Hoon

listened to Geoff Hoon on Radio 4 this evening. There was a perfectly proper inquiry by the police into leaks from the Home Office. Confidence, integrity of government, vital trust between civil servants and ministers, civil servants sign up to Official Secrets Act, yeah like they could work without signing it.

By questioning this we are impugning the integrity of the independent police. Hoon is just so wrong, this is the man who has made his career from taking this country into Iraq. I believe he was Defence Minister when we attacked a sovereign state.

If there is a leak from a ministry, damaging to the national security then it must be investigated, yeah but who decides the national security. This is so undemocratic, an MP must be free. The police are operationally independent, strong support for those who are to protect us. The timing of all this is a disgrace. However, we must not disturb Gordon because he is probably too busy watching some TV programme and getting ready to write a letter to the contestants congratulating them on their achievements.

Aaghhh, I continue to both very sad and angry.
