How Sez Sees It

Foxy has been tagging social trips on to official trips to meet Werritty, all paid for by the tax payer.  So we have been paying for them to have a little working holiday. Sri Lankan officials claim that Werritty offered to sell them arms when on a trip with Foxy.  Werritty also started several companies to match Foxy's job.  One was UK Health Ltd when Foxy was Shadow Health Secretary and the other was Security Futures when Foxy took on defence.  'CallmeDave' won't want Foxy to be on the back bench though as he is very right wing and has a lot of influence.  This would be too dangerous for the Tories in the coalition. The Lords are voting on the NHS reforms today.  If you want to keep this institution as it is then sign this: https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/message-to-lords In other news the NOTW hacker, Glenn Mulcaire, wants the victims to stop suing him as he feels persecuted.  Not a nice feeling, is it Glenn?

Foxy has been tagging social trips on to the end of official trips to meet his friend Werritty.  Because they are tagged on to the end of official trips he has been able to claim for them from tax payers' money, which means we have been paying for him to have a holiday with his bezzie.  On top of that Sri Lankan officials caims Werritty offered to sell them arms when on a trip with Foxy.  Werritty also started a string of businesses including UK Health Ltd when Foxy was Shadow Health Secretary and then Security Futures when Foxy took on defence.  So there was no attempt to cash in there... 'CallmeDave' won't want Foxy on the back bench as he is a right winger with lots of influence.  He would be too dangerous and would cause too many problems.  Still...wonder who burgled Foxy's Den? Today the House of Lords will vote on the NHS bill the governement want to push through.  This is basically a way of splitting up and privatising large areas of the N...

Yesterday PM David Cameron faced MPs in Parliament regarding his appointment of Andy Coulson.  His claims included that Chancellor George Osborne had suggested Coulson but that the decision to appoint him was entirely his own.  On top of that he was either unable or unwilling to answer the questions put forward to him by MPs such as the level of dealings he had with the Murdochs and Brooks or any discussion about the BSkyB takeover bid. I do believe that when he says the BSkyB decision was one for the Culture and Media Secretary Jeremy Hunt (I got that one right...http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/audio/2010/dec/06/james-naughtie-jeremy-hunt-radio-4) he was telling the truth.  I do think though that surely there must have been some detailed discussion between Cameron and Hunt over the BSkyB bid as this would have given Murdoch a huge stake in the British Media and it is something that Cameron would have had to have spoken about at some point, even if it was just to Andrew...

I was going to do this blog about the committees meeting today, but I think that things have changed somewhat and so I am going to do things a little differently now. I want to start by getting the events of the pie/shaving foam attack out of the way.  I am hardly Rupert Murdoch's biggest fan, but the man was there to answer questions to a serious parliamentary commission and on top of that is a man in his 80s.  He does not deserve to be hit in the face with shaving foam or whatever it was, by some dick who thinks it is big and clever.  In fact this could have been detrimental.  As US citizen's Rupert and James Murdoch did not have to even be there and could have refused to come back after the interval.  On top of that people will have some sort of respect for both of the Murdochs for coming back.  I want to state that no matter what I say today in this blog I could never condone the behaviour of the man that did that act. Ok, on to the other stuff. ...

Just a quick update.  The Assistant Commissioner to the Met, John Yates, has resigned over his failings as part of the Hackgate scandal.  It is currently unclear whether he was pushed politically or this is a case of him going of his own free will, however, he is going to be held accountable for his actions either way and that can only be a good thing.  The big question will be over how many more people will have to jump ship.  This is the most exciting thing to happen for a long time. The reason it is so exciting I think is that it encompasses many areas of life.  Politicians, police officers and media moguls have all been drawn into this issue and it is so widespread that it makes for exciting reading and times.  People we are supposed to be able to trust have come under the spotlight as bad boys and girls and this is something that people want to read and hear about.  I for one am guiltlessly engrossed.
