Fix?

My erstwhile colleague, Dr Nile Gardiner, has done sterling work about the fact that Prince Harry must have lied on his United States visa application, as may now be coming to the right attention, but the question was first raised here. That was in January 2023, when I wrote:

Will Prince Harry be arrested for his Class A drug offences should he ever return to these shores? Has his United States visa been revoked? And when he was so out of it that he thought that he was having conversations with a pedal bin, then he was surrounded by some of the most carefully vetted Police Officers in the world.

They often are. Last May, Michael Gove was described in edited Fleet Street copy as having been on “a cocaine binge”. He and Boris Johnson, who is no longer an American citizen, have lied on their United States visa applications, as has Harry. They are not the only ones, although presumably no one will bother in future. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng was obviously off his face at the funeral of the late Queen. The Truss Government was so awash with cocaine that it scandalised the servants.

I can wait. After all, as Harriet Harman intervenes in the cause of assisted suicide, remember that I have been pushing the story of Harman and the Paedophile Information Exchange longer than anyone else who was still alive. Everyone knows it. Everyone who was anyone has always known it. But no one cares. They might if she were a Conservative, although they might not. They certainly would if she were part of what was briefly the Corbyn Coalition. But as it is, they just don’t. The rules are different.

The first reference to Harman and PIE on here was on 31 October 2006, and since then there have been scores, possibly hundreds. I have also posted it in numerous other corners of the Internet. This blog started in April 2006, and by then I had already been working on that story for 10 or more years. Harman’s PIEmate, Patricia Hewitt, took over Greville Janner’s seat. Then she passed it on to Liz Kendall, so it is obviously a right-wing Labour fiefdom.

Britain is internationally known for the prevalence of kiddy-fiddling, but even within that, the right-wing Labour machine is something else. Having inherited his father’s seat, a man whose proclivities were common knowledge for 70 years handed it on to a PIE lady, who served in Tony Blair’s Cabinet before handing it on to the most overtly right-wing candidate for the Labour Leadership since 1994. Kendall’s support for assisted suicide, though sincere in its desire to reduce spending on sickness and disability benefits by having the State kill off the sick and disabled, is also a useful positioning of herself as an alternative to the hitherto undisputed crown prince, Wes Streeting.

Since there will presumably be no peerage, the departure of Justin Welby from the House of Lords has docked a vote from the opposition to assisted suicide. Life peerages may now be resigned, and to even the score, George Carey should resign his, both in view of his role in the Peter Ball scandal, and because Keith Makin found it improbable that Carey had been, as he claimed, unaware of the activities of John Smyth.

Such stretching of credulity is characteristic of the lobby in support of this measure. 30 years after the BBC cancelled That’s Life! because no one was watching it anymore, Esther Rantzen seems to have become part of the Constitution. But she was in her pomp when child abuse in the Corporation was at it is worst. Jim’ll Fix It started two years after That’s Life, and 19 years later, the final editions of each were broadcast only five weeks apart. Together, they defined an era. Think on.
