Senior Tory angered by his arrest
« on: November 28, 2008, 07:55:32 AM »
Quote from: BBC Web Shite
A senior Conservative MP has reacted angrily to his arrest by police investigating the alleged leaking of Home Office information.

Damian Green denied any wrongdoing and said: "I was astonished to have spent more than nine hours today under arrest for doing my job."

Source

I'm not sure how to react to this... On one hand it sounds so terribly wrong and the conservatives are righjt top be upset about it...

On the other hand with all the news of people being stopped for taking pictures in a public place, having their bin too full, etc. we should not be surprised...

After all, it seems a long time ago that the police would concentrate on catching and prosecuting real criminals... people that attacked their fellow citizens or stole their property, broke into their houses, intimidated them on the streets, etc.

Far better to send a whole load of officers on a safe job like this than patrolling the streets - he should think himself lucky that they haven't all got Tazers yet...

We seem to have been beating our keyboards at about the same time. I posted much the same under my David Blunkett thread.
Should we merge the two?

It proves many things ~ That the Met believe themselves to be above the rules (but that is nothing new)
That Nu Labour tells lies
That the Magistrate who signed the search warrants (there were at least 4 warrants) knows to which party he owes his/her job. The whole point about a search warrant is that the Magistrate or Judge who signs it has to be satisfied that the police "have just cause to believe that a crime has been or may be about to be committed"
That Boris warned the Acting Police Commissioner before the raids were carried out.

All this manpower, using anti terrorist officers, when there is a major terrorist incident in India and every possibility that Asians in the UK might take the opportunity for some action of their own. It simply beggars belief.

Police are always banging on about "Making best use of limited resources" and "Prioritisation".
If this is an example God Help Us.

Thisis very serious.Police arrest an MP. Not for fraud, cash for honours, embezzlement or lying, oh no, for asking awkward questions. ANd Brown and SMith claim to have known nothing about it. Pull the other one.

There is a lot of shit to be excavated around this one. The SUnday papers should be interesting

Smith's fat fingers are all over this. Even teh Speaker knew before the raids, so how could the Home Sec not know?She prolly started it. And this bastard govt leaks stuff all the time (VAT reductions over last weekend for example).

That about sums it up ~ but why can't more people see this?
Seemingly normal, intelligent people who I meet are still saying "Gordon is the man to solve the country's problems" Are they all fvcking stupid? ~ Gordon is the cause not the cure. cussing:


And before you ask ~ the people I speak to are not all Welsh.
One very angry Scot who live opposite would gladly kill the b@st@rd but everyone else around here (a strongish Tory area) seems beguiled by the twat.

Interesting ~ I doubt that Speaker Martin can issue search warrants but he is certainly the only man who can grant permission to anyone, including the police, to violate an MP's office within the Houses of Parliament.

It seems that Nick Robinson has upset more than a few.

Personally I can't stand the odious little twerp.
