Never let it be said I’m totally unfair: I’m sitting here as usual listening to the radio and up pops Justin Webb on BBC Radio 4 You & Yours , talking about the US lobby system, Abramoff and corruption in a general discussion on government lobbying.
Is Webb breaking his silence at last? Will wonders ever cease? That said, it’s You & Yours, a consumer show, not an actual news programme. I wonder how many are actually listening?
Oh god, he’s just called the Abramoff affair a ‘periodic crackdown’ , and that it ‘will be embarassing for a week or two, and then in a year it will be forgotten.’
I take it back. He might’ve broken his apparent vow of silence on Washington misdoings, but alarm over, the status quo has been maintained.
