The cash for honours fiasco. It would seem from this article (among many) (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=469680&in_page_id=1770&ct=5) that nobody is going to 'face the music' over this debacle!
Cash for honours: NOBODY will be charged
Lord Levy and No10 aide toast honours verdict
Now, you may label me a cynic, but I'm hardly surprised by this.
Plod thought they were bang to rights after spending God alone knows how many squillion on the case, passed it to the CPS who decide that nobody should be charged.
Why?????
Were they 'got at'? I'd suspect that they were. Watch for elevation to the Lords for senior CPS persons in the near future!
Me, a cynic?
A cynic, by the way, is what an idealist calls a realist!

I have a hunch that is wasnt so much a case of bumping them up if they dropped the case as threatening to bury them in an even bigger morass of half baked laws if they decided to continue.

Maybe they're all innocent?

It does seem extremely fishy

Yeah right, and Dubya is really a follower of Islam lol:

I am disgusted but not in the least surprised, They didn't call him Teflon Tone for nothing.
It does explain why he has chosen exile though.
Using the Roman Empire as a model, looking at the vast quantities of foreigners surging in, all with their own agenda's and an administration becoming more corrupt and disingenuous with every change, the slow erosion of civil rights and breakdown of morality and civility, we are not even in a position to fight for our freedom any more. I would say that we are on the last gasp of the current civilisation as we know it.
Maybe it's about time we started thinking about grabbing what we have and making a run for the door....

So Enoch was right then.

Enoch was a man a little ahead of his time.
No one ever believes anything until it has happened - then it's too late...
The amount of Jews that remained in Germany is testament to the everlasting hope that things will blow over.

I too was disgusted when I heard this on the radio the other day?
The thing is though there should be some accountability to the populace for the huge waste of time and resources. It was a sixteen month police investigation costing god knows what and the end result was never in doubt as far as I (or prolly any of us here) was concerned?
Where is the media or opposition demanding blood and explanations for the waste? No bloody where, that?s where.

All so predictable today as the Sunday Papers indulge in a bit of copper bashing.

It makes us a sad apology for a democratic state, where the government is corrupt, the police are hamstrung in virtually everything proper that they try to do, and yet have draconian powers over everyone else in the name of terror and worse, the Crown Prosecution Service is one of the most useless bunch of tossers anyone could wish for.
All that and the fact that even a sniff of justice for the average wronged citizen has been priced out of reach of all but the very rich - and of course - the government!
The very idea of pursuing the government for justice is now obviously dead, but just to be sure they now have the confidence to brazenly exempt themselves from the very laws needed to keep them in check.

But nobody listened.
They just thought it to be a rather good book.
