INVISIBLE INK: CAMERON PLAYS THE "INVISIBLE HAND" OF "CORE PARTICIPANT" STATUS IN ORDER TO PRE-VIEW WITNESS STATEMENTS
AND REQUEST "REDACTIONS"

LATEST: Cameron and his cronies have requested access to witness statements in advance

of ministerial appearances at the Leveson Inquiry, under the caveat of "core participants". This will apparently also allow them to request an unspecified number of "redactions" from said statements. Although Leveson has granted this request, he commented that it is "highly unusual". Indeed: if the Government has nothing to hide, why are they sweating so much?

With 'special adviser' Adam Smith carrying the can for Culture SECRETary Jeremy Hunt, the Prime Minister's human firewall is looking flimsier by the day... The questions keep stacking: Why did Cameron appoint a self-proclaimed "cheerleader" for Murdoch to act in a "quasi-judicial" capacity over the BSkyB bid? Why did Hunt refuse to pass the matter to the Competition Commission? Why has Cameron "recused" himself from the matter rather than take responsibility and pass it to Alex Allan, the man appointed to arbitrate the ministerial code? The Prime Minister needs to actually start answering some questions at PMQs for a change,
rather than leaving it to the public to draw its own conclusions...
