Yet again, he manages to get away with it using the same old tactics... Used by others before him by the way...
- War in Irak : Part of the "Global War on Terror"
- Stopping the SFO inquiry: Part of the (sorry...) VITAL part of the "Global War on Terror"
- Probably the "cash for honours" is another secret trick to win the war on terror, but we don't know yet..
Yes, everybody else (US, France, etc...) does bribery to sell arms around the world. However they are much better skilled at it than the Brits: When there is some noise about it, they just shut up, let the storm fade away and by the time the inquiry is complete, the deal is done and the dealers are long gone enjoying their bribes in some Caribbean islands...
Amateurs come up with excuses like:
- "Our relationship with Saudi Arabia is vitally important for our country in terms of counter-terrorism, in terms of the broader Middle East, in terms of helping in respect of Israel and Palestine. That strategic interest comes first."
- "It was claimed scrapping the contract for 72 Typhoon fighters would threaten 50,000 jobs" 50,000???? c'mooon...
- or the already mentioned "global war"...
At least now, the British government will have to drop its patronising "we-are-the-only-law-abiders-in-this-world-of-crooks" stance...They've become like the rest...
