In the La-La Land occupied by the EuroNabobery and other assorted EuroLuvvies and those with a serious dose of the EuroPox, lives a particularly ludicrous oaf called Emperor Barroso. At the risk of causing this blog to be placed on an EU Blacklist, I shall go further. As well as being an oaf, he is also a fantasist with a deep streak of imperial arrogance. He may also be quite barking mad. Great to be able to see press conferences on television and form a view of the people making the statements and answering the questions. Early comments on the press conferences about baby P at Haringey, and Christopher Galley, Damian Green's informant. One was impressive, the other certainly not ... As the world has unravelled lately a profound depression of the soul has set in, making it impossible at times to articulate the fear that all the hard work of the years 1979 to 1990 was on the point of being pissed down the drain by this truly awful government. But, imperfect though Cameron & Osborne may be, perhaps we have turned a corner. With the widespread publication on the Web of Gordon Brown revelling in his use of leaks back in the 1980s the tiny possibility of a conviction for any offence - let alone one carrying a theoretical life sentence - of anyone in the Green affair has metamorphosed into the absolute certainty that any reckless attempt at prosecution now will be met with derision and contempt. Britain was never a democracy even before the EU, but that doesn't make MPs worthless. Here's a selection of reports and opinion from the web - if you read one link, make itTrevor Kavanagh, who puts the police action in a wider context, as did the Financial Times last week.Monday, 1 December 2008
