Comments Off on Berlusconi vs the press

Holding back the truth of what happened at Stockwell on 21st July? Fine – could impede investigations. Restricting the Independent Police Complaints Commission in their enquiries? Not fine – even if they weren’t, could give the impression that the Met … Continue reading

I’m very tempted to offer a bounty on Charles Clarke. If that big-eared, bestubbled waste of oxygen doesn’t keel over and die soon, his fatuous, hypocritical bile is going to give me a hernia. It’s him or me, and I’m … Continue reading
