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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
