IT APPEARS THAT SOME explanatory notes are needed in relation to my last piece. Apparently not everyone is up to speed with this “breaking news” story, and there are those who are not quite clear on why the fact that a gentleman Prime Minister such as David Cameron admits to riding a horse and all of a sudden we are in a “horsegate” situation, as it were.
THE TRUTH IS THAT in the United Kingdom it is not considered correct to give money to the police in return for favours, although in most of Europe this is common practice. So the fact that the prime minister, or anyone in a position of authority for that matter, might be involved in benefitting of this kind more or less implies that said minister is corrupt, and thus should resign.
THE STATE OF PLAY after this first innings is that Cameron has admitted that he rode this horse; ceding aging police horses to privately owned stables is not an uncommon practice; and riding horses is still legal, despite the efforts of the previous Labour government and its countryside-hating agenda.
THUS, HARPING ON ABOUT this issue, which seems to be the desire of the red tops and the reds in general, will merely doing what my title states.
