Inspector Clouseau


I laughed out loud earlier today as I read on the BBC's news ticker - that the Police are now conducting an urgent investigation into the deliberate leaking of confidential statements (made to the Police) - as a result of the Downing Street 'spat' involving the Government's chief whip, Andrew Mitchell .

Now since the only people who could possibly have shown these documents to The Sun newspaper are the Police themselves - we should surely get the result of the Police investigation very soon.

I imagine some of their best officers have been put on the job - and been told to leave no stone unturned in their search for the culprits.

Seems to me that the Police are only too happy leak confidential information when it suits their purpose - and that News International stable is still a very reliable route for the Police to use in their efforts to manipulate the news agenda.

I thought that Private Eye put the whole issue in proper perspective - with this article which appears in the latest edition of the satirical magazine.

Hillsborough
KNACKER: 'IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN'

By Our Crime Editor Harry Fibbs

Chief Inspector "Knacker of the Yard" Knacker told reporters last night:

"This sort of organised cover-up would never happen today. The modern police are not nearly organised enough to coordinate such a sophisticated operation. After all, it only took a couple of years for our involvement with News International to come to light, as opposed to the twenty three years it took everyone to rumble what we were up to at Hillsborough."

"That is why there is no need for any police officer to face prosecution and certainly no need for me to resign."

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
