Passed national secrets to Russian agents. News will break tomorrow.

And people think he had good intentions for the club? He robbed us and ruined us.

Hopefully they will dig into his finances now. We might be due a refund, or at least some PPI.

To be fair, he's got a review in the national media as a top shagger. That's all i got from that article

I'm no fan of Robinson but it wouldn't be the first Daily Mail / Tory baseless hatchet job on somebody associated with Labour or trade unions etc.
Funny really, the Mail gives credibility to communist sources when it suits.

Did realise Robinson was such a player with some seriously attractive women - he’s James Bond

All seems a bit far fetched. As Paymaster General is one of the top 3 or 4 jobs in government he would’ve been privy to all sorts of information. Didn’t he have to resign due to a loan or something like that?

Peter Mandelson’s first resignation from the Blair cabinet was caused when it emerged that he had taken an undeclared loan from Geoffrey Robinson in order to buy a home. They both left the government as a result.

Champagne socialist who hosted Blair's Tuscan holidays and had an affair with an Italian actress | Daily Mail Online

Mr Robinson, who will be 81 later this month, has also long been a director of Coventry City Football Club but he has scaled back his business commitments and his pursuit of the high life as his health has started to fail.

The only MP with a 100% attendance record - Dennis Skinner - has long said so.

During debates on controversial subjects such as cuts to disability payments, there are seldon more than three or four MPs present from each side, and the ones on the Tory benches look as if they'd rather be anywhere else than listening to the debate.

Robinson’s link to this Italian mega rich actress was well known and I am certain she became a bit of a Sky Blue fan and put a bit of money our way at the time.

There’s no way Geoffrey Robinson has/had the capability required to be a spy.

Spies? What are their back grounds ? the most thorough the likes of Guy Burgess Angus MacClean Kim Philby etc. part of the Cambridge five are ex public school, the type rags such as the Mail love. yet proclaimed almost every shop steward and conveyor, reds under the beds, were paid up members of the KGB.

Who sat on the justice Taylor committee into stadium seating = GR
Who leaked the findings of the report to his mate and WBA board member Mike Mginity = GR
Who then bought a stadium seating company that was going bust for £1 = MM
Who then got the big contracts to re fit national stadiums worth millions = MM
Who then left WBA and ended up on the board of ccfc next to his best mate GR =MM.

All the above is alleged, but feel free to do your own research.
