Comeuppance Log: Andrew Mitchell

Well - while the world holds its breath over the fate of the clumsy fare-dodging attempts of the Chancellor Gideon "Do you know who I am?" Osborne - Andrew Mitchell has fallen on his sword - perhaps in an attempt to distract attention from Gideon's malfeasance - or perhaps because he couldn't live with the fact that he had apologised for something that he said he hadn't said anyway to a policeman who'd accepted the apology for whatever it was Mitchell hadn't said while the rest of the world thought what he hadn't said was outrageous.   So from Bullingdon on a bike, we go to Bullingdon in a Buffet Car (there was no buffet car, that's just poetic licence).

And even more gloriously, Berlusconi is facing the prospect of 15 years in prison for sex with a minor - the famous Ruby Rubacuore... boy the great planetary aspects have really got it in for the rich and powerful - their misuse of their wealth and power is bringing them down - in a very satisfying way.

Meanwhile I am waiting for a few more ratchets to turn on Fortune's wheel and carry me to the highest spires of contentment... (c) John Donne.
