Love how it's somehow the Tories' fault
If thats the message you took from what I said, then you are a fool and part of the problem.
Its not because they are Tories. It's because they are selective in when they take action. They only do so when it benefits them politically not because its the right thing to do.
By the same token, there were clearly Labour people who turned blind eyes to what they knew about O'Mara because of the political prize. Not because they were trying to further a progressive agenda.
The point is that politics in this country is about the wrong things. What drives and motives people is fucking screwed. Tribal loyalty comes before doing the right thing. It undermines the principle and allows the problem to fester but it gives support to the culture they dislike when it suits people.
It is to all intents what we define as corruption. Moral corruption. From people lacking in moral fibre.
I've been saying it for months. Years even.
Unfortunately this leaves us dangerously open to exploitation. America's fate will be ours. The same thing is happening there and the events of the past few weeks there, are a dystopian nightmare of a scale for can envisage and realise is headed here unless these same politicians of all sides suddenly find that spine.
Its desperately depressing. But hey lets let it happen by shouting about party lines rather than focusing on the bigger picture.
