The Fraudsters ...

... will they get away with it?

Yes, because the DPP, Keir Starmer, will claim that a fair trial would be impossible given the publicity the expenses fraudsters have already been subject to.

Off you trot, little piggies.

Logic

It's no secret that logic is not often a strong feature of the 'political mind' (if that phrase is not intrinsically self-contradictory). Take this from Dave, on the Marr show:

"I don’t want an ‘in or out’ referendum because I don’t think ‘out’ is in Britain’s interests."

What Cameron is saying here is that democracy is only of interest to him because he must rely on it to get elected. He is saying that the people are likely, when given the chance, of using their votes to achieve an undesirable end.

But, if Cameron believes that the people will choose unwisely in a ballot, then he must, by that logic, refuse to accept the result of the General Election if it gives the Conservatives a majority. Because, then, a Conservative Government would not be 'in Britain's interests'.

You can't have it both ways, Dave. Either the people's choice is to be respected, or it isn't.

The Rewards of Treachery

Catherine Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland
EU's High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

As Leader of the House of Lords, she was responsible for steering the Lisbon Treaty through Britain's upper house. - Wikipedia.

Jumbo in the Zimmer

The 'procedure' for choosing the EU President is rapidly turning into a dog's dinner. Quel surprise, mes amis und freunden. What's that? Twenty-seven countries, all with different agendas, all with different amounts of influence, all with heavy axes to grind (some of them centuries old) cannot come to an agreement?

Good job, then, isn't it, that the Bilderberg Group has given them a little nudge. Surely, there will be apparent negotiation, argument, deals, promise of deals, frustration, and lots of sage head-nodding and stern head-shaking at the nosh-up this evening but, in the end, the job will go to Van Rompuy. (Sorry, Tone, the UK is just too much of an embarrassment to the EU - the same goes for Banana Boy. Iraq, employment legislation opt-outs, spurning the Euro; these are the chickens coming home to roost.)

What, of course, has not yet been revealed is what the new President will do - yes, he will do what he is told, of course. We just don't know exactly what that is going to be.

The Lisbon Treaty was just a 'Tidying-up Exercise'

Rumpelstiltskin.

Legendary for his ability to spin straw into gold.

Our straw ==> spin, spin, spin ==> Bilderberg group's gold.
