The Broken Government

I have written before on this blog about the campaign to have the results of past formal inquiries (starting with the one held into the loss of the trawler Gaul) into several maritime casualties reviewed. These inquiries resulted in miscarriages of justice, which were the handiwork of the past labour government. I was assured that the Conservative administration would sort these things out. Well, that has certainly not been the case. Camerons government shows no appetite in upholding the law. Rioters on the streets of London are fair game, Establishment figures are, however, a completely different matter especially when their crimes lead to the powerful Mr Blair. Having been persecuted by officialdom for blowing the whistle about the FV Gaul farce, we have taken the government to court. We hope that the information which we will bring to light will do some good in restoring justice in this case as well as in others. But its not easy. Mr Cameron, so willing before the 2010 election to attack Labour and be indignant about what we exposed, has now been mollified. Recently his government has even started to put pressure on us so as to make us abandon the court case, which harms the prime ministers current interests. Mr Cameron, unfortunately, is in no position to address the wrongdoing committed by Labour he has the phone-hacking saga to worry about right now. Yes, it is as squalid as that. But what is most shocking is that all this is going on with the acquiescence of the highest levels in the British Establishment. There is, at the moment, no public authority one can trust. We cannot, therefore, blame the rioters for the damage they did to our society. Society is not really broken the government and our ruling class are. Update: Amazingly, within minutes of publishing the above post the possibility of a splendid job, in a splendid location, with a large company with links to the British government, was dangled in front of me.
