Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, put spin before the safety of the public. Despite knowing about illegal immigrants being employed by the Home Office - as security staff, of all things - in July she did nothing. Well, nothing to protect us anyway. She was far too busy spinning to save herself. In August, a Home Office memo read:
The Home Secretary has seen your submission of today's date ... She agrees with you that this is not ready for public announcement yet.
So she knew, but did nothing about it.How can they possibly justify knowing about it in July, yet doing nothing about it until November - five months later?
Can the first female Home Secretary survive much longer, or will David Davis claim yet another Home Secretary scalp for his collection?
