David Cameron was briefly obsessed by Reservoir Dogs

The controversy over Michal Kaminski shows no sign of dying down, indeed as the British election campaign has unofficially started, it seems that Labour will keep it alive. This is causing concern to the Czech Civic Democratic Party (ODS), who have had discrete chats with the EPP group. So far these have come to nothing, but as the adverse publicity builds, it is expected that they would only require a small push to jump ship. This may happen sooner, rather than later.

It is known that Edward MacMillan-Scott has a dossier on the ECR group leader and that journalists are making their enquiries. So far, all the speculation has been on Kaminski’s far-right past, but it seems that there is an altogether different line of enquiry being busily pursued by the media that, it is being whispered, could fatally damage the leader and the group.

Meanwhile MacMillan-Scott is awaiting the verdict on his appeal against being thrown out of the Conservative Party. David Cameron, the Conservative leader and Prime Minister in Waiting, is getting nervous about the issue of Europe, partially because he is unable to answer questions about what he would do when Klaus finally signs the Lisbon Treaty. He must hold the party together as long as he can, but will the pro-Europe Tories make a move? Partially, this depends on what the media discover about Kaminski.

If they do find something substantial, Cameron’s credibility will be on the line. Will Cameron and William Hague back down and keep close to MacMillan-Scott or will they stay consistent? If they do, and we shall soon know, MacMillan-Scott may, finally, show his hand.
