Tucked away on many news items is the fact that Scotland Yard detectives have finally finished their investigation in to the “cash for honours” case and passed their findings onto the CPS for a decision as to whether any charges will be made. With 136 people interviewed, 216 pages of reports alone, 6300 documents and some very high profile arrests, I think it’s clear to say that the police must feel they have a case. But will this be enough?
Put it this way, if Blair was to form his own law firm it would be called;
“Blair, Straw, Darling, Falconer, Hutton, Hoon, McCartney, Goldsmith and Browne Partnership”
With at least 9 members having a lawyer/legal background and with several being called to the bar (that’s a legal term, not a summons to buy a round of drinks), there is a danger that the “old boys network” may have a bearing on any outcome. (I should also qualify this statement by briefly mentioning the PM’s “first lady’s” background. We all know about the goings on at Matrix, so perhaps the “old girls network” will come into play as well!). Far be it for Rise Like Lions to cast any aspersions, but I would suspect a lot of favours are being called in at CPS headquarters. Unlike many people’s pension funds, Blair and Partnership will be hoping that their contacts pay dividends!
Let’s just hope that like Assistant Commissioner John Yates, the Scotland Yard detective who has headed the inquiry, the CPS heads stick to their convictions, literally!
