It's time the media circus around the royal hoax and the nurse's suicide came to an end

There are far too many people getting involved for no apparent reason other than to feed their own hunger for publicity.

Chief among these vultures is Keith Vaz MP who seems to have appointed himself spokesman for Jacintha Saldanha's family. Quite why he imagines he is entitled to take on this role is a mystery. He has nothing in common with them except an Asian heritage, but there are a million other people of Indian descent living here (see the 2011 census), nor is he their constituency MP. So why is he involving himself? It might be that common political ploy of distraction.

He might well be feeling guilty about something else and maybe he thinks that by covering himself with self-imagined glory less notice will be paid to some other indiscretion.

Keith Vaz MP is not without a record for indiscretions of one sort or another. These include being suspended from the Commons for a month for making false allegations against a former policewoman; giving false information to the Commons Standards Committee; failing to register payments totalling £4,500; involvement in the Hinduja ‘cash for passports’ affair; interfering in an inquiry into his friend, the bent solicitor Shahrokh Mireskandari, without declaring an interest; being mixed up with corrupt policeman Ali Dizaei; and being forced to repay parliamentary expenses to which he was not entitled.

Please don't get me wrong, I quite see that Mrs Saldanha's family are entitled to all the support available and certainly answers to the questions about the behaviour of the hospital authority's responses to the hoax call. But I can't see that Keith Vaz is the person to provide that.
