Muhammad Haque daily commentary on the state of ethics in 'politics' in the UK

How could Gordon Brown end up being ‘head’ of an administration that has today been reported as having engineered yet another corrupting device that they could later use to reward those who had let the people down?
The intended rewarding of those whom the constituency voters have rejected, is contained in a so-called report that was commissioned by Hazel Blears - or may be by Ruth Kelly before Kelly got shifted to Crossrail promoter’s task and Blears was brought in to front the disastrously wasteful and immoralising ‘department for communities’ and assorted other corrupting clichés.
I say ‘corrupting clichés ’ advisedly.
Hazel Blears is only appropriate, in a wide social context - as different from her keenness to hang on to a parliamentary seat which keenness would prompt her to do any number of almost civilised stunts - for a clichéd post and position. The evidence of her career so far strongly suggests that she is pre-civilised. As we understand the term ‘civilised’.
That is why Blears did not notice the immorality, the unethicality, the uncivilsing messages and contexts of some of her utterances that she had made whilst serving time as a ‘minister’ in the Blaired UK administration.
It is for these reasons that the ‘report’ ‘recommending’ the rewarding of councillors even more than is the case already is to be seen.
Councillors who are not seen as representatives in a democratic setting can not do any good. But Blears has no morality to be able to see this.
Both her rewarding-the-failing councillors bid and her own claim to be taken seriously as an honest politician are doomed.
