A couple of minutes later another one arrived this time some cartoon pornography again quickly deleted

A couple of minutes later, another one arrived; this time some cartoon pornography, again quickly deleted. I just couldn't think who on earth could be sending me such stuff - I have some fairly bad-taste friends, but not to that extreme. The clips just kept on coming; I tried refusing them, but they were just re-sent; you had to open each one and delete it in order to get rid of it At that point, it suddenly became distinctly frightening The phone buzzed again; this time a still photograph. I don't really want to go into it in detail, because it was the sort of thing which, even relayed in description, would probably hang around your head unpleasantly for days I quickly stopped it, and deleted it. Anyway, I opened it. Within five seconds, I saw the sort of thing it was - a film of really sickening violence, apparently of some real-life atrocity committed somewhere in the Middle East. Sunday afternoon, a week or two back.

I was on a crowded train from Exeter to London, one that seemed to be stopping at every other lamp-post. My mobile squawked; someone was trying to send a video clip. It didn't say who, and I couldn't think of anyone who I knew who might want to. It will be a parliamentary triumph if this Commons committee can find out to whom those cheques were made out and to follow the money to the gory end.simoncarr75 hotmail More from Simon Carr. To fire a police chief who is investigating the Prime Minister would be even beyond this Government's blushes. But it's not therefore in the Met's interests to complete the investigation swiftly.

So the Committee's threat to resume evidence-gathering in three weeks should focus the police attention. Actually, no one is under investigation, Plod is still in the middle of his stupid "scoping study".Ian Blair's job looks very much more secure than it did two weeks ago. A Scotch economist of the 18th century said: "Democracy will endure only until the majority of electors realise they can vote themselves largesse from the public purse." It is a low thought, and quite low enough to be true.NB: The Met had leant on the Public Administration Committee and got them to put off their evidence session with the unlordly Lenders, even though neither are under investigation. He said it would take a very rich man indeed to offer loans to the majority of his electors This went to the heart of our system of government. Hence aura of fragrant heroism.The downside of her selflessness is that Bridget Prentice answers questions on the constitution Mrs Prentice has one unique and highly prized talent. She brings to her position the gravitas of Ab Fab's Bubble and is therefore able to bring the Government into greater disrepute than it already is.Mrs P said transparency was essential and they were going to legislate to make loans declarable. She seems not to realise there are many other ways of acquiring credit than through loans (technical suggestions to the address below are welcome).Sir Alan Haslehurst continues to canter through the order paper and, further joy, got us to number 24, about the House of Lords.A Scots MP wanted the Lords elected.

At that point, Harriet could have chucked husband or job and chose job Or part of the job. Her husband, treasurer of the Labour party, you remember, knew nothing of the loans-for-lordships and broke the scandal. Virtue is the secret that keeps her complexion so petal-soft. Tessa Jowell and she used to look like sisters in that soap ad; now Harriet looks like Tessa's daughter in that other soap ad.Harriet's immediate reaction to the loans revelation was to resign her ministerial interest in constitutional affairs That's not the same as resigning, obviously. Sketch: "Is it Mrs Harman or Mrs Prentice doing Questions today?" Official: "Probably Mrs Prentice as it's more constitutional than criminal." Sketch: "But isn't it the same thing, these days?"A joke! And question time hadn't even started.Harriet Harman arrived in a fragrance, and glowed from the front bench.

And last but not least it will enable individuals to do more to reduce their emissions Action at all three levels is essential We will press on with them all.. It also outlines measures that will affect all the major sectors and sources of emissions in the UK. It sets out an ambitious plan to secure global agreement for action to stabilise the concentration of greenhouse gas emissions that we need to meet this challenge. It will keep Britain at the forefront of action to tackle climate change. I am immensely proud of the action that the UK has taken, internationally and at home. The Government's Climate Change Programme, launched yesterday, sets out our future leadership plans.
