Your government is laughing at you
Posted: March 29th, 2006 | Author: Aaron | Filed under: politics, uk |Does anyone else, just not buy the official line on the Cash for Peerages scandal?
Do you actually believe, that the government did not promise peerages, to those who lent money to the Labour Party? Even though those lenders, who had not already been honoured, were recommended? Does anyone out there believe that the three parties did not intentionally mislead the Electoral Commission?
Well as Simon Jenkins points out today, to be complicit in “assisting or endeavouring to procure the grant of a title,” one is to be punished with a two-year custodial sentence. Lord Levy and Mr. Blair should be worried, as it clear both have been involved in the sale of peerages.
Are you going to just let this pass?
Are we going to let this, sanctimonious and authoritarian rabble of feckless pretenders, squirm and spin their way out of criminal prosecution? This is your government, legitimised less that 12-months ago, in a general election. The government that has created hundreds of new criminal offences, ordered you to carry ID cards, and erected CCTV and speed cameras up and down the land, to catch you breaking the law. They have broken the law of the land and they refuse to own up to it, they refuse to be accountable.
I hope the ongoing investigation, by Met detective John Yates, lifts every stone, demands every document, and interviews every single insidious character that poisons our body politic. And I hope he crucifies everyone guilty.
If you lie down, and let the criminals who occupy the benches of our parliament, get away with this, then you don’t deserve to live in a democracy. Write to your local MP, your national and local paper, telephone the BBC, and rant on your blogs. Do not let these people piss on our sacred democracy any longer.
You’re governed by liars and cheats. Stand up for yourself.

All governments laugh at their “subjects”. The British one couldn’t be less.
Either we stand up, as you say, or the roller will see to it that we are left flat down.
I suppose the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the opposition parties are similarly guilty and thus have no leverage. I was initially shocked that Cameron didn’t more aggressively pursue the issue. What is somewhat perplexing to me is why Jack Dromey expressed such bewilderment if the problem runs so deep. How could a treasurer be so far out of the loop?
I think the fact that the treasurer was unawares suggests the decision to limit those who knew, suggesting a deliberate attempt to keep the loans covert.
I feel for Cameron because he’s trying to portray a new modern Tory Party, yet skeletons remain in the cupboard.
