So - where to from here?

So Conway is going, the Police will be talking to him and the conservatives are hoping that this will 'draw a line' under the affair.

Well I'm sure they do...

However, we should all remain concious of the 'cover-ups' which our elected representatives have already tried on. Not just in this case, but also by Jack Straw previously, not wanting to 'embarrass' his Parliamentary colleagues (see previous blog) ...

Let's not be satisfied with anything less than full disclosure by all MP's. Not just at this point in time as a 'one-off', but everything, fully on the record, and permanently available from here on in.

I understand that this is already the case in the Welsh Assembly and yet, once again, in this pathetically small 'United Kingdom', we manage to pull 'different strokes' for 'different folks'.

You would think it would be easy in a land this size, yet this is yet another 'post-code lottery' for us to come to terms with. It apparently not only governs how we get treated when we are ill, or how well our under-graduates' are supported whilst studying, but it also now appears to determine how safe our taxes are from potential fraud from those that we elect.
