Lord Goldsmith jumps before he was pushed

It is welcoming news that the corrupt Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, is to leave office. As the article points out "It seemed unlikely that Gordon Brown would have asked Lord Goldsmith to stay on because of his associations in the public mind with the consequences of the Iraq war, cash-for-honours and the aborted investigation of the Saudi arms deal with BAE Systems". Lord Goldsmith self praises himself by claiming that he has been the longest serving Attorney General under a Labour government. However, self praise is no recommendation. And, neither is this a good recommendation "Tony Blair thanked Lord Goldsmith for discharging his responsibility "at all times with integrity and professionalism". The Prime Minister told him: "You can look back at your time as Attorney General with both personal and professional pride." The most corrupt Attorney General being praised by the biggest liar.
