Anyone who saw Malcolm Rifkind and Jack Straw on the Channel 4 programme last evening will have seen first hand sleaze at work.
These two former UK foreign secretaries came across as pathetic individuals.
For a morning's talking engagement they wanted £5,000.00. These men, who spent years in the public square 'running the country'. It was worth noting the 'delicate' manner in which they brought up the subject of remuneration.
In their fine clothes, posh accents and 'wise words'.
And then their susequent explanations.
Sleaze, greed and brass necks.
These men would have over the years been telling workers they should be content with their lot.
The management class.

Straw, at least, should be before the courts for his cover-ups as Justice Minister (eg Torture in Uzbekistan & Child Abuse in Jersey).
All well documented in the public arena.
"The management class", That's a bit of a generalisation, Michael, isn't it? - Richard
Who are the people who sanction the guns and tanks in Ukraine today? Who are the people who called war in 1914 and 1939? They certainly were not the people, who today are crying for peace in Mariupol?
Who are the people who caused the current economic crisis?
Who are the people who make vast profits on the backs of the poor and marginalised?
Rifkind and Straw have so often spoken about noble traditions, protecting 'all that's good in society".
