Serious fraud probe dropped


What a surprise the government and the Serious Fraud Office have dropped the corruption probe into BAE's dealings with the Saudis

The only surprising thing was that they were probing it in the first place. And to claim they are dictching the probe on grounds of 'national security' is a laugh.

It just goes to show that where cash is concerned principles go out the window. Another issue of course is all the fuss about muslim women and the veil, the government seems to be happy to jump on the hysterical bandwagon over that, complete with one of their MPs (Jack Straw) demanding muslim women strip before he will see them in his office - and yet they are quite happy to take the money and run when it comes to dealing with a vile Islamo-fascist regime, that happens to have a lot of oil money.

The excellent Chicken Yoghurt looks into the issue in more depth here, and raises some other points
