Guidogate: Call Me Ishmael, or Thar She Blows!

Guido is obsessed with Yates of the Yard's clumsy efforts to find a smoking gun. He is willing Yates to make his case. He claims he has his smoking gun with the marvellous graphic below. But what Yates (and Fawkes) seems to have got is a nasty bully idea that "it's the girl that will break".

Lord Puttnam's comments today were very interesting. He knows a thing or two about epic narratives playing out. Basically he seemed to say that the Police are getting nowhere, they're pulling on the oars, but the tide is turning, they're frustrated, all at sea, and they're trying a last throw of their clumsy harpoon to intimidate what they hope is a key and a weak witness.

Naturally Guido's Friends in Blue pick on the girl as their ticket to the truth. But perhaps the truth is that this is just a Great White Whale obsession of the SNP, Guido and Yates of the Yard. As Puttnam said they have picked the wrong route here. And Vince Cable has observed accurately I think that all the parties are involved in these things one way or another. Sack the peerages and keep the donations. Or keep the peerages and sack the donations. First sounds the right way. Sack both is good too.

Turner will surely see her pursuers exhausted and drowning in despair.
