Some are more equal than others.

Earlier this week, Conservative MP, Owen Patterson, was found guilty by the Common's Standards Watchdog and suspended from the House for 30 days due to paid consultancy. He was convicted due to the e mails released where it was shown he earned three times is MP's salary using his political access to further interests of his paymasters.

An open and shut case,

But, the Conservative Party didn't like it, came up with all sorts of excuses as to why it should be overturned, and in the end, today, voted to end the current oversight process and committee and replace it, thus allowing Patterson to come unsuspended.

It stinks.

Let's call it for what it is; corruption.

This afternoon the motion was passed by 17 votes. The lessons of the "cash for questions" sleaze in the 90s were undone in a two hour debate and vote.

I pondered a few times, what was the point of Brexit, and it seems it was power.

The first rule of power is to get more power.

The second is to decide what to do with it.

Rule without consequence, having removed or limited Judicial Review, Legal Aid, Freedom of Information, appoint friends to run the BBC. And so on, there can be no critism, there must be unfettered power.

Johnson might not be a dictator, but who follows might be.

These are dark days, the Government just voted to remove a rule they didn't like, while they impose more restriction on us, the small people.
