There are just too many "senior" figures who have a vested interest in claiming that Hutton did everything right, when plainly he did not. And the media worthies are supine in the face of the protracted cover-up. I think it's time for Norman Baker to say something in the House, and try to persuade at least one journalist to get interested enough to investigate properly. The trouble is, they've all had eight years already, and they've all largely done sweet FA.Geoaunneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096877583518743831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-35199444703057380562011-06-11T12:42:33.729+01:002011-06-11T12:42:33.729+01:00Geoaunnes,

To do so would, in my view, lead inevitably to his resignation given the absolutist way he put forward his statement.Andrew Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829322263100808179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-15659950011152279622011-06-11T12:25:52.090+01:002011-06-11T12:25:52.090+01:00Andrew,
Grieve's demeanour at the dispatch box...Andrew,<br />Grieve's demeanour at the dispatch box does not give me the impression he is the kind of man who would admit to error. He was far too smug, and in any event, given the shoddy manner in which he has investigated Hutton, or at best caused it to be investigated, it is plain that he was not interested in the truth. It seems inconceivable that he would now come forward to admit the numerous errors contained in his speech and the written answers to the MemorialGeoaunneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096877583518743831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-62815553205615347712011-06-11T11:04:53.816+01:002011-06-11T11:04:53.816+01:00Geoaunnes,

Dr Kelly's death ...Plainly it was a stitch-up. Dr Kelly's death had to be covered up, and the only way was suicide. Nothing that contradicted that could be admitted before Hutton. Given that the powers that be decided on a slit wrist, there was no way they were going to allow anyone to tell the truth about the weakness in his right elbow. Mai Pederson gave details of Dr Kelly's difficulty in cutting steak nearly three years ago. She would have had little reason to lie, and now we know she was telling the truth. How long will it take Grieve to catch up?Geoaunneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096877583518743831noreply@blogger.com
