Miscarriage of Justice Minister

Cathy Jamieson's entry into the fingerprint debate could hardly have been less impressive. For years, Rory Bremner has been making a living parodying Tony Blair's "Let's Move On - It's time to draw a line under this" response to difficult questions. It's a technique copied by most of Tony's cronies. To see hapless wee Cathy trying a similar stunt today was just very sad for our fledgling devolved state. How can we 'move on' ? Every single taxpayer in Scotland donated approximately 30 pence to Shirley McKie last week. I don't think it's unreasonable that we want to know why. How can we 'move on'? Every fingerprint examination department in the developed world thinks the SCRO is either utterly incompetent or worse, deliberately dishonest. How can we move on? There is a festering sore in the body politic. The reluctance of those responsible to address their minds to curing it could initially be ascribed to simple incompetence and lack of ability. With each passing day it begins to look more and more like concerted, dishonest, criminal cover-up. I do not, however, accuse Cathy Jamieson of deliberate dishonesty. She is far too stupid for that.
