Watching UK Prime Minister, David Cameron's performance in the House of Commons clearly revealed the stark difference with our lot. Firstly, he is legitimate as he has been elected by the people to the House of Commons and has not sneaked in through the backdoor of the House of Lords. He also leads a coalition with the LibDems but did not claim coalition adharma as an excuse for inaction against corruption. He admitted his mistake in appointing Andy Coulson as his PR officer in spite of advice to the contrary and did not bleat " I am honest, I am honest " like a demented old goat. He did not try to protect the guilty but announced an open ended judicial enquiry and police and press reforms. Sir Paul Stephenson, Commissioner of the Metropolitan police, the highest ranking police officer in Uk and Assistant Commissioner, John Yates resigned, not for any personal involvement in the phone hacking scandal but for not taking the initial reports seriously and investigating the charges with sufficient vigor. Compare that to our corrupt police and chiefs like Rathore who were promoted to the highest rank of Director General despite molesting and later hounding a teenage girl to death. The Metropolitan police have increased the number of officers from 45 to 60 so as to investigate the entire scandal thoroughly and with speed. Compare that to our politicians who try every trick to delay and impede investigation into any serious crime whether in UP or in Karnataka. The filthy Indian politicians think that amassing huge amounts of black money and bullying people with Z+ security earns them respect. Fact is foreigners spit on them just we do.
