Interesting article from the Guardian. Of course the paper is a supporter of the Conservative party!!!!!!!!!!!!. It was the Manchester Guardian and is just a tad left wing. I have dealt with our MP's in my official capacity and found them to be rather duplicitous in their behaviour. I also dealt with several Russians. This is at the time of the cold war and found them very polite ( yes I know, two faced comes to mind) and always did what they were to do ( They had a habit of breaking their boundaries. They were restricted as to where they could go) Never refused details when requested. I had to deal with this travesty of justice called diplomatic immunity and I am sorry to say the worst people that tried that one on were two very young Irish women.
Whereas the MP's of blue designation were as above, I stopped a person who had some suspicious material in his car and he refused to even speak to me. When threatened with being deprived of his liberty, I was abused etc. He was a Labour minister who didn't speak to lowly beings such as I.
I do however think it is pot calling kettle black with these MP's getting onto the gravy train. They are all as bad as one another whether blue red or shades between. Mr Corben was put back in his box by his own side for his comments about Conservatives and Russian money when the discussion was over the nerve gas incident. If the Russians want to spend their money here, why is that any worse than the Middle Eastern people doing so. If any one is responsible for money laundering, try the Banks for someone to blame. However I have to agree that it is unlikely Britain will do anything about who ever was responsible for this despicable act but then we come back to this 'B' diplomatic immunity.
