Across the pond

By asking ministers to demonstrate their loyalty.

Not directly. Only one minister stood out, and resigned yesterday, Jane Kennedy. But even she told the media that she had not been ‘directly’ asked by Brown for an oath of loyalty.

She told the media that she was resigning on a matter of conscience. But her resignation got scant media coverage.  What she got can be summed up in one sentence.

Doesn’t she not know that politics is a a dirty game governed by Machevelli, not Jesus Christ?
