Prime Minister May refuses to say when report will conclude or if findings will ever be published.

As
recently as 18th November
last,
I wrote a piece asking "What has
happened to the Damian Green Investigation?"
It seems that we now have the answer. The sound of closing ranks and
doors slamming shut in Downing Street, together with the refusal of
Theresa May to direct that the cabinet
office investigation led by Sue Gray be concluded forthwith and that
the findings of the investigation be published without further delay,
is in direct contradiction to the assurances that May gave in a
previous
commitment to full transparency.
The
way in which Green is apparently immune from investigation and
protected from any consequences in respect of his (alleged) offences,
is outrageous
and an insult to the public perception of justice. What is even worse
however, if that is at all possible in this wretched tale of
conspiracy
and cover up, is the role of the Prime Minister herself who appears
determined at all costs it seems, to protect Green in his post as
First Secretary of State and in effect the Deputy Prime Minister,
thereby insuring at least one ally around the Cabinet table.
The
government of this country has descended into the world of self
interest and expediency where the good of the United Kingdom is
relegated to
second place, somewhere behind the ambitions and aspirations of
certain cabinet members. Damian Green, is the epitome of the privileged politician from the Britsh establishment who believes himself to be outside the rules and laws to which the vast majority
of ordinary people adhere and is therefore somehow
exempt
from
any repercussions resulting from his actions or antics.

As
each day passes, Theresa May demonstrates the extent to which she,
personally, is complicit in this continuing suppression of the facts surrounding Green's arrest for "
"aiding
and abetting misconduct in public office" and "conspiring
to commit misconduct in a public office".
The further
allegations of inappropriate advances to a young Tory party activist
and pornography being found by police on his House of Commons
computer form part of the wider
inquiry now stalled in Downing Street.
We can only draw the conclusion that Theresa May is deliberately
obstructing the investigations
into these allegations, as part of her ongoing endeavors to cling to
office at any cost and proving that self interest and expediency,
comes some way before national interest.
