Ministry for Madness
Half Bakered
A standard Parliamentary measure of how bad a oral questions session is going to be is made via the calculation as to whether you're on before or after Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker, so it's hardly surprising that his recent Bernstein and Woodward stylings have been met with a derisive "meh."
Norm's new book, The Strange Death of David Kelly (a bargain £9.99 on Amazon) claims to have uncovered da TROOF as to what really happened (clue: it wasn't suicide). It involves skulduggery at the highest levels, South African posions, hired assassins, and the resounding silence of the British establishment who was aware that moider had been commited but - for their own evil, sinister reasons - wanted to keep it quiet. Oh and wasn't it awwwfully convenient for that nasty Tony Blair and evil Alistair Campbell. Eh? Eh?
Riiiight.
The extent of the evidence appears to be:
- a bloke in the pub who claimed to be a former spy told another bloke who told Baker that it was definitely murder most foul;
- two volunteers on the search for Dr Kelly's body met with some tourists in a boat. "Who they were, and what they were doing on the river at that time of the morning, has never been established. They could, of course, have been holidaymakers. But was the truth more sinister?"
Oh, most definitely - somebody page Mulder and Scully!
