Rebirth of England

It has to be said that the news brought by Chris completely disrupted Barron's rhythm.

Barron was not ready for the Viscountess to be pregnant with a child. After all, the relationship would really become a bit messy...

But as he said, this kind of thing may be hidden for a while, but it is destined to be difficult to hide for too long.

If Chris insists on giving birth to this child... then she really needs to think carefully about how to tell Bonnie about this.

Fortunately, Bonnie was still producing the first season of "Love Island" in Spain at this time, so Barron still had time to prepare.

…

Just when Barron was getting into trouble caused by Chrissy's pregnancy, something happened that also caused trouble for the current Prime Minister.

On July 18, a man's body was found in a woods in Oxfordshire. The body was proved to be David Kelly, a weapons expert from the British Ministry of Defense.

The grove where the body was found is only five miles away from David Kelly's home.

The final autopsy showed that the weapons expert of the Ministry of Defense died of suicide. Well, it was not the kind of suicide where he was shot eight times in the back, but he did commit suicide by slitting his wrists...

It was just because of his suicide that both the BBC and the British Prime Minister received massive condemnation.

The reason is because David Kelly has had contact with BBC reporters before.

As a weapons expert for the British Ministry of Defense, David Kelly once participated in weapons inspections against Iraq.

As early as February this year, Kelly talked to BBC reporter Andrew about the upcoming anti-Safa war.

On May 22, the two met again in a hotel in London. The two talked about the war that had just ended and the situation surrounding Saddam Hussein's weapons.

Then on May 29, BBC reporter Andrew said in a report for Channel 4 that a "senior intelligence official" told him that the intelligence on the anti-Salmon war was fabricated.

Moreover, in an interview reported by The Independent in June with BBC reporter Andrew, he also said that Campbell, the director of the Prime Minister's Press Office, should clarify the false claims that Saddam Hussein can launch weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes. Responsible for information.

Both the Prime Minister's Office and Campbell later denied this statement and demanded an apology from the BBC.

This matter continues to ferment with the participation of many media. In addition, as of now, Saddam's regime has long fallen, and Britain and the United States still have not found so-called "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq. This has once again made the anti-war sentiment in Britain Be induced.

It was not until July 9 that Defense Minister Hoon wrote to the BBC chairman demanding to know who disclosed the intelligence to BBC reporters. Later it was claimed that Kelly was the person who disclosed the situation to the BBC.

On July 15, Kelly claimed that he was not the person who disclosed the main facts to the BBC.

On July 16, while visiting the United States, Buller was asked about the matter in an interview, claiming that the British Parliament and the BBC should name the person who disclosed the situation.

So on July 17, Kelly committed suicide, suspected of being overwhelmed.

According to the "Sunday Times" published on July 20, the newspaper conducted an exclusive interview with Kelly before his suicide and obtained several emails before his death.

Kelly once told reporters that after he was forced to be involved in the Iranian banned weapons counterfeiting scandal, he felt like being "put into a meat grinder" and was under unbearable pressure every day.

On May 29 this year, BBC reporter Andrew stated in a report that a "senior intelligence official" in the British government once told him that the intelligence on the Iraq War was "fabricated" by the government.

The incident immediately triggered a fierce dispute between the British government and the BBC over whether the Iraqi intelligence had been exaggerated.

Not long after, the Ministry of Defense suddenly pointed out that the senior government official who provided the source to the BBC was David Kelly, a weapons expert who had participated in weapons inspections against Iraq.

As a result, Kelly suddenly became the core figure of the entire incident.

On July 15, he was forced to go to the House of Commons for questioning, but he firmly denied that he had provided information to the BBC.

In the email, Kelly said he had thought the Department of Defense would take it on for him, but instead what he expected was the Department of Defense notifying him that his identity would be made public.

He said he was "very shocked" because he had always thought it would be a "secret that would not be made public."

After British Defense Secretary Hoon revealed Kelly's identity, his name immediately flooded newspapers and magazines across the UK, which made him feel the pain of "betrayal and disappointment".

Kelly also revealed in an email that he wanted to leave the "stifling environment" in England.

Obviously, this time, in addition to the fact that the BBC report was criticized for being slightly inaccurate - the BBC confirmed on the 20th that David Kelly was the "main source" that provided them with information about the British government's tampering with Iraqi intelligence. Previously, both the BBC and Kelly himself denied it.

The most questionable thing is the British government and the Prime Minister at this time.

When Kelly committed suicide, Prime Minister Bullock was leaving the United States and flying to Japan to begin his Asian tour.

When he suddenly learned of Kelly's death on the special plane, he showed great anxiety.

The Prime Minister's spokesman said that the Prime Minister himself was deeply saddened by Kelly's death and hoped that the British media would exercise restraint.

Although the Prime Minister has appeared to be calm and collected about Kelly's suicide in public, there is no doubt that he is facing tremendous pressure from domestic opposition parties and British society as a whole.

At present, British public opinion is almost unanimous in believing that Kelly is the scapegoat of the Brilliant government.

Labor MP Glenda Jackson Key even bluntly said that Buller, Campbell and Hoon should all resign. Because if Bullock continues to be in office, the British government may face greater embarrassment as the investigation gets closer to the truth.

However, Barron understands that although this incident is a big blow to the current Labor government, it is simply impossible to oust it.

Even when he was discussing this with Cameron, Cameron himself was relatively sober and believed that this time it would only hit the Labor Party's support rate at best.

This is indeed the case. According to the latest opinion poll results released by The Guardian on the 22nd, only 39% of the British people still trust Buller, a drop of 12 percentage points from a month ago.

Blair's personal evaluation dropped to minus 17 points - and at the beginning of the Iraq War ended with the victory of the US and British coalition forces, Blair's score once rose to plus 7 points.

At the same time, the ruling Labor Party's current public support rate is only 36%, only two percentage points ahead of the opposition Conservative Party. Two months ago, the Labor Party enjoyed a 12 percentage point advantage. The Conservative support rate is 34%.

Although analysts pointed out that Kelly's death was the most serious crisis the Brilliant government has encountered in its six years in power, the government's credibility has been severely hit.

But even now, Labor's support rate is still higher than that of the Conservative Party, and it is far from time to oust it from power.

Therefore, in this whirlpool of public opinion, the media controlled by Barron, although there are many reports related to this, are still very cautious in wording.

He did not become the "vanguard" against Burei's policy as clearly as before the war with Iraq.

Since it is impossible to defeat the opponent through this, it is better to gain some benefits for yourself.

For example, when the Prime Minister concluded his visit to Japan and South Korea and arrived in China, his team included Rob Pike, CEO of Cavendish Hotel Group, and Nathan Ellington, CEO of Argos Company. .
