I'd 2nd Rico on that. An excellent post Durendal. There is still so much that we don't know, and lots I'm sure that we never will, so its good to see the arguments laid out so clearly and within the wider context. It would be hard to find such lateral thinking in our 'sound bite' 1 minute media.
It looks very much like the former health minister's (FHM's) political career has reached its final stages, a week can be a long time in politics and I'm sure there is still lots of water to flow under this particular bridge (give me the crown of cliche king please), but posts like this help to shine a light on some of the more mystyfying elements of this long drawn out affair - especially for somebody like me who has openly supported the FHM in the past but has found it increasingly more difficult to find the logic in his tactics of late.
This does not mean that I am smitten with the way the COM's and their dreaded comms unit have managed the whole affair. At times I have frankly found them to be little more then village idiots blinded by the headlights of negative publicity. But it seems to be becoming increasingly more difficult to find out which conspiracies actually hold water - but fair play to Rico for continuing to question and most importantly sticking to his principles and continuing to seek justice for those who have had their hopes, indeed lives, dashed in the past. If you can one make one stick Rico then you'll have done something nobody else has online.
