What a crock!

This is a case of the criminals policing the criminals and it is disgusting.

The government belongs to the people - if we want a public inquiry into government actions then there should be a public inquiry.

The lame and only excuse given for a private inquiry is so that witnesses can be candid.

Well I am sorry but that does not wash. These witnesses should be presented publicly and questioned publicly. The correct questions should be ascertained and asked by those best suited to the job of asking them. Should the questions be thorough and well-researched then the witness should provide the required response regardless of whether it is in publice or not.

These animals should be rounded up quickly while we still have the laws in place to act accordingly...

I wonder if there is any truth in the rumour that Gordon Brown has put in an order with his local hardware store for 2,000 gallons of whitewash?!

Sounds like it to me!

I don't think there is enough whitewash for this inquiry - mind you one year should enable the usual suppliers to drum some up I guess - as well avoid a public backlash before the elections!
