sure know how to line their OWN pockets (while pretending to help others who are too soft to see through it !)

Flowers only crime seems to be that he supports Labour
The porno on his computer was legal - some busybody IT geek found it shocking though - but NOT illegal
He claimed around £9000 a year in expenses whilst carrying out an unpaid role with lifeline - sounds reasonable to me, and he was never charged for a criminal offence - NOT illegal
He allegedly smoked cocaine and Ketamine - but we are still awaiting proof of that
He rented boys - Wow! have you seen the photo of Ciaron Dodd - VERY NICE! - but NOT illegal
But the biggest problem - being a Labour Councillor, meeting with Ed - but NOT illegal

The one thing is was guilty of was cottaging 30 years ago - but Hey, who wasn't cottaging 30 uears ago - I miss those days!

And of course buying hard drugs is also legal?

we don't know if he did buy and smoke drugs as it's just an allegation and I've checked with Manchester Boys as I intended to hire Ciaron for an in-depth interview but sadly he is no longer there.

Instead I've booked a muscular black gentleman to see if he can illuminate me.

Mr Wardle said that the "total cost of clearing up the mess" left by Mr Flowers during his time at the charity, which helps people with drug and alcohol problems, was £150,000.

.... to seduce young boys / men

He is a predator of the worst kind - ingratiating himself into places (school governor / homeless charity) where he could prey on the vulnerable.

Oh dear Pattaya - he has not been found guilty of that, the videos are unclear and were taken by a guy 'stitching him up' - probably at the Mail on Sundays guidance
In fact, apart from a cottaging offence over 30years ago, he has no criminal convictions, and has done nothing illegal
I am amazed at his stamina! - I'd vote for him

Hardly time to go through judicial procedure,that will unravel in good time.

Oh, hedda - do you ever get it right ?

Paul Flowers arrested over drugs allegations

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25047376

I too was keen to know more about Ciaron Dodd, but my research on the web came up with some VERY interesting facts

Carion Dodd born 1960 profession Actor was appointed a Director of Adam de Wolfe Ltd on 4th March 2013 - same time he was seeing Paul Flowers.

The other Director of Adam de West Ltd is Colin Barden Born 1960 - Colin Bardon was imprisoned for fraud in 2005 for 2.5 years after pretending to be a banker.

Interesting that Adam de West is a Financial Services Company (with a paid up capital of just £2 !!!).

Are they the same people - yes - see twitter.com/bluenorth74 which is Colin Barden's twitter account, and look at the second photo - captioned "This is the man of my future"

Also see www.colinbarden.com/ and compare the photo on his Twitter account - same person! identified by his facial spots

The question was Paul Flowers aware of Carion's activities as a Financial Services Company Director, was he involved in arranging loans for Adam de West Ltd - was he, as I suspect, played 'hook, line and sinker' by this little shit!

So, are we to feel sympathy for someone who has risked an entire Bank - and lead to the closure of 50 branches (with no doubt many job losses) - because he had twitchings in his trousers ?
