Does that mean we can expect another witch hunting related whine-fest from Trevor Kavanagh?

And 'Just One More Advance Gove'?

I think David Cameron riding Rebekah Brooks would be more interesting.

The pictures of Cameron, the horse and Brooks are very funny.

I think there must be something in the water supply in Chipping Norton because all the local residents seem to have problems remembering things.

This particular horse doesn't look quite dead to me. Far from it.

Stablegate latest. According to the Telegraph, Cameron has been forced to apologise for "allowing a "confusing picture" to emerge over recent days about his direct connection with the animal."

Remix. He's a liar. He's been rumbled.

The "personal responsibility" crowd are always the victim of strange passive forces, aren't they? Like Liam Fox was. Those lines between personal and ministerial blurring all around him.

They never bloody learn, do they?

Quote:

A Cabinet minister has won a gagging order to hush up 'private information' concerning her teenage son.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman was granted the High Court injunction banning publication of a story about 17-year-old Jonny, a promising rugby player.
The nature of the story cannot be disclosed, but Mr Justice Lindblom said it contained 'sensitive personal information' regarding which the boy was entitled to privacy.

Quote:

In this case, there is no suggestion that privately educated Jonny, who has represented England at under-16s rugby, has done anything illegal.

What possible justification is there for smearing private information about the entirely legal activities of a 17 year old all over the effing Star just because his mother is a politician?

Somehow, I just knew that Spelman's son would be called "Jonny".

She's ex-comprehensive school, as it happens.

From Leveson today:

Quote:

Stephenson says in his written statement that the chair of the MPA, Kit Malthouse, told him in 2011 that the Met "should not be devoting this level of resources" to Operation Weeting.

Malthouse said Operation Weeting was largely driven by "level of hysteria" in politics and media.

No doubt we can expect the Standard to go after this.
