    Sid - you really do like to go off on irrelivancies and avoid the substantive points.

    Yes it is not illegal to embarrass the Government and that is exactly my point because that is all Green did over immigration, so they find so obscure clause as an excuse to arrest him.

    Aitken and Archer was nothing to do with any their performance of their democratic role but in both cases related to sleeze. The Green case is nothing to do with sleeze it refers to the age old ways that Oppositions hold Government to account, their democratic duty.

    Chris - What is new about using the judicial system to silence some who might leak information? the answer is nothing. What IS new in this case is that the person who received the leaked information, an Opposition MP was arrested, not the 'leaker' of information. Churchill and Gordon Brown were not arrested in a simular situation. The point being the use of leaks from Government departments by Opposition MP's is a normal and established part of effective opposition.
