Investigation into Damian Green grinds to a halt.

What has happened to the Damian Green investigation?

Any other person, in any other job, would, by now, have been sacked for gross misconduct and misuse of company facilities. (The porn Green was allegedly viewing on a daily basis became illegal just a few days after the discovery).

Damian Green remains in position and the "investigation", being carried out by Sue Gray, one of the most powerful officials in Whitehall, seems to have ground to a standstill.

Could it be that as Damian Green is effectively the Deputy Prime Minister and one of the few remaining close allies of Prime Minister Theresa May, it is deemed to be more important to keep Green in his position at the cabinet table than to conclude the investigation?

The stench of political expediency has often wafted around Downing Street and Parliament, but the clear demonstration that one set of rules applies to Green and other people in privileged positions within government, whilst the rest of us are subject to the full authority of management and due process, is yet another example of the shameful way in which the government of this country is implemented.

The wretched way in which Theresa May clings on to office, supported by discredited cabinet members is shameful and brings politics into sordid disrepute.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson. "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
