Tories "Deeply Worried"



Tory conspiracy theorists are really having trouble this evening with this unprecedented week of bad news/good news. They say they are deeply worried. Because of stuff people have written in The Mail on Sunday and the tabloid Times no less.

Danny Finkelstein's Times blog is quoted at the home of the Acting Tory Pulpit-Master-in-Chief* thus:

"The rule of law having been dismissed, and the public interest having been equated with the Government's interests (for which Blair takes "full responsibility"), the Attorney General can now step in to halt the cash for honours enquiry. Not in the public interest, you see. While we're at it, why not arrest DC Yates for conduct prejudicial to national security?"

Must say it seems to me that there is no equivalence between the two cases, that Blair and Levy may be able to walk away from that - albeit in separate directions - without having to throw the laws out of their prams, and that Tory commentators have now taken a leaf out of Lord Fayed's book of gaga.

* Lord Fawkes has gone more than 48 hours without a single scratch on his blog, so Lord Dale is in the Chair. Both have been recently ennobled for lining the new party "Google's" pockets. But it looks as if the tea total Dale survived the xmas drinks and "tit-bits" sic better than his more incendiary accomplice.
