Leveson Tells CMD to Poke It over Hunt
Leveson: Jeremy Hunt's BSkyB behaviour is not my problem | Media | The Guardian (c) Y Grauniad
Seems as if Mr Justice Leveson is not content to do CMD's dirty work for him over Hunt's alleged collusion with Murdoch over BSB. Hunt will now have to face the Parliamentary watchdogs to see if he's broken the Ministerial Code.
Never has the portmanteau "omnishambles" seemed more apt.Guinness. It's the first food group.

Often worry if His Justice is in danger of DVT, sitting there day after day.

"As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. At the back of one of the houses a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. I had time to see everything about her - her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye."

I didn't know there even was a parliamentary watch dog to police QPM. Every government has run the Nixon defence in the past - "this is a document of the executive, it is not open to the legislature or judiciary to enforce it".

Well, we all live and learn. From the article: Originally Posted by Pyianno

Exactly - an adviser. Originally Posted by Mr_Fingerz
