Is This Cameron's Watergate?


Just over 18 months ago one of the papers in the News International group, The Sun was leading with the story regarding the then Prime Minster Gordon Brown concerning his dreadful and disrespectful act of getting the name of solider Jamie Janes killed in action in Afghanistan wrong when writing to the soldiers Mother. This was compounded with Mr Brown’s failure to bow at the cenotaph during the Rembrance Sunday wreath laying ceremony. All eyes were on poor old Mr Brown and the long knifes were out!
David Cameron sat quietly while poor old Brown was figurately battered to death, not once did he question the torrent of media abuse directed at Brown by his ‘friends’, after all he had a lot to win by staying silent.
I suppose that the only other area we have seen such a concerted attack on a public figure is usually against a beleaguered England Football manger following a string of poor results and an early exit from the competition!
But here we have the mighty Rupert Murdock News International Empire and the Chipping Norton set deciding who make there chum David Cameron the next Prime Minster. Their job was made easier with the MPs expanse scandal, yes a few Tories were caught out with moot cleaning and duck islands. But as it was on Labours watch people were more than ever ready for change.
The effects of Tony Blair and his Iraq war, the global financial crisis and expenses scandal made it totally acceptable to target Gordon Brown even more, he was in effect a dead man walking, but just to be sure he was killed off at the general election, the full force of the Tory supporting Murdock empire was arranged against Gordon Brown and the tired New Labour.

But who would have guessed that as we watched the dead returning through Wotton Basset that the Murdock press would be hacking into the dead service personnel’s relatives’ phones looking for material for new headlines.

David Cameron’s close association with these people brings into question his ability to be a Member of Parliament never mind the post of Prime Minster; and will he call off Christmas with Rebecca Brooks this year or perhaps take her a food parcel in her new HMP guesthouse?

As for Vince Cable, Nick Clegg and the rest of the Liberal Democrats members of this government, do they really know who they are sleeping with and what they will catch in time for the next general election? This will compound there problems as apart from betrayal on tuition fees for the so called good of the country, everyone will question their honesty and moral judgment.

9th November 2009 Sun leading with Remembrance Gaffe and the error prone letter Mrs Jacqui Janes received about the loss of her son Jamie killed in  Afghanistan .
The Sun says ‘Bloody Shameful’
I just wonder if the Telegraph will turn its attention onto the Lib Dem MPs rather like they did with Vince Cable, in an attempt to divert attention away from the embattled Cameron. As this newspaper group has a lot to make up as the News International almost wore out the path to Number 10 with there frequency!
