Hang on a minute
Nobody charged in the ‘cash for peerages’ debacle. Characters unstained. Trebles all round. Apparently.
So, if there’s no problem with the system of political party funding as it stands – if nobody did anything wrong – why is Gordon Brown pressing on with reform?
If it ain’t (apparently) broke, why fix it?
(An aside: Lord Puttnam on Channel 4 News this evening said Ruth Turner had been the victim of ‘Stasi’-esque tactics. A prize for anyone who can point out an instance of Puttnam defending anyone else from the depredations of the state in such a fashion. Bonus points if the victim was a brown or Muslim nobody as opposed to a fragrant confidante of the former Prime Minister.)
