Vaz

Two points on the recent Keith Vaz stuff:

1) The Sun newspaper has published what appear to be CCTV photographs of Vaz at a hotel. How on earth has The Sun obtained these images? You'd think that the publication of the images, published for the sake of it and not to aid any kind of criminal investigation, would break a handful of privacy laws. Rather typically, the entire British media establishment doesn't appear to care, and the issue of the CCTV images specifically - not just the reporting of activity - has not received any noteworthy attention at all.

2) Vaz caught telling prostitutes he'd pay for their cocaine the same week the nightclub Fabric gets shutdown on the so blatantly fudged premises of a 'drug problem'. One rule for them, one rule for us. In one instance, a cabal of corporate media collude to expose a politician's involvement in prostitution and the sale of illegal substances... he still stands, a fully-salaried MP. In another instance, figures within the local police force and members of the local council (and god only knows who else) collude to shut down a nightclub... and it promptly falls.
