New Labour - Old Ethics

I seem to remember that at some point Tony Blair told us we were going to have an "ethical foreign policy". I assumed at the time, foolishly as it turns out, they he meant that they would apply positive ethics based on accepted Western values to their engagement with the world. It seems that I was wrong. The meant that they would apply standard and flexible capitalist ethics. These basically say you can do what you want in the interests of the shareholder or big business if you are in power.

Oh and the police squad running the investigation are convinced that they were being bugged.

Has anyone seen Patricia Dunn lately?
