Phone hacking set to rumble-on & other matters off General Interest?

By tomtom

A great big fuss about nothing?

As the post-mortem into phone hacking drags on and on, about who knew what and when, it becomes more confusing by the minute. Though in recent days, it seems to have taken a turn, we’re now exploring things at the slapstick level of a country fair.

Apart from the staggering compensation settlements, it’s become akin to the level of an Aunt Sally Stall, as it descends into the realms of mud-slinging. Possibly it’s in anticipation that if enough of the brown stuff is chucked about, some of it is bound to stick. But to rake up pics of ‘Gid’ from the beginning of time, sucking up to a black beauty, who legal eagles now reckon has a story to tell, smacks of the ‘couldn’t make it up genre’. That’s desperation unhinged.

Another bone of contention is the completely despotic behaviour of this select committee. Half the time the MPs charged with the task have little idea what to ask and resort to nit-picking of the most obdurate kind. They appeared to be out of their depth, when quizzing ‘Rupe’; he had the measure of them before they opened their collective mouth, to fire off their inane questions.

A complete fog is descending over this entire imbroglio and even Red Ed has gone quiet, as he realised he was just making himself look even more foolish than we’d taken him for, after his glorious victory in the leadership poll. That was a debacle which seems to have legs, for it will run all the way to the next General Election.

What is really puzzling however is the how and why of the Unions bosses, in thinking it will reflect on the chances of re-electing a Labour Government.  They appear to have gone off their collective rocker, trying to make a fist out of strike action over pensions. The horse has bolted bros., and the stable door is firmly shut.
There can be no justifiable reason to try and bring the country to a standstill over this, especially when they have nothing to offer other than to retain the status quo. It’s clearly a no-brainer, something we can easily associate with the present cabal of left wing rabble-rousers.

After a decade of Labour profligacy the country is technically skint, a busted flush and that’s the top and bottom of it, till we dig ourselves out of this hole. This is the biggest and best one ever created by Labour and they are responsible for about half a dozen on them, since they first formed a government back in 1924. Will they ever learn? On the face of things highly unlikely, will the electorate ever learn? That’s highly unlikely too.

Watch this space, I’ll be back!

Tom.
