“WICKED AND EVIL” POLITICAL PARTIES

Without wishing to express support for any political party, the Witch of Worcester was surprised to hear Lib-Dem Sir Malcolm Bruce describe UKIP as a “wicked and evil” one on BBC Radio 4’s “Any Questions” on Friday http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04pcd5f Before using such intemperate language, Sir Malcolm – sounding like a spokesman for the Scottish Kirk in John Buchan’s historical novel “Witch Wood” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_Wood – might have recalled that his onetime esteemed colleague the former Lib-Dem MP Sir Cyril Smith is reputed to have sexually abused numerous children from orphanages in Manchester between 1960 and 1987: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/15/twenty-people-police-abused-cyril-smith Politics and politicians certainly have a dark side, but the one thing that can be said about UKIP is theirs seems rather more visible than those of other parties.

Meanwhile, disgraced ex-Labour MP, and onetime Europe Minister, Denis MacShane wrote a letter in The Guardian on Friday to fellow former guest of Her Majesty’s Prison system ex-Conservative spin doctor Andy Coulson – http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/nov/21/andy-coulson-prison-others-guilty-policy The letter concludes: “….now I wouldn’t have missed Belmarsh for anything in the world. I learned loads, not least about myself. Good luck and show ’em the stuff British hacks are made of.”
