If I had employed someone

[dothawkes31]

and not passed their ID and proof of right to work onto my HR department, i would have been disciplined, but I would never have done that, I am not that thick. If my HR department had accepted the application form from my department for the new member of staff, and the proof of ID and right to work documents had not been included, they would have chased me for them and I would have been disciplined for taking someone on without obraining them, and so Baroness Scotland was rightly fined. But if she interviewed the applicant and took her on, how did she not know the woman's visa had expired? The right to work in the UK proof is essential for NI and Tax purposes, how has Tax and insurance been deducted and where has it been paid to? Or is this how the 'error' was discovered?

If I were the Attorney General, I would expect to be able to commit murder and get away with it (one of the many perks of the job).

If I were the Attorney General and illegally employed someone – for which the Boarder Agency fined me £5,000, I would know how useless I was (and had no friends either).

Gordon Brown has given her his full backing – ministerial code for ‘clear your desk’.

Doesn't need to be a "major criminal".

"Minor criminal" and "Attorney General" are incompatible.
