Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice is a serious crime. You can spin and lie to the press with impunity but this is something else. <BR/><BR/>The lackadaisical attitude to this on the part of government supporters is very telling indeed. Maybe the other parties are in glass houses when it comes to cash for honours, but I honestly don't believe any of them would be so detached both from reality and morality as to do what it is alleged Blair's people have done.<BR/><BR/>Whether or not they are guilty it is damning that, such is their record of spin, they are so widely suspected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-430739878218746802007-03-06T19:12:00.000+00:002007-03-06T19:12:00.000+00:00Rusbridger has felt obliged to talk to the rabble ...Rusbridger has felt obliged to talk to the rabble he so despises, and who pay his 400K salary, i.e. Guardian readers, on the CiF blog.

Ruth Turner was arrested and released on bail, hauled in a second time for questioning and is currently out on bail again. Tony Blair has been questioned by Scotland Yard twice.<BR/><BR/>Liz - these aren't members of the Cabinet or ordinary backbenchers. These are all denizens of No 10 Downing Street - the center of power; the rats' nest.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile John Prescott punched a member of the public on the nose and got away with it. Jack Straw's driver, with Straw in the car, drove down the MI at 104 mph and got away with it. David Blunkett's still enjoying ministerial privileges although he hasn't been a minister for a year. John Prescott brought his office of state into laughable disgrace. John Prescott travelled to a ranch in Colorado to "discuss William Wilberforce" and didn't disclose the presents he received from his host. Tessa Jowell pretended to have left her husband after his crooked dealings - to which she was so privy that her signature was all over loan applications - became public, although he has since moved back in. Cherie Blair walks through the Green Channel carrying $15,000 worth of free gifts and jewellery on flight from New York.
