I'm not generally one to be optimistic about the Tory party, but surely it is a
sign of desperation when David Davis calls
for "an independent judge-led inquiry" to find out whether David Blunkett
expedited what would have been an uncontroversial visa application, for
someone's nanny. Time was when sleaze was sleaze, this seems just like the sort
of thing that people often do at work, doing the bit of it that applies to their
friends quicker than the rest. It may not be right, but it's not incredibly
wrong. People who get annoyed at the barperson's friends getting served first do
not have a case.
