Sir Stuart Bell, member of the Speaker's Commons Estimates Committee as well as being the parliamentary spokesman for all matters relating to the Church of England, is out trying to hunt down the mole who is allegedly selling details of the receipts of MPs' expenses for up to £300,000. Sir Suart is now the head mole-catcher. He's temporarily leaving the church mice alone!Sir Stuart tells us, "All the receipts of 650-odd MPs, redacted and un-redacted, are for sale at a price of £300,000, so I am told. The price is going up because of the interest in the subject. We have a pretty good idea of not the person, but the source, and that is a subject of a House of Commons investigation. It may be a theft, but we will get to the bottom of it. In the public interest, by the way."
Public interest? Surely he's had 12 years to sort this out. Tony Blair sounded like a charismatic preacher in a brand new glass-windowed temple when he denounced sleaze and all is menaces in 1997. The truth is Sir Stuart is wasting his time going after moles. These creatures are notoriously short-sighted and couldn't tell a porno film from computer disk. No, he needs to be going after a totally different animal. A RAT!!!!
It's the rats in this sinking ship that are running around grabbing at any free lunch or free movie or free house that's going. A rat catcher is needed desperately. Especially one that can bait and trap in seconds. The sooner this government is put out of its miserable existence the better it will be for all of us.
