Today three members of the (upper) House of Lords have been implicated in a similar cash for questions scandal. They are;
- Lord Laird of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) which is the Northern Irish Loyalist/Protestant equivalent of Sinn Fein.
- Lord Mackenzie who is the former Chief Superintendent of Durham police and head of the Police Superintendents Association making him one of the most senior police officers in the country.
- Lord Cunningham who was a Minister in Tony Blair's Labour government where he was said to act as an enforcer. He is accused of taking money from a company that makes solar panels - as in devices used to take the energy of the sun/son and turn it into power.
As the worst abusers in this case all claim to be Labour Party supporters their response has been more muted merely suspending Lords Mackenzie and Cunningham pending investigation. I suppose this rather proves the old adage that you can say what you like about Hitler but Stalin was worse.
Who has got to be feeling really nervous now is anyone who bears a passing resemblance to Mary Hogg the other 'Judge' who acted in my grandmother's Court of Protection (COP) proceedings or the actual Baroness Gardner who had extensive contact with both my father and grandmother while the worst of the abuse took place.
And to think, there are still people who consider mentioning Rihanna to be 'name-dropping.'
