  Politicians will not be too troubled by what Rupert has to say.
  As we have seen before, it is the son wot puts the knife in. It is the father that is seen as the only hope that problems can be averted and much will have gone on in the background since James spoke to keep Rupert onside.
  
  In any case, the to-ing and fro-ing, the thrust and parry and the 'cakes-and-ale' glee of potential embarrassment are but side shows.
  
  The real meat, no matter the subject of any enquiry, is carved-up before the action begins. It a little thing called the 'Terms of Reference'.
  Oh how awful for the celebs, oh how terrible of the journos...But what of the insiders of this inside-job? Where did much of the information come from, who allowed so much 'corruption' to carry-on? Where, if we were to do the sensible thing and follow the money, would that trail lead?
  
  Fortunately the stated terms-of-reference do not require the enquiry to hear the testimony of any who might know just which public officers got fat at this feast.
