What Shall It Profit A Man?

So what if Liam Fox "did not profit personally"? That was never the point. The point was and is that those who "profited" mightily were the foreign powers directing Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Defence.

As it happens, one of those powers is a political position rejected at the ballot box the last time that Americans elected someone to run their foreign policy, and unlikely to make it onto the ballot paper next year, while the other has today been denounced by none other than Gilad Shalit.

But that, in itself, is not the point. The point is that foreign political factions, one of them in government in a foreign country (which, although again this does not really matter, is in no sense a British ally), have been controlling a British Cabinet Minister, the one in charge of our Armed Forces and the awarding of our defence contracts.

A mandarin who has worked closely with the Blairites as well as with the Cameroons and the Orange Book Lib Dems has dutifully whitewashed this biggest political scandal for centuries. Why?
