Guardian: Reports that the UK Cabinet Secretary has found that former Defence Secretary Liam Fox broke the UK Ministerial Code of conduct due to his friendship with Adam Werritty. Folks the UK Civil Service are loving this, in future a Secretary of State or junior Minister wont have a friend around for tea without having to have civil servant present to take notes, this will place politicians more in the hands of their civil servants, thus we will see politicians hire more special advisors, it’s a vicious development folks, when your in opposition and don’t have the money or civil service support you have to make contacts in your field, if your in the Shadow Cabinet it’s a given, if your in opposition for over decade it is going to be hard to separate that when you come in to Government. In many respects one is surprised this has not happened before now, this is a major win for the civil service folks, politicians are going to be more house trained than before, and that does not serve the nation folks.
