Idiot MP's are complaining about the recent arrest of Damien green and the search of his parliamentary office by Police, presumably looking for evidence. Most of the complaints do seem to be coming from the Tories, which may be unsurprising considering Green himself is a Tory MP.
My issues with this complaining are........
a.) Do the disgruntled MP's think that they are above the law?
b.) Do they think that the police should need explicit permission from the Home Secretary to search an office?
c.) If the answer to b.) is yes, then shouldn't that apply to searches on company offices or even private homes?
d.) If a shadow MP receives information of a sensitive or classified nature from a civil servant, shouldn't he/she, as a matter of duty, then report that rather than just talk to the press?
e.) I didn't hear much complaining when people were being arrested in the 'cash for honours' scandal - from whcih of course not a single person was charged.
As I say, idiot MP's, a title that suits them all.
Another little gripe as well. Sir Michael Wright, the coroner in the Jean Charles de Menezes inquest has ruled out 'unlawful killing' as a verdict that the jury can return. So, the family have walked out in apparent protest. Hmmm....does this mean they would only accept one verdict as being right? That of 'unlawful killing' seems to be the only acceptable option to them. Which renders an inquest a bit pointless doesn't it?
Weeks , if not months have been spent on this in order to analyse the evidence. If only one verdict was right or possible then why bother with the cost and trauma of a very public inquest. I'm no judge, or even very au fait with the law but it seems on reading the coroners statement that he has based his summing up on a solid understanding and explanation of UK law rather than any emotional criteria that might come into play. Isn't that the right basis for any decision the jury may reach?
