Jacqui Smith, quite frankly my dear, that’s not good enough

Jacqui Smith

It may have worked with the media, once again, but a cover-up is a cover-up (or should it be now called - a concealer?)

The lame excuse

Jonathan Aitken, now you can lie again

Jonathan AitkenJonathan Aitken seems to be very fortunate, just like David Blunkett. Disgrace yourself in a position of trust and then get paid to be a Chair.

Just as David Blunkett has managed to get himself the Chair of a commission for bringing more US yellow buses into the UK by his friends at FirstGroup, now Jonathan Aitken, who was jailed for 18 months in 1999 for “calculated perjury” during a libel action, was named this weekend as head of a prison reform review for the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), which is chaired by Mr Ian Duncan Smith.

Another sleeze, barefaced liar trying to run the country. It’s bad enough that Labour cover over the cracks that are appearing in their ranks. Now the Conservatives bring back a disgraced MP, who once quoted when launching his libel action in 1997

‘If it falls to me to start a fight to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country with the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play, so be it.’

When are we going to learn? Corruption runs through the backbone of our political parties faster than a Brazilian in an underground.

Why do we keep letting disgraced, corrupt, ex-cons have places in power? Jobs for the boys?

The taxpayer deserves better.
