So it would appear that Liam Fox is as stupid and self serving as we have come to expect of our political class in general. It is amazing that he resigned though. I thought that we had established that only criminal actions were a resigning matter, since New Labour introduced the New Morality into politics? The resignation being enough in itself and the sort of justice you and I could expect, arrest, court case, was then obviated.
You do have to admire Labour though. Unlike others, they, like a woman spurned will not give up and chase a story to ground. Don't get me wrong, when they uncover misdeeds they should do. But it does beg the question why we had to endure so much corruption and deceit under Blair and Brown, without anyone effectively hounding them.
Was the oh-so-obvious cover up of the death of David Kelly something that the Opposition thought they should go along with? Was it just because Cameron hoped he would get the same leeway if in a similar position, when Prime Minister? A dangerous pact to enter considering Labour are quite evidently a scheming bunch of ne'er do wells, unable to even maintain 'honour amongst thieves'.

Liam Fox
Liam Fox it seems has a friend whom he is helping out, by allowing him to be an unofficial adviser. Doesn't strike me as an ideal action from a Minister, but I haven't heard of any harm either. Word is rife though that he may have to resign.
We must have entered a different phase of politics as almost nothing was a resigning matter a few years ago. Ah yes, of course, Labour are in Opposition now so high standards, integrity and resigning are all back on the table. Whilst acting as a government and in their speeches since it is clear Labour don't actually have any policies and care little for anything other than themselves. But by God do they whinge.
As far as I can see this is a nonsense and should be resolved easily, but that is not what the Left want. Naturally, it is constant headline news for the BBC, the same organisation that didn't draw your attention to the fact that an unelected 'advisor' was put in charge of civil servants, quite against the rules, by Labour.
No, all the excitement over this affair is generated by the Left and its willing media friends. The Conservatives are rattled because they still seem to believe in matters of principle (something Blair deleted from government in May 1997).
