One - the guys and gals on this thread should know.
Two - Bliar is not the head of state, Her Majesty is. He has a department, with a budget, and is accountable like the rest of us who work for HM. He should not be screwing the system for the benefit of his brood in a manner that would get anyone in uniform in trouble.
