The rest of them? Definitely not as squeaky clean as those two.

Unfortunately I think you may be right.
What I really don't understand is how Stephenson (on C£250k pa) accepted the stay at Champneys and Yates forwarded an email CV to get someone a job. Whatever way you look at it they should have known better.

I remember seeing a corruption table somewhere and the UK came just above Spain in public corruption levels, I think we came in at number 14 in world levels, Mexico came top.

The only thing he did right was stop himself sinking any deeper into the mire by pretending he knew nowt about nowt.

The irony is astounding, the two most squeaky-clean top police officers in the country have been forced to resign by Keith Vaz, the sleaziest and most corrupt MP in parliament.

Yates, especially, must be scratching his head. He specialised in tackling police corruption throughout his career, and rose right to the top because of his apparent honesty. And there he was, being grilled by Vaz, dishonest as the day is long, and even looks it.

One of the saner members of the committee, an intelligent lady, said that listening to some of the comments made her think that she had just fallen down a rabbit hole.

I thought that all the way through, and by the looks of it, so did old Rupert.

So it seems James was telling the MPs porkies.
Surprise, surprise.

Also a little more evidence has come to light regarding dodgy activities in the States.
