It will never reach the PM. At least not to the extent that it implicates him enough in any way to resign.

I don't think it has to get that serious, look at the reasons the two met officers gave for resigning, not because they have been charged or officially implicated, but because this was now a 'distraction' to their important job and position.

The position of PM is all about appearance to the public (nowadays) giving the impression of being in control and making the right decisions for the country. If it is shown now that his judgement can be under question, due to the fact he was warned on multiple occassions that Coulson was trouble and not to employ him, then that hurts his authority going forward.

This would then start the murmmerings within the party, he could lose support and be told that 'resigning would be the best thing for everyone.'

Not saying it will happen, but it's a possibility.

Just be worried when the head of the 1922 comittee comes out and says 'Cameron has our full support, we are behind him all the way' ... when a politician says that it's usually a sign they are gone in under 2 days :p

This was mentioned on the BBC quite a few hours ago. No payments were made. Still don't see the hype.

you really don't see the problem, it's not what he says in the article, it's what they don't say in the article;)
that and the conclusion they come to..

the earlier link is better though and in my view very damning

Yeah! Damn government continuing their plan to provide better services to NHS users rather than continuing to run it for the benefit of the staff rather than halting everything over a scandal that occurred during Labour's time in office and that Labour failed to investigate...

I'm 27, I was a child but there are two things I can remember towards the end.

Milk being removed from class in the morning.

Repeated protests and marches.

As a kid I presumed the two to be linked, just goes to show how not far off I was after all ;)

How in the blue hell, if you're 27, do you remember the removal of milk, given that the decision was taken when thatcher was education secretary in 1971?

The nursery milk scheme has been running constantly since 1940, it still runs today.

Sounds like you were just brainwashed at an early age...

I must have been. :eek:

I must have asked the question then as to why it didn't continue, because I can remember the reply. I think I was 5 or 6 mind you.
