Mayors aide must go!
Lee Jasper’s position has been described as “untenable” by all three opposition parties as damaging emails revealed the extent of his involvement in the City Hall scandal.
The internal London Development Agency emails were released to the London Assembly as it investigates the LDA’s funding of 13 suspect projects run by Mr Jasper - Mayor Ken Livingstone’s race adviser - or his friends.
The Assembly inquiry was triggered after the Standard identified a number of projects run by friends of Mr Jasper which have been paid at least £3.3 million by City Hall but have produced little, if anything, to show for it.
Assembly members were questioning Mr Livingstone and senior officials of the LDA over the funding scandal today at a special session. Emails released to assembly members show that:
• LDA officials did not want to fund many of the projects but were pressured into doing so by Mr Jasper.
• Mr Jasper repeatedly pestered the LDA to provide more and more funding and prevented it from acting against one project even when it acted “illegally”, according to one email.
• Hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money was paid to the projects without any paperwork to show what it was for.
• At least £137,000 was paid without even an LDA sign-off.
• A £300,000 contract was awarded to one of Mr Jasper’s friends without the normal tender process or competition.
• LDA officers said that one of their board members, whose organisations received more than £1 million from the agency, had “a conflict of pecuniary interest” and may have breached its code of conduct.
The emails contradict claims by Mr Jasper that he did “not get involved” in funding decisions for the projects or have any “day-to-day involvement” with them. They also contradict a claim by Mr Livingstone that there was a “full audit trail” for all the suspect projects.
Brian Paddick, the Lib-Dem candidate for mayor, said: “This is a very sad day, not just for Lee Jasper but for the black community in London. From the evidence that I have seen it appears to me that Mr Jasper’s position is untenable and he should resign.”
Damian Hockney, assembly member for the One London party, said: “The key question the Mayor needs to answer today is why did he tell us there was a full audit trail for these projects. We can now definitively say that that is simply untrue. If Ken was lying, he should stand down. If Lee Jasper lied to him, Jasper should be sacked.”
The British National Party’s People’s Champion - Richard Barnbrook had this to say;
“For the betterment of politics it should not become personal wrangling. However, in this case I feel I have the higher ground in saying that Mr Jasper is an odious man, and to quote Mr Darcus Howe:- “He is hugely unpopular”.
What right does Jasper have to hound an individual such as Simone Clarke out of the job as the principal dancer of the English National Ballet, for simply being a member of a lawful political party. This man has to go.
Mayor Livingstone have the strength of conviction and Sack Jasper.”

People like this should have their ill gotten gains taken from them.
It looks as if they can keep all they have made, so it’s worth fiddling as much as you can before it hits the fan!
Time for the Mayor and his communist cronies to answer to the law for fraud.I hope they enjoy there new positions after they are thrown out. Sewing mail bags.
If he is guilty of fraud then the full weight of the law must come down on him.And depending on how much money was involved he should be made to pay every penny back even if that means siezing his bank account and assetts.Then Commie Ken must also be forced to stand down as this man is clearly of his rocker,may i recomend people to watch the Court of Ken for an insight into this mans commie mind,but be warned some of his closest comrades have made comments about a blood bath against the middle classes.Parental guidance is advised.Funny though how there was no uproar in the media about some of the aspects of the programme its almost as if radical Communism is accepted as being ok talk about double standards….
Watch Red Ken try and play the race card as he wriggles and squirms to get out of this one!
A Million pounds of tax payers money flushed down the pan!
Why am I not surprised.
It’s hard to switch from Fallen Heroes articles to risen scum ones like these. We should all salute the News Team for being able to write so dispassionately about the Jaspers of this world and the underworld they live in - without resorting to expletive upon expletive!
How many of our fallen heroes is a scumbag like this Lee Jasper worth? How far is infinity? How long is forever? Is this Jasper worth a single carrot? Would our wellbeing be affected if he went missing tomorrow, never to return?
Are there any aliens out there listening or reading this!?
Despairing Dan,You mentioned the dreaded race card well guess what Commie Ken has just announced that its a racist witch hunt by the media on his racist mate (i hate white people) Jasper.
