SO A silly mistake has cost Liam Fox his job has Defence Secretary. You would think educated people such as him would not fall into the trap that he made for himself.
Once the media got hold of this story, he had no chance of surviving; then the Shadow Cabinet had to have its say. So Dr Fox had to offer his resignation to the Prime Minister, which was the rightly thing to do, under the circumstances.
Dr Fox did a good job as Defence Secretary so hopefully we will see him back in the Cabinet, sometime in the future.
