You can throw your petty invective at me as much as you like. I care not.

However, this latest story in The Sunday Times appears to counter Jackonicko's claims that there is no case to be answered.

This allegation is particularly disturbing:

The High Court referred to claims by two Whitehall officials whose description to The Sunday Times of the nature of the Saudi threat formed the basis of the judicial review.

“****** went into Number 10 and said, ‘Get it stopped’ . . . If they didn’t stop it, the Typhoon [fighter] contract was going to be stopped and intelligence and diplomatic relations would be pulled,” the newspaper reported.
THAT, if true, is what I call harassment.
