Once again Tory High Command make fundamental error of judgement. Whether anything was compromised by Fox inviting his friend into Westminster and to accompany him, it shows his arrogance that the rules don't apply to him.

As the plot thickens, I'm sure more discreditable things will be revealed about Fox. Typical Tories, back to their old routine of sleaze. If he's got the backing of Dave, then I'm pretty certain Fox's days are numbered; he may not even make Monday's Questions in the House.
And isn't it time we had a woman SoS for Defence? Theresa would look good in a flak jacket.

Now we know who the real Foxy Loxy is!

Flashman will be only to happy to throw Neo Con Fox under the bus?, the problems he`s caused him with leaks ie; defence spending, payback time me thinks, Flashman can get his "special advisor" Steve Hilton to put an arm around Fox`s shoulder then shove him into another room where a friendly bit of persuasion should ensure Fox`s demise!!, nevermind, Fox can get his mate to get him a job in the arms trade?, earn himself a few bob from selling death and misery to a few despots to whom he`s befriended!!!.

Paul Staines is a convicted drink-driver. He made the false allegation that there was a secret second server at No10 and has never retracted that.

A 'drink driving' offence is not exactly First Degree Murder.
A 2nd server? Is that anything to do with Google or Yahoo?

Dave C writes, 'I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories but it seems to me that someone who hates gays is at work yet again... First, we had David Laws outed and his subsequent resignation.'

Haven't you forgotten the little detail of the fiddled expenses? Playing the 'gay card' or any other card is always a slimey little thing to do.

Who is hunting Fox? Is it the people with whom the far more traditionally Tory David Cameron and William Hague have encircled him at the MoD? Apart from the Lib Dem Eurosceptic Nick Harvey, more than on record against Trident, I do not know about Peter Luff, but Gerald Howarth is late of the European Arab Bank, Andrew Robathan has been on his travels courtesy of CMEC (Nicholas Soames, Hugo Swire, Crispin Blunt, Alan Duncan, Commons receptions to celebrate Norouz, you get the idea), and Lord Astor is actually CMEC's Vice-Chairman. Or is it Luke Coffey, and thus indicative of the realist renaissance and resurgence within American intelligence? Both, one trusts.

Still, be in no doubt. Fox and his CIA SpAd have a much-trailed scheme to abolish all three Armed Forces in favour of something like the United States Marine Corps, except in no sense an elite force, as part of the single EU defence "capability" under overall American command. It should never be forgotten that an absolute ban on Germany's having an Air Force was written into the Treaty of Versailles. To be deprived of this right by one's vanquishers is one of the great historic indicators that defeat has tipped over into humiliation.

But back in the days when New Labour was led by Tony Blair and the other lot by Michael Howard, deeply disillusioned former Cabinet Ministers from both sides implored me not to write, even in jest, that our most unaccomplished 16-year-olds should be conscripted directly into the Israeli Defence Force, on the grounds that "if the wrong person reads that, then it will happen". They were not joking. (I was later informed that, entirely independently, something very near to that IDF scheme was seriously considered within the Blair inner circle. That was how far beyond satire things had moved in the last days of Tony Blair.) That, at least, will not happen under Liam Fox. Progress of a sort, perhaps. And it certainly will not happen under whoever is being lined up as his successor.

The whole idea was that NATO troops, and British military units in particular, should not be put into North Africa as a ground force. A Blitzkrieg coupled with Libyan anti-Gaddafi factions was expected to do the job. Yet the first casualty of this conflict is not as predicted by chortling Tories Tony Blair but Liam Fox, the Secretary for Defence
The grasp of recent history displayed by some Tories is also in some doubt. The Desert Fox was Field-Marshall Rommel. In fact, Monty led the Desert Rats. Friends of Liam have been busily pointing out this misconception.
Neither was this friend of Liam's acting as a body double let alone a human shield. This friend has the stature for such a role - but no, his function has yet to be ascertained.
And all this talk about Liam being a carpet-bagger is nothing but sheer rubbish.
The prognosis is not good but give the blither a chance.

Tally Ho

So exactly how does this non official, official aide earn his living? Is he Mr Fox's bit on the side....oh the Fox give him time to explain says David, and whilst your waiting turn in a few illegal immigrants ,,,really..... Well Mr Fox we normal Joe's get this warning ""You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."" , which indicates that the system thinks YOU DON'T need time to tell the TRUTH.
