Priorities

This report will doubtless become the focus for more Party political rumpus. It is critical but the matters it condemns (sale of peerages, cronyism and a few others) are hardly the most serious failings of the wretched crew gathering round 10 Downing Street like maritime rats looking for the Exit sign. So - someone gets a peerage in reward for a bung. So what? Just how much honour is there left in politics that the integrity of a rump really matters. Does a half-million baronet save a kid from being stabbed in the street? How many Dukes to tackle a drug dealer?

It is not freedom from sleaze that we need. It is positive action to deal with problems. Really deal with them - not just massage their existence away with Action Plans never implemented after funds are allocated.