We really are turning into a banana republic.
Brian Padick, the ex top cop and now, the Lib-Dem pervert party’s ”infamous member”, say’s that ”this is a sad day for the Black community”. It always is. Ethnic minorities have been used as political fodder for a generation, and leaders such as Jasper, Mugabe, and other Marxists always dump on the white tax payer, and their own ”brothers”. This should go a long way to further reducing people’s dependence on the ”mainstream” media and political trough-guzzlers - Hain the anti-white, Marxist immigrant, is even more recent proof of this sorry state we are all in.
Come on though, did anyone expect anything else but this fiasco from ugly ken and his sidekicks. While ken flounced around with a holier than thou attitude it was obvious that behind the scenes is a devious money grabbing/hiding little man not fit for purpose. The sooner he’s out the better. A full investigation must now be called for by the police to try and trace the stolen money and prosecutions against ken and barby, sorry, jasper brought about.
Where is the accountability?
Where is the media?
Where are the criminal charges?
Where is the outcry from the black community who have been badly let-down by these two fraudsters?
However, it’s a great opportunity for the BNP at such a crucial time.
How about dishing out some sharia law on this bunch of anti-british crooks? Perhaps they should have their hands chopped off, or be subjected to a jolly good stoning.
This reptile Livingstone has already started bleating ‘racist’ as he slithers about giving evasive answers about missing public money. So predictable, and completely contemptible.
This ‘mayor of London’ also feels that it is his absolute right, to allocate council resources on the basis of his particular personal preferences. The GLA has facilities which may be hired out for conferences at something like £6,000 a go. Registered charities are often given free or drastically discounted use of these facilities. However, if an interest group or politically-affiliated organisation is to Ken’s personal liking, the rules no longer apply; so the CND gets the charity treatment despite the fact that it is a political organisation, not a charity.
The attempt to ‘justify’ this selective interpretation of the rules, was as weak as his evasion regarding the mysterious financial ‘transactions’ involving the LDA and his friend Jasper. Also, the initial response to claims (later proved 100% accurate) of free holidays in Nigeria for staff, was simply to tell an outright lie: the person in question was not out of the country at the time. Oh yes they were. Londoners were paying.
The question now is: Are we going to swap a lying, dogmatic, terrorist-toadying sleazeball, for a buffoon who is best left to the unwitting amusement of viewers on t.v. panel games?
“A gunman (Charles Lee “Cookie” Thornton) has stormed Kirkwood City Hall in Missouri during a council meeting, killing two police officers and three city officials”
Mr Thornton the British people cordially invite you to London City Hall – we got a couple of guys we’d love you to meet!! read the full story here (hehe)

Mr.Jasper appears to have brought the political conduct and levels of honesty seen in the average African country to the streets of London. Aided and abetted, of course, by Marxist left wingers like Mr.Livingstone.
How any sane member of the indigenous majority could now think of casting their vote for Livingstone in the May elections is totally beyond me.
Not only the Mayor’s aide, but the Mayor and all his corrupt cronies should be flushed into the Thames, without further ceremony; where their toxicity will eventually be diluted and London, that once great city, will be cleansed of this Marxist filth.
As the picture above shows Mr Jasper is hardly a ‘black’ man at all. Black by profession much more than ethnicity. Like the Nazis the liberal left have introduced a new set of Nuremberg laws, under which a person with one black and one white parent becomes ‘black’ automatically. Look at Obama in the US - one white parent one black parent, and I’m sure it was the white parent that raised him, supported him and gave him the smarts to get where he is today.
But of course, he’s ‘black’.
To get back to the point, Jasper is no use as anything but a professional ‘black man’. Like Trevor Phillips he is part of a huge and growing number of parasites living off hard-working tax payers who contribute nothing, but make a fortune off the colour of their skin alone. And hand out our money to their cronies and pals without the slightest pretence of democratic accountability.
As usual Livingstone can do nothing but try to smear his critics. I hope the BNP can rid us of this drunken fool soon - I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to vote BNP in the May elections.
