political circle-jerk merry-go-round

This is an UPDATE of the Keystone stories.
IN THE NEWS TODAY-
When we last met, Boris (w/o Natasha) was being accused of talking to the police chief and warning his colleagues that the police were on their way to sniff around a Conservative MP's office in Westminster.
So, Boris is being continuously (5 times) hauled in front of the Home Affairs committee where he is telling them one thing and then telling the media another thing about when he called his political 'boss' and fraternity brother Cameron. So, he checked his phone records and came up with 13:59, or 20 minutes after the bust had started.
first problem:
Okay, so he didn't tip off the guy so the MP could 'do an Enron' with his files. So, let Boris go home, or go 'castle'.
second problem:
In a proper democracy, Boris wouldn't have had 'access' to the police chief, and especially not access to information about sensitive cases which are underway.
third problem:
If this was a serious crime (mishandling secret police info), and Boris needed an alibi, then (for lack of a better option) call in the police, not the Home Affairs committee of parliament. That's a kangaroo court with chief kangaroo Keith Vaz who has been insulting Boris in the media for being 'economical with the truth'. What a joke!
fourth problem:
If this was not a crime, then the Home Affairs committee is designed to check up on, and embarrass the civic government of London, meaning that we are in the middle of a banana republic. The feds should not be allowed to check up on civic government, unless control-freakery has suddenly become a legitimate modus operandi.
fifth problem:
This whole issue is expertly being used to distract from the fact that the police raid on parliament was an attack on democracy. That fact has been completely ignored, just as I had foreseen in the first installment.
THEATRE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!
