5. To hell with Liam Fox

He had to resign because of a scandal, as he was taking a personal and business friend with him to important diplomatic meetings when he was Defence Secretary, despite the friend having no official position. So he has no right to complain about others breaking security rules.

And by the way, Fox was openly an advisor to Romney in the last presidential election, despite being an MP and former defence secretary here. If it is not against the rules for an active elected politician in one country to interfere personally with the elections in another, it should be. (Though American DU-ers should not worry in this case, as Fox is so stupid, that his interventions could only have assisted Romney's defeat.)
