If a certain Northern ex MP was dead, he would by now have been convicted in the Court of Public Opinion (media) as Guilty and his successor would be rushing out a book revealing the most appalling crimes and making a fortune (and high profile) from the profits.

If our Government leaders had any brains they would be very nervous about popping up on TV shows (especially with consorts); so many old rumours might get provoked to be revived, as Fleet Street hopes.

After all, the most important thing is a great story (whether true or false doesn't matter).

bizarre but it's an extremely dangerous time to be famous or to court publicity.

I keep think Britain's legal system is busted beyond repair.

No matter how many outrages are uncovered..the latest being corrupted forensic labs..they just dig in their heels and allow the cops to get on with it.
