Metropolitan police chief condemns former officers over Damian Green claims

As I have argued before, any other person, in any other job, would, by now, have been sacked for gross misconduct and misuse of company facilities. Why is Damian Green so different from the rest of us? What is it about this long term friend and associate of Theresa May, (pictured below, side by side at at an Oxford University Edmund Burke Society dinner in 1976, with Green's future wife sitting in the front row) that make him, apparently, immune from investigation or even criticism?.

The way in which the political "establishment" are now rallying to the support of the First Secretary of State, Minister for the Cabinet Office and de facto Deputy Prime Minister, demonstrates quite clearly that retaining Green in government and in cabinet far outweighs the need to establish one way or the other, what the facts of this sordid episode actually are. The stench of political expedience again wafting around Westminster and Downing Street.

In an effort to divert attention from the real issues, and to raise the possibility of prosecutions against others, Metropolitan Police Chief Cressida Dick and some MP allies of Green, are suggesting that former officers Neil Lewis and Bob Quick were wrong to discuss allegations that pornography was found on Green's computer, and that they should be investigated and for "breaking confidentiality" with files being passed to the Director of Public Prosecutions. The observer might be excused for thinking that the establishment were already busy lining up their scapegoats for future punishment.
I return to the point I made at the beginning of this comment, that any other person, in any other job, would, by now, have been sacked for gross misconduct and misuse of company facilities. I cannot help but think that had an ordinary member of staff be found with such material on their computer, they would have by now been attending their local jobcentre seeking another position and drawing their benefits.



SCAPEGOATS.

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...

The writing on the wall

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...
