She went on to say...

I´m sorry to say (from my holiday late night bar
)that she went onto say absolutely nothing that she has not said in letters to many other people who have written to her. Before I went on holiday she sent EXACTLY the same letter to me too. Completely crap. Sorry, I´ve had many drinks, but to borrow the words of a fellow contributor here: "Makes my blood boil"
Shriti has to be spelt so carefully, especially given how I feel catching up on so much content here after days away and seeing the *****e coming from our Government on the issue. Absolutely unacceptable, this total disregard for the law so far is shocking. I can only hope that they are reading the intelligent debate taking place here and elsewhere (I hope they are skipping over some of the less intelligent debate - no offence intended - I know that we garner support by using different methods, but some of the tack has been less than high level in the last 5 days or so!)

Its getting more and more obvious to me with every new revelation the government are desperately trying to white wash this criminal shambles, presumably to protect someone senior in Labour, or a big donor, or some government department from deep embarrassment. The bit I can't work out is why the opposition parties aren't ripping them to shreds over this. Don Foster in particular has been very quiet lately.
July will be a very interesting month I'm sure.

Yes, I agree Pete. What the heck is happening? Don Foster was apparently pro our position - what has changed that?
