UNBELIEVABLY FOR THE BRITISH PRESS the long knives are not really out for loveable, cuddly Dr Liam Fox, our good Defence Secretary who has, we now know, been dashing about the world doing business in our interests always in the company of his “best friend” Adam Werrity, paid for by the British taxpayer. The fact that happily married Fox has taken his best friend with him on 80 trips abroad on official United Kingdom government business over the last couple of years, when Werrity has nothing to do with politics, does not even seem to warrant innuendo.
NOT ONE NEWSPAPER OR COMMENTATOR, other than the brash, outspoken Jeff Randall, who stated yesterday on Sky News, “I don’t spend that much time with my wife, and I am happily married”, seems to want to come to the conclusions that are obvious, and which are (as no one else will print them): Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox is cheating the UK public out of money; Dr Liam Fox is unfairly giving an advantage to a friend (if Werrity actually has a vested interest in following the defence secretary about the world buying and selling arms to third world countries); and Dr Liam Fox’s wife needs to get a grip on her husband, as “my best friend” is a primary school expression.
WHEN FOX STOOD UP AND STATED IN PARLIAMENT that he goes abroad and “naturally” takes his “best friend” with him, but he won’t be doing it in the future, no one screamed at him to resign. What, I wonder, is going on?
I COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT Dr Fox, who is obviously about to go down the toilet politically and probably domestically, but I am intrigued as to why neither our press, always keen to sniff out a scandal, nor our opposition politicians, have delivered the goods on the doctor.
