So it comes down to this. Do you trust this government to have acted honourably and have answered truthfully,that they had no prior knowledge of BT's illegal trials and the illegal interception of communications by equipment installed on the nations telecommunications infrastructure by Russian software coders as stated in the House of Lords by Lord West? If you do then that leaves them open to,at the very least,a charge of gross incompetetence and dereliction of duty and if they had any honour they would resign. If you do not believe their answers to be truthful and honest and are not convinced that they knew nothing of the trials, then they are guilty of a most serious breach of the law and a most serious abuse of power. In this case they should be removed from office and face the most severe penalty of the law. No matter which way they squirm one or other of these scenarios is the correct one and no amount of spin or obfuscation or delay can alter the fact. So which is it Mr. Brown, complicity or incompetence?

The only campaign that should worry the public is the one being mounted by the cabinet office to protect themselves and the Prime Minister in case any mud sticks. If any mud should stick they have no one to blame but themselves. They have behaved dishonourably in this matter from the start.
From a man who said;
"When I became Prime Minister I was also concerned, as a long-standing supporter of Charter 88, that our freedom of information was not robust enough. Transparency is the foundation of a modern democracy and I strengthened the public's right to secure information free of charge".
and also said,
"I'll consider anything that makes the political elite accountable to citizens"
Judge for yourselves how much you can trust them.
PM
