There was a process

Bier Smarmer’s stance on the Mandelsleaze appointment as the UK ambassodor to the US seems to be that everything sloshing around now was in the public domain at the time of the appointment, and the vetting process gave Mandy an okay. And all the fuss is more about the personal ambitions of those who want to replace Bier than anything new and shocking.
    There’s also a sub-text of ‘what’s wrong with telling lies if you’re a politician anyway?’ It’s something the would-be Bier substitutes do all the time when they’re not trying to pull off tax swindles. Despite all the po-faced denials.
