Thanks for that. What you say does make me wonder if this is more a case of gross incompetence on the part of the govt ministers "involved" (or not as the case may be!). Labour is increasingly giving the impression that they haven't got a clue how to manage their departments/run a govt (from a technical point of view – i.e., ignoring the adequacy of their actual policies).

If the leakers who infest our streets and byways
outside or near pubs were pursued with the assiduity visited upon Damian Green, our neighbourhoods would be much cleaner and more salubrious!

Now HMG has control of a major lending bank, look for politically-motivated lending policies which aren't commercially motivated. I think we can all imagine where this is leading…..

It because the Opposition is increasingly showing it's 'mettle' that Damien was victimized. Usual two day gap between 'Opposition' success and public reprisal.

Like all corrupt regimes, the instigators always get others to do their 'dirty work' hence Brown's increasing 'imbecilic smirks'.

British 'journalism' is the laughing stock of the world.

What a great idea! I would be rather amused to see Robert Peston and Nick Robinson dragged away to the cells (which incidentally, if this thing plays out to the nightmare conclusion is exactly what will happen ~ the revolution always eats its children).

I'm guessing the BBC wouldn't be quite so sanguine about that

BBC has just interviewed Keith Vaz about the arrest of Damian Green.
Heaven knows the relevance of Keith Vaz's opinion in this matter and despite the BBC putting itself out as a news broadcaster it has still not to my knowledge tackled a minister about it.

Where is Jacqui Smith, Jack Straw et al or people from the Home Office ???

He also dodged the question altogether by saying it's a police matter and to await the outcome of their "enquiries", and he then went skating off into "And the British government should offer its full support to India" ????

The man is a nonsense and the BBC are just as daft for airing an interview with him.

Are there any opposition politicians actually left in the country who are known to the BBC I wonder, and is it just me who sees this total biased broadcasting machine as requiring overhaul ???

Also, the person who ordered the arrest of Damian Green under anti-terror laws should be SACKED unless there is evidence of suspicion or an act of terror and the government minister in charge of this disgrace to our democratic freedoms should have her knitting taken away and ordered to clear her desk.

Reply:
I wish to make it clear that our principal spokesman on these matters, Dominic Grieve, put out a detailed and hard hitting press release about this yeasterday and is available for interview should the BBC wish. Many other Conservative MPs including myself are working despite Parliament yet again being closed down, and are by our phones should the BBC wish to talk to us. We have plenty to say.

John,

Labour are guilty of many things which I disagree with. But four stand out:

1. Their trashing of the economy.
2. Their relegation of parliament to that of a mere rubber stamp.
3. Their debasing of the political process through the use of spin.
4. Their politicising of the civil service.
