What's In A Name?

The persecution of Baroness Uddin may have come to an end, but the dear old Met has another prey in its sights.

David Cameron, with his dodgy mortgage? George Osborne, with his dodgy repairs?

No, a Eurosceptical and anti-war Campaign Group member, retiring anyway and already severely punished by the House, who goes by the name, face and accent of Harry Cohen.

Couldn't have changed his face, I suppose. But clearly should have changed his accent. And clearly should have changed his name. Cohen? Imagine for what the boys in blue might have mistaken Osborne if he had still been called Gideon...

  1. First Lord Levy but no Tory peerage salesman and now Harry Cohen but no Tory MP. Not only spitefully partisan but viciously, professionally antisemitic.

  2. Yes, if they proceed with the Cohen prosecution then the pattern will be unmistakable. The partisan dimension already is and always has been.

    I mean, I am critical as anyone of "Labour Friends of Israel" and its organised crime of selling seats in our very legislature. But they were, and are, hardly the only culprits.

    John Yates was denied Levy's scalp. Will he now claim Cohen's instead?

  3. God, I wish you were still on our side. When the realignment comes you and I will be in the same party again, but you will be far more important in it and to it.
