Under the radar
The British Politics blog is running a nice feature called ‘Under the Radar’, highlighting the stories that are “Jo Moored” (i.e. quietly reported while everyone is looking the other way).
One such story is this one about ex-Treasury minister and government fixer Geoffrey Robinson not being prosecuted for the cocaine found in his car when he was stopped in December for motoring offences. I was about to describe this as ‘breathtaking’ when I noticed that he also refused to take a breathaliser test.

Sounds like you have the same great politicians over there. I’m from the States and this happens all the time. Do you know Bush has been caught for 2 dui’s and found guilty once? I found all kinds of stupid facts like that on this drinking and driving site here.
Also I read about politicans trying to ban Breathaliser key chain because that means less money coming in from DUI’s…
keep up the good repoting!
