Sir Michael one said that, there is a big difference to
being English than being British, by the grace of God your English, and by the
power of the dark-one your British "All the great Whitehall offices are
about something. The Treasury is about taking your money, as much as they think
they can get away with, the Home Office is about crime when its suits, and the
Cabinet Office is about greed and power there are offices that have no name on
paper but they are there?."

Sir Michael said; The Cabinet Office is the real secret
powerhouse of British politics. With the key task of keeping the government s
public show on the road, it likes to do its work out of the limelight and many
things in secret, and it was for this reasons I was turned down for the post as
senior Cabinet adviser, because I want everything out in the open and to let
the English public know what’s really going on, not just here in England but
other counties that the British have interest in, and what is costing English
tax payers, when this money could be better spent here in England looking after
and helping our country and its people?.

Just over year ago the Cabinet Office became the centre of
the political and media world when negotiating teams from the Tories and Lib
Dems went to a series of meetings there to hammer out the Cameron-Clegg “Bent”
and “Corrupted” coalition deals, which is starting to put England back into a
right old mess with the English people once more footing the bills.

Behind the Cabinet Office's green doors you find the most
dark and sinister, the government's high tech anti-terrorist intelligence and
emergency centre which in truth most don’t know their A***s from their elbows
said Sir Michael, they never knew and still don’t have a clue about the ones
that are watching them within the same dark corridors of the same power masters.

Sir Michael went on to say; Current incumbent Sir Gus
O'Donnell has been called by some "the man who really holds the ring"
The task of overseeing the security of the state is delegated by the prime
minister personally to his top civil servant, the cabinet secretary, but Sir
Gus still lives in the delusion as many of the British, that of the British Empire
or Grate Britain, what they cannot grasp is those days have gone and now they
should be looking out for England’s interest which has far more power than when
it was an Empire or call Grate by they don’t see it nor how to use it?.

Working from one of the grandest offices in Whitehall, the
cabinet secretary is the most powerful unelected member of the government and
he pulls the secret invisible strings across the whole of government.

The Cabinet Office itself was born in 1916 during World War

military, with orders being confused and not acted on no real changes there
then still the same in 2011 Blair is a very good illustration of that?.

Things came to a climax with the disastrous battle of the

creation of the Cabinet Office.

The coalition government has made Sir Gus the highest
profile cabinet secretary so far which wasn’t any real surprise to some of us,
but most haven’t a clue what’s going on in their own daily lives, let-alone
what’s going on in the British government, which sails above most normal
intellects.
