Missing Integrity

If the person in charge of a nation has integrity then it follows his or her decisions will be taken free from external influence. Thus we once witnessed the mass expulsion of Russian diplomats by Maggie Thatcher. Today the Sunday press apparently reveals more Russian spy activity in the UK than in the worst days of the cold war, while other reports abound of 'spy' poisoning by state produced radioactive isotopes apparently traceable back to Russia on BA planes. Yet after several days this death is reported by police only as suspicious and diplomatic relations remain untouched. Is this another penalty of our Prime Minister's doubtful record? What have the plethora of Russian agents in London uncovered about the inner workings of New Labour that seems to have made our Government incapable of the mildest of diplomatic responses to what appears to be cold blooded murder?
