How low can you go?

Frank Field proves this government can go very low, very low indeed.

From CiF: -

A successful terrorist attack on London could make part of the capital uninhabitable for decades and make Britain permanently poorer. Yet, while London awaits its fate, Scotland Yard is fiddling away on an enquiry into the alleged sale of honours. How can the Metropolitan commissioner defend this enquiry as the best use of scarce police resources?

In criticising the Metropolitan Police commissioner for a serious misuse of police time I have not assumed that there is no case to answer on the honours front. No 10 has at the very least been sailing close to the wind. The whole saga is tacky, to put it mildly.

Gee, someone’s been learning tricks from the Bushies…

    [...] It seems the utter claptrap being peddled by No.10 lackey, Frank Field (who promises Tim Ireland he’s no arse-licker), has put fire in the belly of one Sir Ken Macdonald, the director of public prosecutions, who has taken it upon himself to call into question the preposterous notion of “The War on Terror (♪der DER♪).” [...]

    Ask Ruth Kelly about “how low can you go?”

    If she does resign over the equality legislation she is breaking the fundamentals of her Opus Dei beliefs, I wonder what she prefers, power or principles?

    Well, his arguments have been thoroughly demolished by the commenters. Worth reading – the public aren’t as stupid or as gullible as Nu Lab think, as the comments show.
