"Tories must pay back expenses or face the sack."

Actually Dave, they've acted immorally and dishonestly - these are not favourable criteria for politicians, much less for future government ministers. So you should sack them and make clear that there behavior isn't welcome in the Conservative Party. 

Sack them now and take the year between now and general election to find decent, honest MPs.

A threat to national security?

Back again, more Labour stupidity. Is Damian Green a threat to national security? That could surely be the only relevant reason for his arrest..
Obviously last week the whole Damian Green arrest farce has been the main story in the press.
At least something good may come of this - it will surely damage Labour in the polls.

Anyway, today is the Queen's Speech and it will be followed by a statement from the Speaker of the House on his role in allowing the Met Police to raid an MP's office, thus breaking the centuries old tradition of Parliamentary Privilege.

For an unusually good article and interview, check out the BBC's take on the Speech.

And we're back..

Sometimes you read something that incenses you so much that you have to share with other people:

Jacqui Smith: Complete Idiot

In this article, you can see how intelligent Jacqui Smith is. She announces that she will issue 10,000 stun guns to police to make the country safer. The next day, the biggest force in the country announces it has no intention of using them!

Perhaps next time she might consult with the police forces across the country before placing a large order for equipment we don't need.

Bomb suspect "pressured into it"

A July 21st bomb suspect told how went through with preparations for a bomb attack because he feared for his life if he refused.

Surely he felt that being a suicide bomber would also endanger his life?

Throw away the book...

Blair says: Tories won't win the election

Apparently, while Mr Blair believes that the Conservative Party have become a more "effective opposition", he does not believe they have closed the gap sufficiently to win the next election.

Well, I for one hope he is wrong. The of having yet another Labour government is simply too much to bear.

But Blair, being the buffoon he is, has almost certainly got it wrong.

In a contest of Brown -vs- Cameron, it's hard to imagine many undecideds voting for Brown.
And while Cameron will ensure that his party get maximum votes, I think there will be a lot of Labour voters who simply stay at home come a general election with Gordon Brown at the top of the ballot.

Scotland Yard turns file over to Crown Prosecution Service

So, at long last the Police have turned over their "Honours for Cash" file over to the CPS.

In a year long probe, over the course of which they interviewed over 100 people, the police have produced a 216 page report.

And for what...

The only real thing this will achieve is to further waste tax payers money.

There is, after all, no chance that the report will indicate any wrong doing by the PM, or his senior colleagues. And if there was, no judge in the land would be brave enough to reside over that case.

Two things will happen:

1) The CPS will decide not to prosecute due to lack of evidence / no wrong-doing.
2) The CPS will prosecute, and some middling politician / staff member will be convicted, despite the fact that they were only obeying orders. This is defined at a fall-guy. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_guy for more details.

This whole thing is a pure farce.
