Absolutely not, the rot in the government goes far beyond the Hutton
report and that is much more important

Very true...

What rot Maxie? care to point some out, if you can. You are making things
up again.

LOL!

Allow me....

I think this is what they call a "target rich environment"

For starters try this:-

http://www.labour-watch.com/sleaze.htm

I think a bit of the intro sums it up quite well:-

"In the old days sleaze was about politicians succumbing to the material
temptations placed before them, such as expense accounts and foreign
travel, or it involved the personal sexual morality or marital fidelity
of politicians. There was little or no direct impact on the general
public, but the press and opposition politicians worked themselves into
a frenzy about it.

New Labour's New Sleaze works the other way round. It is all about the
perversion of democratic government; matters of great importance to the
public being cooked up behind closed doors, justified by massaged
figures, semi-leaked documents and news management."
