I particularly liked the cable that reveled how Whitehall "mandarins" told the US to ignore the duly elected Prime Minister's decision about reducing Trident fleet and revealed the name of the person involved in briefing the press on it.
Delightful.
Last time I checked, I thought that passing on critical information to a foreign power was known as "espionage" and was punishable under the UK's secrecy statutes.
The cable was dated September 2009.
Which might mean that it has a meaningful connection to the then opposition Conservative Party's pledge of fealty to the US made during the election run up.
It seems to me that laws governing espionage, betrayal and so on have be shown to be entirely meaningless for all intents and purposes.
It also shows that the UK are, throughout its entire political and establishment fabric a US pawn, governed from Washington through its nominated "Consul" in Whitehall.
And I bet not one major UK political party will raise an eyebrow.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
